The house at Brockhole has great potential. It is situated on the main road between the tourist honeypots of Windermere and Ambleside, has lakeside access including a new jetty, ample parking and is set in an amazingly beautiful area with views of the hills.
We have been given approval by members of the Authority to go out to tender for a suitable partner to lease out the whole house as a hostel operation. We will also be seeking a catering operator to run the catering on site.
We have conducted a tender process to find the right partners for leasing the house. We are considering the options resulting from that tender. We should know more about the final outcome by April 2013.
The Lake District National Park Authority looks after this unique corner of England, encouraging people to enjoy and understand its beauty and helping those who live and work here. Our staff include rangers and field workers, advisers at our visitor centres, planners, ecologists and event organisers.
