A & S Brocklebeck - April 2010

Family

Brackenrigg is the perfect venue for a family holiday - extensive gardens and an acre of woodland. You'll find the woodland is home to an abundance of wildlife (badgers, red squirrels, deer, owls, buzzards), & flowers. Explore the network of pathways and picnic spots. There's a large ball-play paddock and, in the Spring, there may be pet lambs to feed. And red squirrels to watch playing in the grounds. Hop over the stile, to the fell behind: a natural adventure playground of fells, crags, rocks, paths, streams, waterfalls and a tarn. There are lots of easy and more challanging walks from the door .

You can borrow an extensive range of guide-books and maps, plus our own local knowledge, to help you get the best out of your stay in this most beautiful corner of the world. Timetables & contacts for the Leisure Pool, Derwentwater launch, bike hire, watersports & horse-riding are available.

To help with the kids there is free use of Children's Toybox, with a selection of games, such as Duplo, farm animals, Marble Run, dolls & dressing up stuff. There's also an Outdoor Games Box - typically containing Frisbees, boule, a cricket set, football & football goal.

For when they tire, all cottages have TV & DVD. Free wi-fi, and iPOD docs, High Rigg also has a cd player

And for very little ones.. you can hire cot and high-chair, please call to book in advance.
