Wallabarrow (High Wallabarrow Farm self-catering cottage, camping barn and bunkhouse) (opens in new tab)
about 1.5 km from the start, in a straight line
It answers the two questions that decide a Dunnerdale weekend for a family, in the property's own words: where the children sleep (a king-plus-single family room with a stair gate offered, a single bedroom downstairs and a full-size futon in the living room) and whether the dog can come (yes, with the livestock it will meet listed by name). It lends a 3-wheeler jogger and a macpac carrier, so a toddler need not be carried. It is also the only property in this cluster whose owner's own phone, email and postal address are on the page rather than a booking agency's, and at 1.51 km it is the nearest candidate in the radius with any fetchable page at all.
A National Trust-owned hill farm at the end of a no-through road below the 1,000ft Wallabarrow Crag, which sells guests its own free-range eggs and sometimes Herdwick lamb and Galloway beef.
- Dogs “Well behaved dogs are welcome and must always be under control as they are likely to encounter sheep, cows, horses, chickens, rabbits, working dogs and young children on a daily basis!”
- Family rooms “two bedrooms, a family room upstairs with a king size bed and a single bed (stair gate available) and a single bedroom downstairs with a four foot (small double) bed”
- Children “For 'wee uns' we have a 3-wheeler jogger and a macpac carrier which visitors are welcome to borrow.”
