"Thank you for accommodating us so well at Barrow House. The hostel is amazing and we had an absolutely fabulous time. Thanks to all the fantastic staff there. I certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending you as a venue."

Themes
If you are interested in one or more of these themes then please get in touch by emailing reception@derwentwater.org or ringing 017687 77246.
Each theme incorporates many different skills and subject areas. The activities are aimed at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum in England, but they can be adapted for other key stages and educational programmes. We can also tailor the activities to meet your learning objectives, differentiation needs, and time constraints.
The recommended places to visit are almost all within walking distance or a 30 minute drive of the hostel.
