This property is quirky in all the right ways and it's everything you need. The hidden rooms behind the bookcase is such a unique touch and it's somewhere I will definitely be looking to stay again. I will say this though.. take extra clothing because the description is right....it's certainly nippy in winter.. take extra

Lovely Stay

Lovely stay in a lovely house. Area was beautiful, good proximity to Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Just off Motorway but far enough away to not notice it. Really quaint property, loved the bookcase hidden doorway. Lots of books, dvds etc for use. Milk, cookies, tea, coffee etc provided. Handy location to charge our electric vehicle at Tebay services.
