Cosy, peaceful retreat not far from Hadrian's Wall. A real fire, tennis, BBQ, the Coast to Coast cycle route and hilly treks from the door

Read guest comments

Beneath watercolour-washed Cumrew Fell, in the quietest corner of Cumbria's Eden Valley, rests the Hayloft - simple on the outside, light-filled and cosy within (a wood-fired biomass boiler keeps you toasty). There's a skilful mix of space, comfort, originality and tradition here; pull off your walking boots and pad up wooden stairs to the lovely long-beamed living space. Sofas cling to the wood-burner; a big dining table accompanies a brilliantly kitted kitchen.

Settle into the snug lined with books and with its own view. Down the beamed corridor are two bedrooms: a super king and a twin with en suite shower rooms. The Hayloft adjoins the Georgian house where the owners live but you're pretty private here, and may use the walled garden; fire up the barbecue on a summer's evening.

Black grouse can be spotted on the local RSPB reserve; the Coast to Coast cycle route starts from the door; fell walks abound.

Local points of interest from Andrew & Kit Hollings:

Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Andrew & Kit Hollings:

  • Walk from Howtown on Ullswater, round the lake to Glenridding and take the famous Ullswater steamer back. Stunning lakeside walk with cream teas available en route! Or, for those seeking action on the water, Eden Outdoor Adventures are the folk to help.
  • Hadrians Wall is only a short drive away. Relive history with your family at nearby Birdoswald fort - the kids will love the interactive museum. Alternatively, plan to walk the wall with friends using us as a base. Ask for suggested itinerary.
  • Fancy a tour around a working mill, a river walk with a mysterious cave and a prehistoric stone circle thrown in, Little Salkeld Watermill, 20 minutes away, is the place to go. Bread courses available.
  • Take a drive, or a cycle (not for the faint-hearted!) up Hartside to Alston, the highest market town in Britain. Enjoy a feast of quirky shops, nearby Nenthead Mines for fascinating local industrial history, and a trip on a steam train.
  • Ever watched sheep race round a track, driven a mini Land Rover, dared to descend a 24 foot demon drop slide? Walby Farm Park provides bucket loads of outdoor fun ( and also boasts Cumbria's largest indoor play area). It's a mere 15 minutes drive from us.
  • Tennis courts fully refurbished in Spring 2021 for a match worthy of Wimbledon. Rackets and balls provided if required. Ball-hitting practise available with active, well-coached Hollings family members, if they're at home!

"We enjoyed ourselves very much at the Hayloft, thank you. We shall certainly return to make it our base should we decide to revisit the Lake District. It's a very long drive, but worthwhile! We were blessed with some wonderful weather also."

"We have loved our week here. It is a beautiful place to stay and we have made very good use of the tennis court,which is a joy to play on. We have been on some great walks - one day we walked to Birdoswald Fort, then back via Coombe Craggs and swam in the river - the wood was amazing and the swim was lots of fun. Thank you so much - a special week and hopefully one day we'll make it back here. xxx Martin, Frances, Tom (13), Jonty (11), Laura (7), Ollie (5) and Pickle (9months)"

"There erally is nothing finer than waking up beneath a puzzle of open beams, piping hot water, cosy living spaces, quality time with WONDERFUL friends, TENNIS competitions, open (ish) fires, toasting marshmallows, fire pits, afternoon tea, cows, torrential rain, sunsets shining across the fields, misty mornings, lots of space....everything! We have had an utterly BRILLIANT time at the Hayloft. THAN YOU to all the Hollings. Nicola, Edward, William and Simon Hopwell, and the Doyles too, Bibi, Justin, Nati and Eli"

"The Hayloft has been the perfect location to escape our hectic lives and spend quality time with family. We have enjoyed some fantastic walks with stunning scenery. Alfie (the dog) particularly enjoyed the walk to Lacey's Caves where he could swim in the river. Jay and Adam thoroughly enjoyed tennis with Andrew and George although Geroge appears to be at an advantage with youth on his side! Thank you for your warm and frinedly welcome. We will highly recommend the Haylfot and would love to visit again in the future. Lesley, Tony, charlotte, Adam, Katie and Jay, and Alfie"

"A magical week spent with the family at the Hayloft, in stunning surroundings and superb accommodation. Perfect in every way, from fresh eggs in the morning, the most lovable cat Pele, tot he fun and laughter of playing tennis with the family. Fabulous and never to be forgotten."

"Well equipped, immaculately clean and comfortable accommodation. Hosts very welcoming and full of detailed local information on the area. Lots of beautiful walks along riverside or fell top, plenty of history, excellent local pubs and wildlife. A truly special place to stay."
