The Seatoller bus runs all year round and, between April and October, the Honister Rambler offers a circular service that takes in Portinscale, Catbells, Grange, Rosthwaite, Seatoller, Honister Slate Mine, Buttermere, Lorton and Whinlatter Forest. Derwentwater is less than 4 miles north of the village; there are eight jetties where you can hop on and off the boat to explore. Visit Theatre by the Lake to take in a show and, from Crow Park opposite, you can get 360 panoramic views of the mountains along with stunning views down the lake towards the exceptionally beautiful Borrowdale Valley.

Leaving the lounge, go down a step into the hallway and you will find the king size bedroom with the shower room across the hall, with a shower and WC.
