    Ideal for a relaxing break.

    Simon and Diane were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to help with suggestions for good local pubs and places to visit. We loved our stay, just wish it had been longer.

  • Robert

    Near enough to Kirkby Stephen for all amenities. Good location/base for walks in the area
