The Old Vicarage - Morland

With a library room, a games room, formal dining space and opulent antiques, this grand Grade II-listed manor house sets the scene for a remarkable dog-friendly getaway for up to 19 guests. The property is set on 4 acres of grounds in a countryside village the Eden Valley – which is within reach of Lake District, North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales.

As you enter the property, you’ll be taken aback by the character and charm of the country-house style interiors – such as the antique furnishings, original features dating back to the 17th century and intricate, carved woodwork on the walls. On the ground floor is a large drawing room with an open fire, a 1913 Bechstein grand piano and 17th-century oak chimneypieces. The dining room boasts a 16-seat mahogany table and an open fire. Continue into the fully equipped kitchen with a grandfather clock and a dining table. There is also a utility room, a second catering kitchen, which is available on request, a library room and a games room with a pool table and darts. Spread across the two floors are nine bedrooms, three with en-suites, plus three family bathrooms. Outside, you’ll find an enclosed garden with a patio, furniture, a BBQ, and storage with outdoor games equipment. Beyond here are 4 acres of grounds with a kitchen garden, waterfalls, a Victorian quarry rock garden and a croquet lawn.
