High Borrans Lodges

High in the Lakeland Fells on a working hill farm are two beautifully situated timber
lodges, both luxuriously appointed to provide the perfect self-catering get-away
for couples seeking peace and quiet amid stunning Lake District scenery.
High Borrans is a tiny settlement well off the beaten track in the fells between
Troutbeck and Kentmere, very close to Windermere, and the cosy timber lodges
provide the perfect holiday accommodation for nature lovers and those romantic
breaks away from it all.In a quiet rural location

OPEN ALL YEAR

We have two lodges at the High Borrans site, named 'Rydal' and 'Far Sawrey'.
They are identically finished and equipped.

High Borrans Lodges are only a very short drive from the main access road
into the Lake District (A591). Windermere, with all its restaurants, shops and
other amenities, is barely 10 minutes’ drive away, and the M6 motorway
can be easily reached within 20 minutes.

High Borrans Lodges are Nordic-style timber lodges built to the highest
specification to provide tasteful and romantic self-catering accommodation
for couples, with all the conveniences that today’s discerning holidaymakers
are seeking.

There is one bedroom with a high-quality contemporary style kingsize bed, and
a large walk-in wardrobe. The luxuriously appointed bathroom comprises a
big walk-in shower, WC , “his and hers” washbasins and towel warmer.

The lounge and bedroom are carpeted in high-quality wool mix carpets; all
other areas have slate-effect cushioned vinyl flooring. The soft furnishings are
in complementary heathery colours. Television reception is via FreeSat;
Mobile phone reception varies, depending on your provider.

All bed linen and towels for your stay are of the highest quality, and are
included in the rental price. Washing, drying and ironing facilities are provided
in a separate, adjacent building with a key lock facility.

The kitchen is very well appointed with electric oven and gas hob, toaster, microwave,
dishwasher and fridge-freezer, in addition to the all the usual equipment

High Borrans Farm

High Borrans Farm is a 1000 acre working hill farm, with a flock of some 1200
Swaledale ewes and about 25 beef suckler cows. The land rises to about
1300 feet on heather-clad fell tops, which were formerly used for grouse shooting.
The farm is nowadays the most wonderful environment for nature lovers.

The farmland is an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) and parts are also
designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Out on the fells you
may glimpse red and roe deer, and closer to the farm, we have tawny and barn owls,
and many varieties of bats living in the old barns.

High Borrans is farmed by the Hodgsons, who also farm at Rydal and Hartsop Hall.
Your hosts at the farm are Cathy and Jonathan Hodgson.
