A charming home-from-home in the Yorkshire Dales with stunning country views; come for Fell walks, great pubs and cosy fireside board games

Basking in views of the Howgill Fells, this Victorian schoolhouse has been thoughtfully converted into an inviting home. Children will love the big lawn and playhouse, and the snug is kitted out with books and games for wet days.

Gather round the big wooden dining table, handmade by carpenter Jonny, for a hearty meal straight from the state-of-the-art range – beams overhead, slates underfoot and everything you need for cooking with friends or family. The master bedroom has an en suite shower and room for a cot, another has views of Cautley Spout Waterfall and a third is cosily nestled in the eaves.

Come for peace and country air; curlews calling in spring, red squirrel spotting in the woods. Walkers will be in their element, with Winder Fell, Wild Boar Fell and a walk to Cautley Spout all very close, and the Lake District a short drive. Work up an appetite for lunch at one of the excellent pubs in beautiful Sedbergh.

Punti d'interesse locali da
Mary Briggs:

  • Fell Walks: Winder, Cautley Spout waterfall and Wild Boar fell are all within 3 miles and are fantastic fell walks in the Howgills. Lake District within easy reach for day trips and bigger mountains!
  • Wild Swimming: We are spoilt for choice with wild swim spots. Walk 100m from the house and you'll come across the river Rawthey. Pop down the road to Akay Woods for some shady woodland swim spots, or Millthrop Bridge for a sunny riverside picnic.
  • Pubs: The Dalesman and the (award-winning) Black Bull inSedbergh are fantastic pubs. In Ravenstonedale there is theKing's Head and the Black Swan too.
  • Cafés: The Three Hares and the Mug Story in Sedbergh serve fantastic coffee, pastries and have sourdough bakeries.
  • Farfield Mill: Shop, café, museum, galleries and independent craftspeople selling their hand-woven/knitted wares. Day courses available in a range of artistic disciplines.
  • Historic Days Out: Sizergh Castle, Lowther Castle, Pendragon Castle, Holker Hall, Levens Hall. Something for everyone: kids' activities, stunning gardens, fascinating buildings, great walks.
