Hartsop
is situated amongst some of the highest mountains in the Lake
District and as such is almost guaranteed snow in the winter
months. After a day in the ice and snow you can batten down
the hatches and sit by the cosy fire in Weavers Cottage.

Tips:
If travelling from
the south stop at Prizet BP Petrol Station on the A590 of the
jct 36 and buy your fuel for the fire to make sure you are cosy
as soon as you arrive.
If travelling
from the North (and during your stay) get your fuel from Glenridding
petrol station. Don't forget your firelighters.
If
you find yourself short of warm outdoor clothing there is
an excellent outdoor shop in Glenridding
If you are staying
for Christmas you can order your turkey from Booths in Windermere
in advance (tel. 015394 46114)
We
have had a brilliant Christmas here. Thanks or the festive decorations,
a lovely surprise. We have had some dramatic weather to go with
the dramatic scenery - sun, rain, gales, snow, frost!
