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.
