Thornthwaite is ideally situated for those wishing to go walking, cycling or just relaxing, with many walks and cycle routes from your cottage door including the Lakes & Dales Loop and the Bay Cycle Way, and for those who enjoy fishing we also have our own trout fishing lake.

Nestling at the foot of the Southern Fells, our comfortable Gold Award Lake District Log Cabins offer great self-catering accommodation.
We have two Log Cabins, the larger Larch Log Cabin is fully equipped and offers more space.
The Cosy Glamping Cabin as its name suggests offers a simpler 'glamping' experience, but with a wonderful veranda to take in the views.
Further details can be found on the individual log cabin page.
The two Log Cabins are sited in the old orchard surrounded by pasture and woodland and are in a relaxing rural setting, yet are within easy driving distance of the popular tourist centres of the Lakes District.
