Holiday house near Kirkby Stephen, Eden Valley, Cumbria, England
18th Century Manor House
Pleasant Village Location in the Stunning Eden Valley
Sleeps 14 (6 Bedrooms)
|
|
The house lies approximately 11 miles west of the Yorkshire Dales and only a short drive of 26 miles from the Lake District. If you enjoy long walks in the countryside or perhaps the challenge of climbing the magnificent fells then The Manor House is the ideal place for you to stay. Cumbria is of course famous for its beautiful lakes (Wordsworth country), and its undulating lofty fells, hills and mountains, and these can be taken full advantage of in this lovely house in this wonderful part of the world. If walking is not necessarily for you, then there are plenty of other activities to enjoy such as visiting the many abbeys, monasteries, churches and of course castles that Cumbria has to offer. Many of them only a short drive away. Closer to home is our local town, Kirkby Stephen, where you will find plenty of places to eat lunch or afternoon tea or perhaps enjoy a warming cup of cocoa on those colder days or a pot of tea and a slice of cake.
