UK Holiday Accommodation. Mosscrag was built in 1918. It has been a private home as well as providing bed and
breakfast for many years. Now a family run guest house based in beautiful Glenridding in the heart of the English Lake District, Mosscrag makes an ideal base for exploring the Lakes. Three hundred yards away is Lake Ullswater, where you can fish, sail, canoe or
windsurf or sail to Howtown and walk the seven miles back to Glenridding which is supposed to be the best lake walk in the district; or sail to
Pooley Bridge, have
lunch and sail back on a later boat. The whole area is ideal for the enthusiastic walker, as the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge discovered, and we are well positioned for those who want to do the coast to coast walk. The views from outside Moss Crag. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze By William Wordswoth.
