With a young family ourselves, we've
tried to offer a wide range of extras to make sure that your stay is
safer, less hassle and more fun.
The basics - wooden cots (with
duvet or blankets),
highchairs, and stairgates - can all be booked in advance and set up for
your arrival.
Order a box of traditional
children's toys (from three age ranges) to collect when you arrive - no
charge, just a deposit. There is also a good range of family games in
each cottage.We also have a great adventure
playground with swings, tower, rope frame, slide, tunnel and suspension
bridge. The playground is for children aged from about 2 to 9.
All cottages come complete with
digital television with video and DVD players. Free access to a large collection
of books, videos and DVDs (with lots of childrens titles) is available.
All the family
will enjoy the indoor Games Room, with full size table tennis, pool and
table football - and the unique 'digger and dozer' construction site.
Don't forget that
you have full free of charge access
to the fantastic facilities at the
North Lakes Spa in Penrith with
swimming and paddling pools
and a games room with Nintendo Wii and air hockey.

Our most popular
pre-school cottage is
Miller Moss (chosen to feature in
Cumbria Tourism's 2008 national marketing campaign, above right) - lots
of space, double and twin bedrooms adjacent with space in either for a
cot, practical yet stylish furnishings...and great value. |

in the car - our 'baby and toddler rescue cupboard' contains just
about everything you could think of - baby monitor sets, nightlights,
bed protectors, baby bath, potty, playpen, backpack carrier, pushchair,
bouncy chair, fireguards and lots more. All can be borrowed free of
charge (subject to availability) |

Get the kids to bed, then 'eat out'
in your cottage from one of our Pre-Arrival Order Service menus. Or let
us arrange a babysitter for you to really escape. |
