Water-powered corn mill, with attached grain dryer and water supply mechanism and launder. Late C18 or earlier, remodelled and enlarged C19, restored as a museum in 1975. Rubble stone, slobbered, with a slate roof laid to diminishing courses. PLAN: L-shaped complex with main mill range aligned parallel to the River Bela, and ancillary range at right angles to the north-west. EXTERIOR: River frontage to south-east with dressed stone plinth and semi circular arch-headed double doorway to lower level. 3 multi-pane upper floor windows with flat-arched heads. Wide south-east gable with timber launder leading from sluice gates with rack and pinion mechanisms. Narrow extension to north-west incorporates corn drying kiln with roof louvre. Single bay north-east elevation with a C20 window frame to each floor and a board door. INTERIOR: The restoration of the mill interior was completed in 1975, and contains a Lowder stone frame on the stone floor and complete associated machinery, driven by a 14ft overshot water wheel. Line shafting in the attic powers the sack hoist which raises grain to the highest part of the building, to be delivered by gravity onto the 4 pairs of millstones below. The roof structure is supported on trusses with curved knee braces to the principles. HISTORY: The mill site is thought to have had medieval origins, rights to erect and run a corn mill having been granted to the Canons of Coningshead in 1220. The present mill operated until 1955. A water-powered corn mill on a mill site established in 1220 and operated until 1955, with a complete and working interior, including a rare survival of a Lowder frame.

"Lovely stay nice property very clean and quiet area would return "

"Lovely Lodge in a great location. Great base for exploring surrounding area, dog friendly, nice pub on site with obliging staff,"

"You really get what you paid for. The location is just 10-15 mins drive away from bowness of Windermere so it’s really a good location. We were able to have a good time and rest as there was less noise as the environment was very peaceful. And to add up, the pod was so aesthetic yet modern. Would highly recommend!"

"1,Lake side is a nice cosy lodge which is well equipped with everything you need, it is near to the lake & has a hot tub which is very useful when you’ve been out walking."

"We had an amazing week at Ullswater Cabin. The cabin itself was perfect for a week for a family of 4 with children aged 7 and 10. They loved the table tennis and pool facilities. The location of the cabin is great both on the site itself and within the lakes. We didn’t need to drive for more than 20 minutes to go anywhere (we could have if we wanted to but didn’t need to) and fitted so much into one week. Would definitely recommend. "

"Me and the family absolutely loved this place. Will be booking again"

"what a lovely cabin, comfy beds and comfy couch after a day of exploring, simply perfect, hot tub added bonus, lovely little gem,"

"Couldn’t do enough for you and it was all decorated for Christmas with little welcome pack, will be back again! "

"Great week, lovely accommodation, very clean and well equipped. Good location. We’d definitely return."

"Beautiful location. Lovely lodge with everything we needed. Really enjoyed our stay."

"We have stayed in Windermere quite a few time but I must say this is one of the favourite places clean quiet and lovely scenery"

"Fast friendly check in All staff Warm and welcoming Outside area lovely taking in the views Food was excellent Room upgrade with lake view Lovely quiet break … will definitely return "

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely hotel in a great location. My room was gorgeous and had the best nights sleep I’ve had in years, as the room is sound proofed. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Just a few things to be aware of. This hotel is quite expensive to book, and it’s a little cheeky they charge an Additional cost for parking, £25 for the night. It does not have aircon so is quite warm. The food and drink are overpriced. (Recommend going elsewhere) However, it is a lovely hotel and you can’t beat the location "
