Dear Guest
We have taken the very difficult but necessary decision to close our business for the foreseeable future. We need to do our part in protecting the safety of the vulnerable and essential workers in our local area and we feel that this is best served by not allowing guests to visit from other parts of the country. Cumbria has a small population compared to other regions and we need to ensure our own local hospitals can support local people in these difficult times.
We will continue to take bookings for dates later in the year and on into 2021, but will take a pragmatic approach to refunding deposits and payments depending on government advice and the situation prevailing at the time.
If you have a booking with us for later in the year and have any concerns at all, please do feel free to get in touch by phone or email and we will be happy to discuss your specific booking.
We hope we can welcome you back in the not too distant future. Hopefully more happy times are ahead.
Best Wishes
Simon and Carole
Simon & Carole. Hope you and the family are safe and well. Great decision and we look forward to coming back when things return back to normal.
Good call guys 👍 Just look at it as a pause to be started again when you’re allowed to press Go ? XX
All good things are worth waiting for. Stay safe guys 🤗
Well done for doing the right thing Carole and Simon. X
Beautiful spring morning in Dufton Ghyll today. Always a good start to the day walking in these woods. Bluebells still a few weeks away yet. Didn't see any reds today but they rarely come out when I have the camera! Plus my favourite memorial placed by the hard working @woodlandtrust
