“Bank Ground Farm struck me as a place where the charm of the Lake District truly comes alive, especially for those keen to delve into the world of Arthur Ransome. The farm's lakeside setting offers not just views but direct access to Coniston Water, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. I think the combination of a working farm, home-cooked meals, and that stunning location makes it a worthwhile escape.”
