LOCAL SERVICES

A wide range of provisions (bread, frozen foods, fresh milk,  groceries, etc) are available in the Village Stores open daily throughout the year apart from Christmas and Boxing Day. The store also supplies newspapers, some outdoor wear and equipment and carries an offsales licence.

The Scafell Hotel has a comfortable walkers bar, which provides hot and cold food and drinks throughout the day and evening.

A regular bus service (every half hour in summer) operates to Keswick 6 miles away, stopping opposite Rose Cottage. During the summer months the bus is “open topped” and is a great way to see the lake and Borrowdale Valley.
