CHANGE OF BOOKING SECRETARY
After 37 years, Hugh Taylor has now retired from dealing with High House bookings and has handed over to Maja While. See the contacts page for details.
High House is situated in Seathwaite, at the head of the popular valley of Borrowdale in the English Lake District. It is a converted stone built 16/17C farmhouse in its own grounds, with car access and parking.
It offers a high standard of bunkhouse self catering accommodation for groups, and is considered to be one of the best in the Lakes. As well as walking and climbing clubs, High House is regularly used by outdoor educational groups, schools and corporate groups.
Please note that we only let to groups and do not let individual beds.
Its superb location is one of the many reasons that visiting groups often refer to it as their favourite bunkhouse. Being just off the track to Sty Head and Grains Ghyll, the central fells such as Scafell, Great End, and Great Gable can be ascended without the need to drive the car.
The view below was taken from Base Brown looking down Borrowdale towards Rosthwaite in the distance, with Seathwaite in the foreground and High House in the the centre in the group of trees which nestle under the slopes of Glaramara. The track to Great Gable and the Scafell range via either Sty Head or Esk Hause can be seen leading off to the right, with the Helvellyn range in the far distance.
Early booking is essential due to the popularity of the facility, especially at weekends.
High House is situated just through the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale, Cumbria, GR NY235119 and is labelled on google maps. What 3 words: ///cube.picnic.fixture
