    “We stayed in the cottage with our two childern for a fortnight and had a wonderful experience.”

    It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with all the amenities we needed. We especially appreciated the thoughtful basic survival kit (coffee, tea, sugar, butter, bread, butter cokies) provided by the owner at our arrival. The cottage is located on a very quiet farm a few miles east of Shap, away from the main tourist areas, which suited us perfectly. It lies conveniently between the Lake District, the Northern Pennines, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering plenty of opportunities ...

The cottage is located on a very quiet farm a few miles east of Shap, away from the main tourist areas, which suited us perfectly. It lies conveniently between the Lake District, the Northern Pennines, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside. Parking is available directly in front of the cottage, and there is a small terrace where you can relax and enjoy the afternoons and evenings. We received a very warm welcome from the owner and would highly recommend this cottage for anyone visiting the Lake District area.

About the location

MAULDS MEABURN

Appleby-in-Westmorland 6 miles; Penrith 13 miles.

The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Maulds Meaburn in the Lyvennet Valley is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales. Hunter Davies described the village as "one of the most beautiful villages in the country". It is a quiet picturesque village in Cumbria not far from the Eden Valley and about six miles from Appleby-in-Westmorland. It forms part of the parish of Crosby Ravensworth and stands either side of Lyvennet Beck which flows from the south through Crosby Ravensworth and finally enters the River Eden near Temple Sowerby. Nearby Appleby sits at the heart of the lush Eden Valley, and is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain; still today, many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. Visit Appleby in June and experience the famous Horse Fair, the largest Romany gathering in Europe, enjoy a walk on the Pennine Way at Dufton, or explore one of the local cycle trails. With the delightful Pooley Bridge, Penrith and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
