A Last Grab At Summer

We still have some dates available for booking Parkamoor so do contact us if you are interested in staying in this fantastic cottage. 

Parkamoor is a remote and islotated off-grid farmhouse that is managed by Grizedale Arts as residential project space and retreat for artists and other small groups. It is located 200m above the east shore of Coniston Water and 2km to the south of its 'sister' farm Lawson Park, the Grizedale Arts HQ.

This picturesque, 16th grade II listed house was recently restored as a collaboration with its owners, the National Trust to provide a unique resource; to accommodate artists, writers and creative collectives in need of the traditional facilities of the idealised artist retreat - tranquility and seclusion. The house sleeps seven in three bedrooms.

Parkamoor has no mains services and is only accessible by foot. Water is pumped from the well, with cooking and water heating on the wood fired range. There is no bathroom and the composting toilet is to be found in the outside privy. This is eco-living 1820 style! 

Let's Talk About Meese, Baby

We're excited to launch a second film produced here at Lawson Park - discussion by German curator Robert Eikmeyer, on the work of artist Jonathan Meese with Alistair Hudson, Charlie Gere and John Byrne.
With a bit of Hitler thrown in, too.
