Stay Lambing Live - Self-catering cottage in Cumbria
Wharton, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria
England,
Royaume-Uni
Country lovers will feel at home at this just-renovated barn, on a working farm in walking country – as will families with young children. The two storeys where farmer and sheep were housed and hay and wool kept dry, have become a large, light and airy open-plan space, with soft white walls and new oak floors. Bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs, off a limestone floor'd hall; the living area is under the vaulted ceiling above. There are velux windows in the roof, as well as large deep-silled ones, and views on every side of hills sprinkled with sheep. There's a wood-burner in the chimney breast, the furniture is solid and new, the kitchen gleams with black granite and steel, the bedrooms have fresh flowers and top quality everything, and the bathrooms, smartly tiled from floor to ceiling, have soaps and shampoo from the Sedbergh Soap Company. Logs and a generous welcome pack of award-winning local produce are on the house, and Rachel, who loves to meet and greet, is full of plans for courses, from cookery to dry stone walling. The garden has oak furniture, wood-fired hot tub, a fire pit and BBQ - at the end you'll find a rope swing.

Rachel Marston:
- Perfect location to explore the newly awarded UNESCO World Heritage Lake District (15 minutes drive) or if you prefer the quaint villages, and ancient castles and ruins the Yorkshire Dales is just outside your front door.
- Take one of the worlds greatest railway journeys.... The Settle - Carlisle Railway. Located just a short walk through our fields is Kirkby Stephen railway station, from here you can plan rides and walks through the stunning countryside.
- If you like walking, but don't like the crowds, then this is the place for you! Plenty of walks right from your front doorstep as recently featured in The Country Walking Magazine. Wild Boar Fell, Nine Standards, Lady Anne's Way and Smardale Nature reserve.
- If you need the children to let off some steam there are acres of green fields and great places to visit. Lowther Castle and Raby Castle both have amazing adventure playgrounds for the young one with cafes onsite and lots to explore within the grounds.
- Cumbria has some of the best restaurants in the country with local produce always on the menu. Just 2 miles up the road is The Black Swan with award winning food and a well stocked bar. Booking is essential.
- "The Marston family" hosted BBC 2 Lambing Live - We now give our guests the chance to experience life on the farm, from feeding sheep to collecting freshly laid eggs. Lambing time is a favourite with guests with lambs to feed, cuddle and watch being born.
