Company information

We aim to make your stay feel like home away from home, with more pampering. Sleep tight in a cosy bed and recharge with a scrummy-licious Full English breakfast which we cook to order.

Property information

The property was built around 1760, it has open beams in the dining room and guest lounge, a sloping ceiling in one bedroom, and is a quaint country cottage set in a beautiful garden. Mind your head in places! All rooms are ensuite, except the cosy single room which has its own private bathroom. There is plenty of off road parking and a lovely garden to sit and relax in when Winter has passed.

Neighbourhood information

We are on the edge of the stunning Lake District close enough to enjoy it and far enough to not get snarled up in it! Just 3 miles out of Penrith, a fortified market town at J40 on the M6. Close to many castles and stately homes, the area is historic, and has many stone circles to intrigue. Go north to Carlisle in 25 minutes and on to Scotland, or south through the Lakes or towards the Pennines.
