Filled to the brim with characterful original features, a stay in this charming 17th-century property offers you the chance to step back in time and enjoy time well spent with your nearest and dearest. With sprawling gardens for children to explore and far-reaching mountain views that will delight you as you enjoy your morning coffee, this farmhouse-style accommodation is simply wonderful. Acting as the perfect base for ten guests and four dogs to explore the Eskdale Valley and beyond, this property lends itself to any group of extended family or friends to enjoy an adventure-packed week spent together. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just finding time for a much sought-after reunion, this stunning choice of accommodation promises an unrivalled stay for the holiday of a lifetime.

Whilst the traditional style of this holiday home has been maintained with period furnishings and stunning original artworks, you’ll be pleased to find the two-storey cottage has been lovingly updated with all the mod-cons a family may require. Despite stone flagged flooring and wooden beams, the kitchen is one space that’s been updated for use in the 21st century. An authentic Aga is the centrepiece of this space, with a dishwasher and an American-style fridge/freezer in the adjacent utility room providing a helping hand for ensuring delicious meals are served and effortlessly cleared away. There are both two lounges and two snugs right here on the ground floor, perfect for when younger guests wish to break away and unwind together. There’s even a second kitchen with a microwave and smoothie maker which teenage guests may wish to call their own. Head on upstairs to discover five bedrooms where a quality night’s sleep can be enjoyed. Completing the property is a generous allowance of outdoor space including lawns, patio, woodland and even a pond. Spend magical summer evenings dining alfresco whilst children and pets play in your midst.
