Bowber Head:  Bed & Breakfast and Campsite.

Our farmhouse has evolved over the last five centuries from a single storey, reed thatched hovel where the family lived alongside the animals, to a ‘Bastle House’ protecting the family from the Border Reevers then extended to a Cumbrian Long House - using old ships beams for the floor and roofs. In the 18th Century, part of the house was 3 storeys high to accommodate itinerant labour for farmwork in the summers. Nowadays it is a 2 storey traditional large farmhouse restored to its past mystique of stone floors, kitchen range and oak beams combined with modern facilities.

Nestling at the foot of Wildboar and the Howgills, surrounded by fields, stone walls and common land grazed by Rough Fell sheep and free roaming ponies.  Feeling remote yet with easy access to the most beautiful parts of Northern England including the Lakes and Dales National Parks.

We create an easy going family atmosphere where you will feel welcome and at home.
