We're the Holloways - Dud & Hayley to you!

Hayley is originally from the North East and has been climbing the hills of the Lake District for over 50 years.  She met Dud (let's just say he's a Peaky Blinder...) and introduced him to the Fells and the rest is history!

We married in the Lake District in 2003 and bought our first Holiday Home in the area in 2008.  Then, after many years of dreaming about living here permanently we eventually upped sticks, moved to the area and settled in to what we always knew was our spiritual home.

After spending a few years in the South Lakes running another holiday cottage, we fell upon this beautiful property in the North Lakes and the new adventure began!

We love to host friends and family in our home, watching as some of them discover the magic of the lakes and mountains for the first time.   As well as running the cottage we also work in and around the area in tourism and hospitality (you'll spot Dud looking after guests at our local, the Royal Oak) and try and give as much back in being stewards of the National Park as we can.

As you can see we're also a big fan of all things animal and our Border Collies, Reg & Ren, love to welcome new guests and try and convince them to throw sticks for them!   

Living right next door to the cottage, we're on hand as much as you need us to make your stay a lovely one and to provide advice on planning your great days out - so don't hesitate to get in touch if we can be of any help.

See you on the fells soon
