About this property

Kirkby Stephen 4 miles. Boasting an elevated position in a beautiful location, with superb vistas of the Pennines and amenities close by in the town of Kirkby Stephen, is Apple Tree Cottage. Set on a working farm, next to the owner's caravan park, this stunning accommodation is accessed via an external staircase, perfect for families, couples and friends. The attention to detail will be evident from the moment you step through the front door, with bright, uplifting colour schemes, vaulted ceiling and quirky fixtures to add to the character. Cold wintry evenings will welcome the warmth from the woodburner set in one corner of the room, where you can curl up on the armchair with a good book. There is also a glass door framing a patchwork of fields, which opens up to a Juliet-style balcony. The kitchen is fully fitted in a stylish fashion with a lovely breakfast island and dining for four people, ideal for those family meals after a day exploring the local area. Fresh, crisp mornings will have you stepping out onto the veranda with your morning coffee to take in the picturesque views. Downstairs is where you will find the bedrooms and shower rooms, as well as a handy utility room housing laundry facilities. The master bedroom even has its own en-suite Jack-and-Jill shower room. On return form a long walk through luscious countryside, enjoy a warm soak in the hot tub and later sit out on the patio with a refreshing drink in hand, soaking up the country atmosphere. Nearby is the market town of Kirkby Stephen, full of amenities to replenish your cupboards, grab some lunch at one of the cafés or enjoy a drink at the pub. It is a pretty town with cobbled streets, quaint corners and a picnic area where “Frank’s Bridge” crosses the River Eden. There is a plethora of waling and cycling, the settle-Carlisle railway line and many more attractions waiting to be discovered. Set in the heart of the Eden Valley, with the lakes, fells and lush dales nearby, this makes a wonderful base for your next family holiday.

Kirkby Stephen lies at the foot of the Howgill Fells in the upper Eden Valley, with a traditional market place, shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs for every taste and budget. You can enjoy a picnic by “Frank’s Bridge”, which crosses the River Eden, while just a mile from the town, the old railway station connects to the Settle-Carlisle Railway line, for a family day out. There are many walks and cycle routes to try with the whole of the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales easily reached.

    Comfortable and clean, plenty of space, very comfy beds. The hot tub was lovely in the evenings. Had everything we needed, great views into the countryside. Perfect base to visit Windermere, Penrith, Kendal, Kirby Stephen, Keswick. We had beautiful weather and had a lovely time. The farm shops around this area are great! Would recommend this cottage which is on a farm. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!!

    Everything we needed & more. The hot tub was so inviting after a days walking. Beds comfy, good quality duvet. Really enjoyed our stay here, we were sad to leave.

  • Natalie

    The owners have put a lot of thought into providing a home from home. With every need catered for. It is part of a static caravan park, and as mentioned a working farm. But don’t let that stop you from staying at this 5* property. Around a 10min drive to the nearest shops.
