Holiday accommodation in Newbiggin-on-Lune, Cumbria

Accommodation details

With the Howgill Fells offering a dramatic backdrop and the River Lune flowing past just metres away, this cottage is a true countryside retreat in rural Cumbria. Situated on a non-working farm with neighbouring properties and farmyard animals peacefully grazing close by, you’re invited to enjoy a slower pace of life when staying in this Yorkshire Dales destination.

Walking, hiking and sightseeing are always assured for four guests who stay here, with the splendour of the Dales on your doorstep and further appeals to be found in the Lake District (14.5 miles) and the North Pennines National Landscape (12 miles). For hikers with an energetic pet in tow, the property is also dog friendly. A traditional country aesthetic is to be found in this single-storey property, where exposed stonework and original beams add to its provincial charm.

Access the property step-free via the ramp and make yourself comfortable inside. The lounge is the place to be with cushy seating, a wood burner-effect electric fire and a TV/DVD player. An open archway leads through into the kitchen/diner, creating a dynamic space for social evenings whilst meals are prepared.

Two bedrooms, a double and a twin, share a shower room along the hallway. Find two outdoor spaces to be enjoyed throughout your stay, a private terrace and a larger shared garden with a pretty lawn, a summerhouse and a firepit. Having admired them from your doorstep, hike the Howgill Fells to experience almighty views and dramatic scenes.

A circular route through the fells starts and ends in nearby Sedbergh (13 miles), a relaxing town with quaint cafes and hearty pubs to frequent before or after a hike. Another pretty town is located across the hilltops at Kirkby Stephen (7 miles), again offering plenty of places for refreshments and shops to mosey around.

Follow a route out of town via the banks of the River Eden for an effortless way to admire the splendid Eden Valley scenery.
