    “Beautiful cottage, spacious enough for 2 adults, 4 kids and a dog.”

    Really well equipped kitchen and whole house spotlessly clean. Bonus was a gorgeous garden accessing the river walk. Could not recommend more highly!

The property

Set in the idyllic market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbira is Eden Cottage. This delightful, stone-fronted, Grade II listed cottage has stunning original wooden beams woven throughout, a crackling woodburning stove set in a feature fireplace and welcomes up to six guests in three bedrooms, making it a wonderful setting for families or friends looking to explore the surrounding National Parks. Enter your home-away-from-home where a homely sitting room welcomes you, snuggle up on either of the plush sofas and browse the selection of films on the Smart TV while the woodburning stove warms the room. Stay warm while the designated chef of the group explores the wonderful kitchen which boasts a double Belfast sink, range oven with gas hob, large fridge/freezer and handy washing machine and dishwasher; tuck into the culinary delights they whip up before travelling out into the spacious garden. Soak up the last of the sun with a glass of wine in hand or walk alongside the lawn to the bottom of the garden where you can admire the River Eden and watch the sunset over the rolling Cumbrian hills. When sleep calls, climb the stairs where a double with en-suite shower, double and a bunk room await serviced by a family bathroom; be sure to get some well-earned rest before another action packed day. Eden Cottage lies at the centre of Appleby-in-Westmorland where you can find local shops and pubs such as the Kings Head and Hare & Hounds on your doorstep, you can also find the well-preserved Norman Appleby Castle and the medieval Church of St Lawrence. Keen ramblers will be eager to explore the nearby Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Park, both are bursting at the seams with walks and trails varying from tranquil strolls to challenging, mountainous hikes including Nine Standard Rigg and Shap Fells; you will also find a network of biking opportunities and a plethora of wildlife. Penrith is a short scenic drive away from the cottage and home to more pubs and restaurants for the nights you don’t fancy cooking as well as the imposing Penrith Castle set on a grassy meadow ideal for family picnics. Choose Eden Cottage as your base and explore the wonders of Cumbria and the surrounding National Parks.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

APPLEBY-IN-WESTMORLAND

Penrith 14 miles.

The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
