Walkers are well placed to enjoy a variety of trails right from your door. Follow the River Eden along Lady's Walk to a dog-friendly pub at Edenhall or, for the more energetic cyclists, challenge yourself by tackling Hartside Pass. Jump on the Settle-Carlisle railway, famous for its Victorian architecture, huge stone viaducts and tunnels and a great way to watch the scenery fly by. Historians should visit Hutton-in-the-Forest, a historic house with extensive gardens and Brougham Castle is an evocative ruin that has an atmosphere all of its own. The closest Lake District lake is Ullswater where you can enjoy a lake cruise, enjoy shoreline walks or hire a rowing boat. The walks around the lake and up into the surrounding fells are as numerous as they are beautiful, you will be spoilt for choice.
Enter the large hallway which continues as a corridor leading off to the rest of the house. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven, grill and hob, dishwasher, microwave and a large fridge/freezer with plenty of storage room for supplies and worktop space for preparation.

Relax on the two comfortable sofas and enjoy a movie night – the Smart TV will connect to your Netflix or Prime account. If the adults need some downtime, then the separate snug living room allows them to spread out in their own space. Settle on the sofa, put on a playlist on the Bluetooth soundbar speaker and spend a sociable evening in front of the wood burner. The four bedrooms are simple and considered, with large windows and ample storage. The twin and the super-king-size bedroom have wooden floors and lovely views over the lawn.
