The
Garrigill Estate lodge was used for grouse shooting on
Garrigill Moor in Cumbria in 1854, but had reverted to
a farmhouse when the present owner bought the moor.
Visiting parties were anxious to stay in a lodge and in 2003 it
was completed with 8 bedrooms all with en-suite baths or showers.
There is a gun room, 2 drying rooms, satellite television, kennels
and an extensive wine cellar. The lodge is fully staffed with a
chef, butler and maids. Other shooting parties in the vicinity
also catered for.
There is a renowned wild pheasant, partridge, duck, snipe and
woodcock shoot, but there are many activities for non shooting
parties. As well as sightseeing and walking in this magical centre
of "Britain's Last Wilderness" and touring the Lakes
and Borders, there is a golf course within ten minutes and fishing
in the South Tyne for Salmon and Seatrout.
Dogs welcomed.
