Guest access
There are 2 lanes taking you onto Ewetree Farm (where Old Oak Tree is situated). If you enter the farm via the drive for Ewetree Cottage, it is a simple drive down a couple of lanes to get to Old Oak Tree. These are signposted as "Paradise" and "Old Oak Tree". The bothy is situated in the center of a beautiful 28 acre farm. All guests have access to all the walks, and the beautiful river, which is just 1-2 minute walk from the bothy). The farm has been place of conservation for over 20 years now. Bev alone has transformed this once working farm, into a delightful area of beauty which has young forests, hedgerows, and meadows, tarns, which have encouraged so much wildlife! There are rabbits, hares and hedgehogs on the ground, we have a resident otter living on the river, toads, frogs, newts, and a stunning array of birds that migrate back year after year, with stunning birdsong in every season. We even have a mating pair of buzzards, which are magnificent to spot. The land and the wildlife flourish with different life throughout the seasons. Whichever time of year you choose to visit, you will find beauty everywhere you look. All 28 acres is your's to explore, as well as the surrounding walks and treks of the Duddon Valley.

Neighborhood highlights

Ulpha is around 5 miles from the beautiful village of Broughton in Furness. From Broughton, your travel up the magnificent Cumbrian Fell to the Duddon valley. Ewetree Farm and Old Oak Tree are set in an extremely remote part of the Lake District. With the rural setting, the tranquility is divine. There are so many tracks and walks for you to enjoy, in the beautiful, breathtaking Duddon Valley, which is stunning whichever season you decide to visit.
Though it is rural, you don't need a specialist vehicle. The road up the fell is narrow, but there are plenty of passing places. The road is fit for all family vehicles. Cyclists are also drawn to the area.

My work: I work full time on my 28 acre farm, devoting my time to conservation on the "farm". I look after the growth of eco-systems for wildlife, such as more trees, ponds, hedgerows and fields.
I live in a small house at the centre of the farm. I am always on hand if you need anything at all; should that be directions, information about the valley and surrounding area, a top up of complimentary wood and fuel for the fire. I can happily offer any support you may need during - or before - your stay. I am always eager to help, and make your stay a comfortable and unforgettable one. I spend most of my time working on the farm, though always make time for my guests and show you a taste of an eco life, should you take an interest. It's an incredibly important part of what I do on the farm. Every care has been taken to make the 28 acres surrounding you into a beautiful area full of wildlife, interesting eco systems, and my most personally important project of planting and protecting trees. I will generally be on hand, focusing on conservation, should you need anything at all . I am a friendly and approachable person who loves to share the knowledge I have gained over a lifetime of living in the beautiful and peaceful Cumbrian fells. I will always make sure you have what you need with regards to supplies of fuel, though I am no way intrusive; I just want you to enjoy the clean, fresh air, the beautiful Ewetree "Farm", and the untouched beauty of the hills surrounding Ewetree cottage. Ewetree Cottage is extremely rural, so you will be very unlikely undisturbed by neighbouring guests. Peace and relaxation is a given should you choose to holiday at Ewetree Cottage. Though when/if you require it, I am your friendly guide should you need assistance with anything. Just look for nature loving Bev. I will be around should you require a friendly, happy to help host.
