Enjoy a relaxing stay at this high-quality destination at any time of the year. Snuggle up in winter, warmed by the wood burner and underfloor heating, and relish the gorgeous views of frosty countryside or, in summer, throw open the doors to the courtyard and enjoy the fresh air. Set within the stunning Eden Valley, this is a welcoming retreat for couples, friends or small families.

This converted and extended farm building employs natural, local materials for appealing character and contemporary comfort - it’s an ideal base for a peaceful getaway. Kick off your boots in the entrance lobby, where there are armchairs if you feel like stopping to gaze at the views. The open-plan living space has a further choice of seating and, for those quiet times by the fire, a Smart TV. The bespoke kitchen/diner is a pleasure to use, and has robust timber dining table for long, lingering meals. A slate-tiled shower room is situated off the entrance hall, with a second one on the first floor. Both have luxurious, rainfall-style showers. The two king-size bedrooms are also on the first floor, with ample storage, stylish furnishings and comfortable mattresses. The garden is visited by all kinds of wildlife - simply open the French doors onto the patio and see what you can spot. There’s furniture here for al fresco dining, too.

A wonderful building, very tastefully and thoughtfully laid out and equipped. A beautiful isolated rural location to explore the surrounding Eden Valley and Lakes. Very friendly hosts live next door and were the perfect blend of helpful and available when needed while not at all intrusive.

This is a delightful, recently converted and beautifully finished cottage. There are great views over the fields (full of cows and sheep when we visited) and of the bird-feeders next to the property. It's well-equipped, the showers are awesome and the beds are comfortable. Raymond and Margaret are great hosts too, sharing tips about places to visitRead more and making us feel at home. Nettlebed is a convenient base for visiting Penrith, Lowther Castle and the picturesque northern Lake district. Hide
