A matchless base for Cumbrian walkers, this fabulous country cottage sits on the edge of the North Pennines AONB with the Pennine Way close by and the Lake District National Park in driving distance. Ideally suited to those who want to hike, trek or bike their way around some of Northern England’s most dramatic beauty spots, this holiday home invites four guests to stay with comfy beds ready for resting up ahead of excursions yet to come. The property is pet-friendly to allow for epic dog-walking adventures in the surrounding greenery and is metres from a food-serving country pub in Dufton village.
Enter via the back of the property after a long walk, leaving muddy boots and wet outerwear in the utility room before making yourselves at home. The property’s entire offering is laid out on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom easy to access just off the hallway. The lounge is an exceptionally inviting space with cushy seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV, whilst next door the kitchen/diner is a light-filled space for sociable mealtimes. There’s also the garden on offer, a lovely grassy spot that’s enclosed, secure for pets or children to play and complete with a little summerhouse and bistro set.
Mighty waterfalls and impressive fells sit close by in the Teesdale scenery, with Cross Fell (8 miles), Ashgill Force (16.5 miles) and High Force (16 miles) all worth exploring nearby. Walk the High Cup Nick (4 miles) along the Pennine Way, stopping off for a waterfront picnic at Cow Green Reservoir whilst en route (9 miles). For those seeking some real adrenaline-pumping adventure, the local Yad Moss ski lift (18.5 miles) is sure to set any heart racing. For more relaxing pursuits, visit the nearby town of Appleby (3.5 miles) with its weekly market and pleasant town square.
