Protecting Your Business, Protecting Your Future.
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Holmeshead Farm is a traditional hill farm of great character, offering a warm and welcoming B&B experience near Skelwith Bridge. Our picturesque location, just above the tiny hamlet of Skelwith Fold, is isolated, peaceful, and quiet, yet only a 10-minute drive from the bustling centre of Ambleside, one of Lakeland's major tourist hubs.
A Traditional Lake District Farm
Our farm, with its 17th-century farmhouse, is a place where you can unwind and rejuvenate in a beautiful, unspoiled setting. The farm rears sheep, and our friendly farm dogs will greet you warmly. Take a stroll around the undulating lawns, and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Our bed and breakfast is renowned for its comfort and character. All our rooms are south-facing, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
