Travelled
Saturday 15 September 2001
We stayed at
Seatoller which is ideally
situated for exploring the fells in the surrounding locality

Introduction |
|
The accommodation is situated directly on the approach to Honister Pass and was
considerably noisier than anticipated for a number of reasons. We had
forgotten that the quarry had been recently re-opened and that heavy vehicles
would be using the road in the early hours of the morning. Furthermore,
Seatoller Farm is a working farm and the farmer had kindly kennelled at least 2
of his 6 working dogs just a few feet away from our accommodation, and, in particular, the
main bedroom; the dogs were a near constant source of annoyance intermittently
barking from early morning until late into the night.
Furthermore, there is no
outside area to sit or to allow young
children to play in safety.
This is not the place
to stay for peace and quiet but is well equipped and would be a joy to stay in
if sited in better surrounding; we will not be returning. |
