Appleby has many traditional shops and tea rooms, and sits on the historic Settle-Carlisle line. The surrounding area is scattered with beautiful villages, including Ravenstonedale and Crosby Ravensworth, where you can find fabulous pubs located in beautiful English countryside. A visit over to Pooley Bridge, on the shores of Ullswater, is a must, where you can board the Ullswater Steamer and cruise gently down the lake, framed by the enchanting mountains and streams tumbling down the fells. This welcoming cottage makes an ideal base for exploring Cumbria, with its forever changing scenery, at any time of the year!
The historic town of Appleby, set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley, is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence.

Owner was very helpful and communicative after initial issues with the internet connection. The cottage is very homey and well-kitted out and the area is lovely and quiet. Would recommend.
