A thought from the owners: "We have spent many years cosying up to a roaring fire in the upper lounge in winter or sitting in the sunshine in the conservatory with its magnificent view of Whitbarrow Scar and the Cartmel Fell. Special times are walking through the wood carpeted in blue bells or finishing a barbecue with friend sitting around the fire pit. At Christmas time Burblethwaite Hall looks magical. We have always felt a great sense of security living here because of access over the bridge to the house."
