The Cross Keys village pub is 100 metres away with a further pub, The Brownlow Arms less than a mile away, both serving food. In the village itself, there is a tea-room and local shop.

The hotel is 7 miles from Eppleby and has a fully equipped gym, pool, sauna and steam room. Guests showing The Old Milk House pass also qualify for discounts on food and drink at the hotel.

We're a family with 2 children and a small dog - as a family who place huge value on the available time a holiday provides, we'd like to think we would do everything we can to make your stay enjoyable. We enjoy cycling and walking - the local and wider areas are both renowned for these activities. Whilst the pace of life is certainly a litte slower, there's nevertheless plenty to do and see here for a weekend, 5 day or longer break. We'll help signpost those things you may be most interested in and help you take as much from your stay as possible.
