Tucked away on the shores of Buttermere in the Lake District, with expansive views of the lake and the craggy fells beyond, stands Hassness House, our private country house in the Lake District, specifically tailored to walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. We've operated Lake District walking holidays in this unique property for more than 65 years and it remains a perennial favourite with our guests for guided walking holidays and independent, self-guided walking breaks around Buttermere and the Western Fells.
Although within easy reach of Keswick, this is one of the remotest parts of the Lake District, where local Herdwick sheep dot the hillsides and red squirrels can be seen in the woods.
Wildflowers and seasonal blooms of bluebells provide pops of colour among the greens and browns of the hills and fells. If you're looking to get away soon, see our Lake District holidays with late availability.
