    “A great place to stay for our family.”

    The comments book was really useful especially when looking for places to eat. The only thing we would say was that it mentioned that we had to let you know if we wanted to use the travel cot. My mum rang twice but no one got back to her to let her know that you had got the message so we had to borrow one to take with us in case there wasn't one there however we found one upstairs when we get there. Thanks

Kirkby Stephen 5 miles. Clover Cottage is a charming stone-built cottage located in the village of Outhgill, not too far from Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria and its abundance of natural attractions. Set over three floors, this retreat is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. The ground floor features a beautiful farmhouse kitchen, designed to an exceptional standard, with a dining table that seats up to eight people, and plenty of space to rest with a warm cup of tea in the early hours. Boasting a contemporary feel, with patio doors opening out to the enclosed garden, you can spend much of your downtime simply relaxing here. A bunk room is ideal for housing the children and a shower room completes the ground floor. Wander upstairs to the lounge; a signature piece of the cottage, comprising a split layout that is almost a mirror image on both sides, with two sets of sofas for you to choose from. A-frame beams, Velux windows and a woodburning stove promise to add a sense of charm to those cosy nights. That's not all, with the addition of a Juliet balcony, you can stroll outside at your own leisure and take in the delightful garden views. Two bedrooms are located on the next floor, joined by a family bathroom, which comes presented with a shower over bath. The final double bedroom is accessed via another staircase, tucked away beneath a series of beams with calming views of the hills that invite natural lighting inside.
