The Neaum Crag Estate enriches its guests' experience with a range of amenities, including access to a swimming pool facility, which operates from March to November.

The historical background of the Neaum Crag Estate adds to its charm. Originally home to Neaum Crag House, which was occupied in the late 1800s by Fleming, a friend of the renowned writer John Ruskin, the estate has evolved significantly over the years. The house was expanded during Fleming's time, and although some original features, such as a panoramic viewing tower, have been lost, the estate retains elements of its past, including mature trees that date back to that era. Following the challenges of the First World War, the estate changed hands several times before being developed into the inviting lodge community it is today.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the various walking paths accessible from the estate, including a public footpath that leads to Skelwith Bridge, where visitors can find a hotel, slate galleries, and Chesters Café. A scenic route alongside the River Brathay leads to Elterwater, while another path provides a more challenging hike up through the estate's larch plantation. The protected woodland is home to diverse wildlife, including red squirrels and roe deer, making it a delightful destination for nature lovers. The lodge is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their furry companions along for the adventure, while maintaining a smoke-free environment for a comfortable stay.
