Overview
Property code: OC-88035

This spacious family-friendly property on a Cumbrian working farm provides a peaceful rural retreat and a brilliant base for exploring the local area. You’ll get to experience life on a dairy farm where chickens and ducks potter around free range; you’ll also get to enjoy fresh farm eggs during your stay.

At the end of a private drive, this charming house has lots of character, space, and original features. The lounge/sunroom is somewhere for you all to relax and dine together, with comfy sofas, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner, and a dining table and chairs with views across the garden. There’s also a lovely country kitchen. Off the entrance lobby is a shower room and an attractive twin room with an ornamental fire and Smart TV. Upstairs there’s a king bedroom with wooden beams and pine furniture, a cosy single and a smart family bathroom. There’s lots of space in the garden, where you can sit surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Sitting in the heart of stunning Cumbrian countryside, the house is only 8 miles from Carlisle, with lots of shops, eateries, and exciting attractions to visit, including Carlisle Castle (7 miles away), which is well worth visiting to discover its turbulent history across nine centuries. Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is 7 miles away and anyone interested in planes will love the Solway Aviation Museum, 17 miles’ drive from the house at Carlisle Airport – it was RAF Crosby-on-Eden’s airfield during WWII. Solway Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is a 13-mile drive, and the famous Scottish village of Gretna Green is 17 miles away. You’ll be spoilt for choice for walks during your stay with pretty routes from the door and the stunning Lake District Park National Park just 6 miles away.

Absolutely fantastic countryside stay couldnt recommend highly enough. Weve just spent a week at this beautiful three-bedroom coach house near Wigton, and it genuinely exceeded expectations in every way. The property is stunning a thoughtfully converted coach house that feels more like a proper home than a holiday rental. Everything is sRead morepot on. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, the living space is spacious and comfortable, and there are loads of thoughtful extras board games, books, local info, and little touches that make the stay effortless and relaxing. The layout worked perfectly for us. The ground-floor twin bedroom and nearby shower room were ideal for my mum (79). While upstairs the master bedroom with exposed beams, is full of character and was perfect for me to spread out. The second upstairs bedroom has a captains bed, accessed via a small three-step spiral staircase, which my son absolutely loved, and a crawl space underneath he could play in. All the beds were extremely comfortable genuinely great sleep all week. The whole place is warm, cosy, and beautifully maintained, with quality bedding and furnishings throughout. Gwen and Mike are excellent hosts friendly, thoughtful, and completely unobtrusive, but right there if you need anything. We had a minor internet issue and it was sorted quickly and smoothly with no fuss at all. On arrival, we were welcomed with homemade brownies, flapjacks, fresh farm milk, strawberries and cream, and fruit a really lovely touch that sets the tone immediately. Being on a working farm adds real charm. You get an authentic countryside feel chickens nearby, natural sounds, and a peaceful rural atmosphere but it never feels intrusive or disruptive. Fresh eggs available at the end of the drive are a brilliant bonus and very reasonably priced. The only very minor points are a small shared garden space and just one parking space neither caused any real issue. Overall, this is a top-tier countryside stay: beautiful property, excellent facilities, outstanding hosts, and real attention to detail. Wed return in a heartbeat. Hide

Our stay at the Coach house was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. We were provided with everything that we would have needed and were pleasantly surprised by home-made flapjacks that were very delicious.
