Encircled by wild dales and rugged fells, this spoiling cottage cocoons you in countryside peace with the added fun of a sauna in the garden

Beautifully renovated, this former toll house once charged farmers driving sheep to market. Today, it brims with country charm: thick stone walls, wooden beams and fell views from every window that make even the washing up a pleasure.

Stylish interiors add warmth and cosiness – the sitting and dining rooms glow with firelight, while the well-equipped farmhouse kitchen is a happy spot for rustling up meals. Tuck into a hamper of homemade sourdough and award-winning marmalade, then stock up on local produce in Kirkby Stephen. When you fancy a night off, welcoming pubs are near.

You’re in a rugged, remote corner of the Yorkshire Dales where the river Eden begins. Climb Mallerstang Edge or Wild Boar Fell, walk for hours without seeing a soul, only red squirrels, roe deer, kestrels, butterflies... Return for a garden sauna and cold shower, then a deep sleep in one of three comfortable bedrooms.
