Running

The National Trust owns and maintains a series of these bothy style buildings around the country. Unlike a traditional mountain bothy, they are available for private hire through the NT holidays website. This one sleeps six on wooden sleeping platforms. There is a log burner but nothing else so it's a bit like camping with walls. The location on the southern bank of Loweswater is a great adventure base. The lakeside trail is a a nice easy run and Mellbreak Fell is nearby.
