"Great location with two pub’s situated either side, and the village shop that offers all your needs. With walks along the river Eden and 30mins or less to the lakes. Penrith is close by, so excellent to stop for some famous fudge! Carlisle also is close, so great to visit the Cathedral and castle, plenty for kids too in nearby Lowther Castle. The house itself is stunning and has been renovated to a high standard! And the grounds are spectacular, nothing better than to relax after a long walk and sit back in the massive Hot tub! We actually hired majority of the house both Edenside and Meadow View, and in the near future hope to book again at this great place!!"

"We recently stayed in Manor Suite and we had the most amazing time. Sue and the time went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best. We loved the extra touches on arrival, bottle of wine, chocolates and biscuits, just what we needed after our travel up. The village itself is beautiful and has everything you need, pubs, a little shop with all the essentials and amazing walks. The hot tub was great to sit in and watch the world go by. Phil the gardener was lovely and chatted to us about the grounds and the work that’s been done.

Thank you once again Sue & the team, we will be back!"
