Historic Appleby enjoys a reputation as one of the prettiest market towns. Sitting alongside the River Eden, it offers something for everyone – history buffs will enjoy the architecture evident in the town’s buildings, and Appleby Castle, open for visits, outside theatre events, comedy nights and outdoor cinema events throughout the year. Shops, cafés and restaurants offer local crafts alongside local cheeses! Look out for High Cross on Boroughgate, which is the site of the original cheese market. For train enthusiasts, or those looking to enjoy a journey through the stunning surrounding areas, Appleby is on the Settle to Carlisle scenic railway line. Steam trains run weekly through the summer months and the Flying Scotsman passes through on the line from time to time – a sight to behold.
Besides the immediate area, the North Pennines and Alston are just minutes from the cottage.

The Yorkshire Dales and High Force in Teesdale are also a short drive away. The Northern Lake District including Ullswater and the villages dotting the lake shores, are well worth a visit and just half an hour’s drive away, with popular market towns of Keswick and Penrith offering something for everyone and a fabulous mix of retailers, cafés, traditional inns and international restaurants.

We used Christopher Cottage as a 2 day pit stop on the way from North West Scotland to Devon. Within 5 minutes of arrival, we wished we had booked for longer. Extremely comfortable, deceptively spacious and beautifully furnished. A real treat on our way home. A big thank you to the owners for providing this well thought out little gem.

The cottage lived upto and excelled our expectations, it had everything one needed for a home from home. Peacefully quiet yet only a stones throw away from a main connecting road that took you into the heart of the Yorkshire dales/moors and the other way to the lakes and Scotland.It is an extremely well appointed cottage, upto date, immaculately maintained and clean. Would have no hesitation to recommend to anyone!
