  • Gorgeous, large and quirky country cottage-style interior with exposed stone, wooden beams and vaulted ceilings  
  • Stunning views of the North Lakes hills and the Hartside Pass
  • Perfect for a romantic getaway, with a private hot tub and extras including llama walks
Property code: OC-82493

Eclectic furnishings and quirky décor make for a box-ticking holiday home in Cumbria’s vibrant Eden Valley. Romance is assured when staying here, making use of the private hot tub with amazing views or curled up by the wood burner indoors. The property is perched on the edge of the North Pennines with the Lake District National Park also in close reach (12 miles), allowing two guests to get stuck into adventure throughout their stay. See the area in an original way with some extremely unique company – the owners run a llama-walking tour and have emus, alpacas, giant rabbits and, of course, llamas on the estate!

An impressive sense of spaciousness awaits in this property with absolutely more than enough room for two to feel comfortable. The lounge and sunroom are sat beside one another, with the sunroom presenting plenty of comfy seating spots for admiring the view and the lounge a cosy space to snuggle up with the wood burner at work. There’s also a Smart TV in here so you won’t miss your favourite shows. The country kitchen is next door, as is a delectable double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The bathroom features a slipper bath to sink into after long days of exploring. You will, of course, also find your hot tub out in the garden, an enclosed, grassy space with a furnished patio.

Make the most of the dark starry nights when staying here, plotting a walking route late at night to take in the splendour. For walks better suited to the daytime, nearby Cross Fell (10 miles) is worth exploring. It’s a plot point of the famed Pennine Way and makes a great starting point for those eager to embrace this far-stretching National Trail. There’s also plenty of scenery to be found around the nearby waterfalls, with Ashgill Force, Cauldron Snout and High Force all within 27 miles.

We wanted a place to enjoy our pre-wedding honeymoon, with somewhere scenic, remote and a place to relax. We also wanted a small village to be able to walk and have breakfast, and also a local pub with good food. There was not a single thing about the holiday that we'd change, expect for the duration. The local amenities were amazing, with the locaRead morel pub and cafe providing really good food and service. And the cottage itself was amazing, with panoramic views of Hartside Pass, with alpacas and horses on the adjacent field (the alpacas like bananas and are keen to be fed). It's one of the rare places that we will look to visit again, for sure. Thanks Graham! Hide

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend and what a stunning, relaxing and romantic little cottage it was. Very spacious with plenty of different areas to relax and unwind. The hot tub had the best views over the moors and the hills. Everyday we walked in the lake District which was only an hour to Helvellyn and Derwent Water.

Beautiful cottage with super views and well located for the lake district area. Well equipped and surprisingly spacious. The local village bakery and pub are both within an easy walk and are both worth visiting. Highly recommended property.

A wonderful cottage, very well equipped, spacious and really warm (the underfloor heating works like magic), and the views are just gorgeous - photos really don't do them justice.

We booked this as a last minute short break and could not have chosen a better place to stay. The views are amazing, with the added bonus of the hot tub to enjoy them in. The llamas and the cats make great neighbours. I cannot recommend this place enough.
