Tarn Foot Cottage, Duddon Valley, Lake District - A rural retreat set deep within the spectacular D

A truly rural retreat which is set deep within the spectacular Duddon Valley on a working Herdwick sheep farm, perfect for those who love nature & the great outdoors but who value comfort and modern conveniences.

Dating back to the 1700s, this comfortable well equipped detached stone built cottage has been completely renovated & refurbished by The National Trust and its managers, who live nearby.
