The Cottage is a beautiful newly refurbished barn situated in the Lakeland Fells. With views of Weatherlamb and Coniston Old Man, The Cottage is the perfect place to relax, take in the views and get away from it all. Located within the small holding of Crooked Birch, Herdwick sheep, pet goats and a few free-range chickens roam around the adjacent fields. With the Cumbrian Way and footpaths located near to the property, enthusiastic walkers can explore the stunning countryside.

Although we live adjacent to The Cottage, access to the house is via a key safe and this information will be sent to you, along with directions and check-in details before your visit. I am always available to help and give any information guests need. A tasty welcome pack awaits you complete with wine, biscuits, coffee, tea, milk and coffee pods for the Nespresso machine. Guests are also welcome to a box of our very own free range eggs if requested and if the hens are laying!!
