Ideal for countryside or coast

Tucked in at the foot of Black Combe Fell, this traditional and historic 17th century Lakeland country house was once the Manor of Whitbeck, and now provides spacious, family holiday accommodation, with a warm and homely atmosphere. Whether relaxing in front of an open fire in the lounge after a hard days walk, or lending a hand in the ever bustling warm and spacious kitchen, Hillcrest provides a popular retreat for all groups. The large enclosed gardens are a sanctuary for those wanting to roam and explore the nooks and crannies of this mature and colourful retreat.
