Accommodation details

Set amongst a picturesque Eden Valley backdrop, this country cottage invites families and friends to make memories together in this eclectic country cottage. Positioned on an undisturbed country road with vibrant nature and greenery all around it, this cottage is a peaceful haven inviting guests to experience a truly serene stay.

There are walks from your doorstep and incredible routes a short drive away, with the North Pennines (5 miles), the Yorkshire Dales (4 miles) and the Lake District (10 miles) all conveniently placed nearby. After tiresome yet rewarding excursions out and about, six guests and their dogs are welcome to come back, rest and recharge in this delightful abode.

A dashing blend of contemporary styling and original farmhouse features are combined in this barn conversion, a haven for any group to escape to. On the ground floor, you'll find handy spaces including the boot room, the separate utility room, the generously proportioned and well-appointed kitchen and a downstairs WC offering everything you may need, along with a lovely double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.

You'll need to move up to the first floor to find the lounge, an ever-appealing space with cushy seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner to curl up by during chillier evenings. Two further bedrooms, another double room and cosy twin served by a family bathroom, lay on this floor. Finally, step outside to find the lovely garden with a patio, lawn and everything you need to experience an al fresco evening.

Despite its rural destination, the property is just 2 miles from the bustling locale of Appleby-in-Westmorland. This Cumbrian town is home to some fine architecture, a selection of country pubs and some pretty spaces to sit by the River Eden which flows through it. Its charming local train station is one stop on the heritage steam train route that travels from Settle to Carlisle.
