Accommodation details

Brimming with character and charm, this rustic yet homely bolthole nestled in Appley-in-Westmorland is the ultimate romantic retreat perfect for couples looking for an escape to the country. Venture into the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales before returning to unwind at this warm and welcoming bolthole. Boasting a wood burner-effect gas fire and exposed ceiling beams, the quaint lounge sets the scene for a sumptuously cosy evening whilst the vibrant conservatory promises enchanting scenery at the end of a busy day.

Reminiscent of a traditional country cottage, the characterful kitchen/diner provides everything you need to get creative with your local produce, inspired by charming original features including beautiful ceiling beams. Accessed via a small flight of stairs from the lounge, the homely double bedroom, with lovely ceiling beams, ensures a well-deserved rest before kick-starting your next day with a refreshing shower in the en-suite bathroom.

On a fine evening, fire up the BBQ and put up the parasol to dine alfresco in the enclosed patio garden. Lying in the loop of the majestic River Eden, the historic town of Appley-in-Westmorland is a haven for keen outdoor explorers, as it is the starting point of a myriad of scenic walking trails carving through the countryside towards the fringes of the Western Dales extension of the Yorkshire Dales National Park (2.5 miles).

Culture vultures can dive into hundreds of years of local history at Appleby Castle, half a mile away, whilst a spot of retail therapy and an array of fantastic restaurants can be enjoyed at Penrith, 15 miles away. Lace up your hiking boots to walk the valley of High Cup Nick (6 miles) or conquer the summit of Cross Fell (12 miles), the highest mountain in the Pennine Hills.
