There is no "daily" Bus service directly from Millhouse, only once a week to Penrith on a Tuesday. There is how-ever a daily bus service through the summer months, (Saturdays only in winter) between Carlisle and Keswick, which calls at Caldbeck and Hesket-New-Market.

TV reception is excellent.     However, it is worth noting that our area is one of the first TV areas in the country to switch totally to" digital".     The analoge transmitter is now switched off.   It is important  that if you are booked to stay with us, "please ensure that you bring a digital equipped TV".  

For those who bring a Lap Top,  we are currently installing a WI-FI Hotspot facility which we hope to have in action very soon.

BBC Radio Cumbria   95.6 FM

CFM             96.4 FM   &    102.2 FM

Vodaphone and T. Mobile provide the best service on the site. Other networks are not so good in the immediate area.  There is how-ever, a pay-phone 200 yards away  (next to the village hall).

All the Electric Hookups have a rating of 10amps, which is 2.5kw.     Used with respect, 10amps  should serve you well with the most of the lighter needs of the modern Caravan or Motor Home. (Lighting, Television, integral Battery Charger and low wattage equipment).   However, we do recommend that to avoid any unnecessary tripping of the local mcb,             for space heating, water heating, boiling the kettle,   you lean more to your Gas equipment.
