Herdwicks Holiday Home, Steel Green, Millom, Cumbria, LA18 4LG

The current owner?s acquired the property in 2014 and undertook a two year back to brick refurbishment. From re-opening in 2016, the business operated as a very popular bar and bistro, with letting rooms and owner?s accommodation, before changing use in 2022 to become a sleep 14 holiday let.
