Escape to Hallin Bank, a 17th-century farmhouse set in 11 acres of private land at the end of a secluded road. Perched on the southern slopes of Hallin Fell, it boasts breathtaking views over Martindale Valley and towards Lake Ullswater. This characterful farmhouse, built in the 1600s, offers rustic charm with its wonky walls, antique furniture, and a deep connection to nature. Inside, you’ll find a cosy dining room with a wood-burning stove, a well-equipped kitchen, and a living room with another stove. The house sleeps six across a king (convertible to twins), a double, and a twin room. A short walk leads to the lake, with private river access on-site. Peace, beauty, and adventure await.
Martindale is a hidden gem, a stunning and secluded valley overlooking Ullswater. Its tranquil setting offers a Yes ‘get away from it all’ experience, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The area is rich in unique wildlife, including red deer, and is a paradise for walkers, with trails leading up to Hallin Fell, Beda Fell, and High Street, offering breathtaking views over the falls and lakes.
For those who love the water, Ullswater is just a short walk away, ideal for wild swimming, kayaking, or taking a scenic cruise on the Ullswater Steamer. Nearby, the Aira Force waterfall provides a beautiful woodland walk with stunning cascades. Adventurers can enjoy paddleboarding, sailing, and rock climbing, while cyclists can explore scenic lanes and bridleways. History lovers will appreciate Dalemain Mansion, a historic house with beautiful gardens, or Lowther Castle, with its dramatic ruins and expansive grounds.
The charming villages of Pooley Bridge, Patterdale, and Glenridding offer cosy pubs, local shops, and cafés. In every season, Martindale and the Ullswater Valley offer something special, whether it’s the golden autumn fells, spring bluebells, or the crisp, snowy peaks of winter. Whether you seek adventure or want to soak up the tranquillity, this unspoiled corner of the Lake District has it all. Occasionally, the owner or a tradesperson may work on the property—chopping wood, planting trees, strimming, or repairing walls—but will ensure minimal disruption.

Spent five nights at Hallinbank Bank Farmhouse, sadly in not good weather. It’s very isolated with no phone signal, and a WiFi system that works well in some rooms, and not at all in others. But you soon get used to that and adapt accordingly! Views are beautiful (when the clouds aren’t down over the hills). The farmhouse is a typical old family home, with drawers and cupboards full of interesting ’stuff’, thousands of books and loads of board games and puzzles.

Absolutely stunning location in a beautiful and relatively quiet part of the Lake District. Cottage was full of character with a lovely terraced garden. Only 15 minutes drive from Pooley Bridge but the cottage’s remote location provides a tranquil setting for a peaceful / relaxing holiday. We were lucky with the weather and walked down to the cove / beach at Sandwick for a swim in Ullswater, which our dog absolutely loved. Added bonus, that we were able to arrange a shopping delivery to such a remote location. No hesitation in recommending and would love to return sometime soon.

Beautiful much loved cottage with a stunning back drop of lakes surrounding it. Good sized bedrooms, comfortable beds. Clean to good standard. Excellent choice of reading material for both children and adults alike. The board games cupboard had something for everyone. Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and baking to. The gardens were beautifully kept with a mixture of mowed and wild areas. Easy walking (1.1miles) distance to the Howtown to the Ullswater ferry port to access Poolley bridge and Glenridding.Numerous walking routes accessible from your door so no need to drive if prefer not to. WiFi was available but only in a few areas of the cottage but even that was a bit hit and miss. We loved having a break from our devices for the time we were there. Would recommend to family and friend’s.
