Bureaucracy did for our artisan dairying business and for a few years the sandstone byre languished unloved and uninhabited. Then, with the expertise of two very local builder-brothers who understand old and quirky buildings, we converted it into a luxury holiday cottage for two.

There’s a small hall, a big bathroom, an open plan living room, a garden room with lovely views across the fields and a bedroom with a feature sandstone wall. It is all kitted out to the highest standard, has many original features including a sign proclaiming the virtues of the Simplex milking system and what’s more, the pub is only a short walk down the road.

Armathwaite station on the Carlisle/Settle railway is in the next village, the Lakes and Hadrian’s Wall are nearby, there’s an indoor heated swimming pool available at a very reasonable rate for private hire within five minutes walk, we can advise on local walking, fishing, riding, golf and culture but most of all, we find that guests just like to relax, soak up some restorative Eden air and watch our world go by.
