The Old Post Office Gillerthwaite

Buttermere and Borrowdale, North West England

The Old Post Office Gillerthwaite
The Old Post Office Gillerthwaite sits in the Buttermere and Borrowdale area of Cumbria, with room for six guests, ideal for a family or group keen to make the most of the Lake District. A bus stop nearby makes getting around a little easier if you'd rather not rely on the car every day.

There's a good spread of things to do within reach, including Go Ape Whinlatter for a more active outing, and both JB Banks Ironmongers and The Retro Zone for something a bit different. Harrington is the nearest station, should you be arriving by train or fancy a rail-based day trip.
