Living Accommodation
Sunny Bank Mill provides plenty of space for large groups to relax in comfort. It sleeps up to 14 people in 3 double and 4 twin bedrooms all with amazing views (1 double can be converted to a twin if requested).
Communal Area
The impressive entrance hall with parquet floor leads into a large lounge divided into 2 seating areas. Choose to gather round the wood-burning stove (plenty of logs available), snuggle down on the other sofas to watch TV (Freeview HD, Blu-Ray player and a selection of DVDs), or throw open the patio doors and enjoy easy access to the garden. There is also a Sound system with iPod dock, and a Payphone in the hall.
The handmade fitted kitchen has all the facilities, small appliances, utensils, cupboards and worktop space you need for good quality holiday catering and enough crockery, cutlery and glasses to allow for multi-course extended dining. The kitchen has a double electric fan oven, 5-ring gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer with ice maker and separate drinks fridge. The dining-room is open-plan with the kitchen, catches the evening sun and boasts a wide view of the beck, with shrubs and trees beyond. The lovely Victorian oak table seats 14 comfortably and there's a high-chair if required.

There are three double and four spacious twin bedrooms. Each bedroom enjoys breath-taking views, either over the beck, the garden, a sheep field, the copse, the lake (or all five!). Five of the bedrooms feature en-suite or adjacent shower rooms, with a shared shower room on the top floor. As well as heated towel rails and heated mirrors, all shower rooms contain modern walk-in pumped or electric showers – so there will always be hot water for the whole group. The shower room on the first floor is a family bathroom and contains a full bath.
A travel cot is provided and a stair gate is fitted on the top landing.
Amenities
After an invigorating day out on the fells or the lake, the 'wet' entrance from the lane provides the perfect place to recover. Designed with plenty of space for everyone to hang coats and stow muddy boots, the drying room is equipped with warm radiators, modern ventilation, wall-mounted drying racks and a free-standing airer; there is even a place for wetsuits to drip dry overnight in the ‘wet room’. This extra shower room with pumped electric shower guarantees a constant supply of hot water for those who return cold and wet from their adventures outside. There is also a large capacity washing machine and tumble dryer for any wet or dirty clothes, as well as a sink for hand-washing and an iron and ironing board.
A second lounge 'the Snug' on the ground floor has an extra-large wall-mounted TV and provides a great place for a breakaway group to watch a movie or play loud music. There's also an extensive library of books.
