    “An absolutely outstanding property!”

    We all had the most amazing time at The Ridge. Every time we went out to explore, we couldn’t wait to get back to such a beautiful home! It really is one of the best properties you can stay in the Lake District. There is so much space for everyone with plenty to do. The convenience of having SUPs, Kayaks & Canoe’s accessible at the dock was a real highlight. Beth was amazing in organising our stay with no problems.

There is also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake.
