Bawd Hall
Luxury Self-Catering

COVID-19 NOTICE:

Bawd Hall re-opened on Monday 12 April. The government roadmap places restrictions on the size and composition of parties that we can accept. Currently, we can only accept parties all from one household and it seems that the best that we can hope for is:

from 17 May, to be able to accept parties of no more than 6 persons or all of whose members belong to 2 households
to be fully open from 21 June

We will offer discounted prices for smaller parties. We can offer the following prices to parties of no more than 6 persons:
For bookings not in the May half term and taking place between Friday 16 April and Friday 25 June, 7 nights starting on a Monday or Friday for £1150, 3 night weekend or 4 night mid-week break for £850.

If you have specific dates in the future when you would like to come, please get in touch either by telephone to the owner, Alison Evens on 01900 828189, by email to Enable JavaScript to view protected content. or by completing the on-line booking enquiry form on our availability and prices page . Given that the situation still holds uncertainties, we are prepared to offer parties who are prevented from staying at Bawd Hall, owing to COVID-19 issues, a postponement or full refund.

Please note that Bawd Hall benefits from superfast (FTTP) internet which can be of enormous benefit at the current time. While we can never guarantee availability, it has been reliably fast since installation.

The Whinlatter WildPlay trail is for children of all ages. Its 9 different play areas take you on a journey through the trees and include a climbing wall, water features, giant swings and a secret path.

Horse back is a truly superb way to explore the Lake Districts Fells, Valleys and Beaches

See the amazing fish at the Maryport aquarium

There are two marinas on nearby Derwent Water with a range of craft for hire, and sailing instruction available

The climbing wall near Keswick has over 40 top rope climbs with a height of up to 8 metres, providing climbers of all abilities with every challenge they could want

Our guests say...

"Had a great time at Bawd Hall. Me and my friend stayed in the huge room, the bed was so warm. The little lambs near by are v. sweet." - WL, London
"The children are hooked on walking now. They experienced the ‘hill that never ends’ in Barrow to Causey Pike and wanted more!" - AC, London
"The house is huge and great. I don’t want to leave. The week has gone so quick." - ED, Edinburgh
"3 year old D loved the stream in the garden and talking to the sheep & cows. A wonderful week. Thank you!!" - JL
"A wonderful house for a family holiday – three generations. A great house for ‘sardines’ and ‘murder’. Not forgetting L the dog." - RD, Devon
"Another great stay at Bawd Hall. We’ve grown by 2 this year, but found the place baby friendly too!" - JG, Hampshire

There are plenty of ways to keep the kids amused. Aside from the wide range of activities to tire out children of all ages (see Activity Holidays), they will especially enjoy:

wildlife and animal parks;
the seaside and aquariums;
lots of activities in the Whinlatter Forest Park;
activity centres which cater for multi-age activities such as pony trekking;
Bawd Hall’s own table tennis.

They also enjoy just messing about at Bawd Hall: playing in the garden, going down to thebeck, watching the wildlife. But please take care to look after toddlers on the steep slopes and by water.
