    “We had a wonderful stay in Byre Cottage.”

    The property is in a beautiful location, with access to many places of interest. We loved Appleby and Kirkby Stephen which are very close, plus Rutter Falls, a totally unexpected bonus with very easy access. The upside down layout works well, providing spacious living accommodation, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The en-suite bedrooms have sleep inducing beds in generously sized rooms. The local pub is very close and well worth a visit; the village itself is delightful and offers ...

    The property is in a beautiful location, with access to many places of interest. We loved Appleby and Kirkby Stephen which are very close, plus Rutter Falls, a totally unexpected bonus with very easy access. The upside down layout works well, providing spacious living accommodation, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The en-suite bedrooms have sleep inducing beds in generously sized rooms. The local pub is very close and well worth a visit; the village itself is delightful and offers many opportunities to go walking or just meander around. We would love to go back.

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.
