Overview
Property code: 79466

This charming property, situated at the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the ideal place to relax and retreat. Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms, this holiday home suits both couples and small families. Spend the day exploring Carlisle (25 miles) or walking on the many trails around the area before heading back to the tranquil cottage to unwind and prepare for tomorrow.

The property, which has a wonderful south-facing patio, is spacious and welcoming. Exposed beams and stone in the open-plan living area give it a delightful farmhouse feel; sit back on the sofa in front of the wood burner after a long day, put your feet up and soak up the calming atmosphere. Open the back doors to let in fresh air while you cook in the kitchen area and eat at the rustic table. At bedtime, snuggle into one of the cosy bedrooms; each has exposed beams and neutral decor to help you drift off into a peaceful sleep. Wake up refreshed and ready for a day of adventure, taking your morning coffee out into the garden to enjoy the rural scenery.

Keen fishers should book a fishing ticket for Blencarn Lake (1 mile), with views so beautiful that you’d never guess it was a man-made lake! If you’re feeling fit, set off on a walk along Pennine Way to High Cup Nick (11.5 miles), a deep chasm on the Pennine fellside that overlooks the best glaciated valley in the north of England. If you’re looking for something a bit more sedate, the enchanting Derwent Pencil Museum (28 miles) is always a hit with kids and you might even learn something too!

A very pleasant stay in a lovely,peaceful location, in a comfortable and cosy cottage. It was great to be able to walk out of the door up onto the fell.

Have just come back from a lovely relaxing two-week stay in Shearers Cottage at Kirkland Hall. Kirkland really is a peaceful place and you can walk directly from the cottage onto Cross Fell or on quiet roads to the nearby villages. Alternatively, you can just sit outside and watch the comings and goings of the garden wildlife. It's also a good baseRead more for exploring the Lake District, Pennines and Hadrian's Wall. We found the cottage to be well-equipped and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay! Hide

We were very happy with the cottage which oozed character and old world charm. Everything worked and was clean and well presented but note the facilities are traditional and in keeping with the age and nature of the property. Fabulous gardens, one of which was enclosed and secure for our dog. Remote location at the end of the lanes to the Upper PenRead morenines, beautiful and peaceful. Remember (dog walkers) this is a working agricultural area with lots of livestock (mainly sheep). Hide

The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped. There were thoughtful touches with kitchen paper, tin foil, washing up liquid etc provided. It has a private garden which was ideal for the dog. The big shared garden is beautiful. Kirkland is so peaceful, just the sounds of sheep and the stream. It was lovely to be able to walk the dog in beautiRead moreful countryside from the cottage. The roads were quiet and it is an easy drive over to the Lakes. The owners Nick and Anna were very friendly Hide

Beautiful cottage in beautiful location. Large, characterful open plan living-dining-kitchen room with French doors onto pretty patio area with large gardens beyond.

Really could do with a good clean, freshen up and modernise a bit. I know its an old cottage but inside needs work, also WiFi and the bath tap need fixing.

This is a remote, peaceful cottage with a great feeling of history. Close to Cross Fell and a short drive into the Lake District. Recommended for those who want to escape the hurly burly.
