Is Calva Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Calva is not suitable for children as it sleeps only 2 guests in one double bedroom. The first-floor apartment with steep stairs and shared garden space is designed specifically for adult couples.

For Couples
Calva offers couples a peaceful Lake District base with stunning fell views from the spacious double bedroom. The electric fire creates cosy evenings after mountain walks. Vaulted beamed ceilings and contemporary styling provide comfort without unnecessary frills. Walk to Skiddaw from your door or stroll around Bassenthwaite Lake spotting ospreys. The shared garden with patio suits afternoon relaxation. Visit Lakes Distillery for tastings or enjoy real ale at the village pub.
