What is the best area to stay in Hartsop?
The best area to stay in Hartsop is within the village itself, or in the immediate vicinity along the valley floor.Hartsop is a small, quiet village located in the heart of the Ullswater valley in the Lake District National Park. It's characterised by traditional stone cottages and farm buildings, surrounded by fells on all sides.
