Gardening at The Towers

About Gardening at The Towers

We are once again running a working holiday concentrating on the continued restoration of the huge garden at Millbeck Towers holiday cottage. Continuing to work to the ten-year plan, we hope to restore the gardens to their former glory for all to enjoy.

About the accommodation

This intriguing property, formerly an eighteenth-century carding mill, has wonderful spacious rooms, most of them enjoying spectacular views of the northern Lakes. It stands in the small hamlet of Millbeck close to Keswick. There is a large rambling garden to the rear with its fenced pond, numerous streams and a large flat open area that is ideal for games. The house allows direct access to the Skiddaw range, much admired by the famous Alfred Wainwright, with its good paths allowing easy navigation and fine views across the Vale of Keswick.

Facilities: garden, open fire/woodburner, washing machine, tumble dryer.

Bedding: all bedding/linen and towels provided.
