Enjoy the peaceful location in this magnificent, converted barn where you can spend hours relaxing in the sociable, spacious rooms or outside in the warmth of the hot tub.
Sniff out the best walks that this delightful area of Cumbria has to offer, resting your weary paws in charming Alston after an adventure-packed day. Lavish and impressive with a hot tub in the garden and cosy furniture inside, this cottage sleeps four and has plenty of room for an inquisitive pup too.
Beneath the stone exterior is a surprisingly contemporary retreat that will make you feel instantly at home from the moment you scamper up the steps and head inside. Mornings call for fresh coffee from the machine and a slap-up breakfast for four (plus one hopeful hound) around the table back in the lounge. Relax on the sofas and watch films or slip outside for a dip in your private hot tub for an added splash of luxury. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep, and when it comes to pampering yourself you’ll have the family bathroom or the ground-floor shower room to choose from.
The walk to Alston is 2 miles and certainly worth it when you visit the independent shops and welcoming eateries. For adrenaline-seekers, the North Pennines offer scenic scrambles with jaw-dropping views, the highest being Burnhope Seat 7.5 miles away. In the right conditions, Yad Moss (7 miles) will thrill even the most experienced of skiers and snowboarders with its real-snow ski area, different routes and ski lift. Further afield, The Lake District National Park awaits for even more outdoor adventures 22.5 miles away. This varied landscape features pockets of woodland, rugged fells and stunning glacial lakes with mountains as their backdrop.
