Set around a cobbled courtyard and surrounded by gardens these 4 holiday cottages have been converted from the former farm buildings to provide stylish home from home accommodation in a tranquil setting. Nestled in the Eden Valley and surrounded by rolling countryside there are walks from the door to nearby villages, many with a village pub filled with friendly locals and real ales.

The once working 17th century farm has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners retaining original features that uniquely make up each cottage. The owners eco friendly ethos ensures everything is thought of to reduce their impact upon the environment whilst maintaining the stylish feel of the cottages. Each of the cottages has its own private garden area with outdoor table and chairs to allow al fresco dining and shared use of the main garden with seating subtly placed to enjoy the views or peace and quiet. Guests are invited to use the shared BBQ and laundry room with washer/dryer. The owners provide a warm welcome with some home made treats and flowers picked from the garden on arrival, they are on hand to help you make the most of your holiday and are happy to advise on places to visit, eat and drink.

The cottage is all on the ground floor and was the former dairy, now converted to provide a modern home from home.

With a spacious open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area where comfy seating is positioned around the wood burning stove, stay warm and toasty whilst catching up on the latest Netflix in front of the Smart TV. The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven, gas hob, fridge with small freezer compartment, microwave and dishwasher, rustle up lunch or dinner and gather together at the dining table to catch up on the days adventures. There are 2 en-suite bedrooms, the first has a king size bed and en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has twin zip link beds which can convert to a king size bed (please advise at the time of booking if double bed required) and en-suite shower room.

The cottage has all electric, gas, logs, bed linen and towels included. Cot and highchair available on request. Two medium sized dogs welcome. Private garden with garden furniture.

The cottage is tucked away in a peaceful, rural location just over a mile from Kirkoswald. The village has two popular village inns, The Featherstone Arms and The Crown Inn both promising a warm welcome and a convenience store. The market town of Penrith, known as the gateway to the Lakes, is 10 miles away with a wealth of boutique shops, pubs, restaurants and take aways. Lake Ullswater and the majestic fells are less than a half hours drive. The location is ideal for exploring Cumbria, being only minutes from the motorway Carlisle with castle, cathedral and shopping centre and Hadrian’s Wall are easily reached, as is a day out in Kendal leading onto the southern lakes of Windermere and Coniston. With the Eden Valley being on your doorsteps leisurely walks along the River Eden provide beautiful scenery or explore the quieter country roads by bike taking in the miles of rolling countryside. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy fishing along the river subject to licence, or there are a number of golf courses and pony trekking places close by.
