Grovewood house is situated in the western lakes in the small rural village of Sandwith which lies midway between the coastal village of St.Bees & the harbour town of Whitehaven, on the western coast of Cumbria.  Perfect for those starting/ finishing Wainwrights coast to coast path (beginning in St.Bees) or the C2C cycle route (beginning in Whitehaven).  For those who are staying with us for either these purposes we will be offering free transport to the start of either route. Sandwith is small & very peaceful we have a village pub & there are many walks from our doorstep including the dramatic sandstone cliffs of St.Bees head.  St.Bees itself is a few minutes drive away offering two pubs a post office &  a restaurant.  Whitehaven is also a short drive away & has a picturesque harbor with a wealth of shops, supermarkets pubs & restaurants. On our doorstep of course is the beautiful lake district including Ennerdale, Loweswater & Wasdale "Britains favorite view". but to mention  a few.
