Grange Farm cottage
Small and basic but in an ideal location and perfect for us as on great walking routes. I believe it is competitively priced and the owners are lovely.

Great walks
The cottage was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay (with the exception of towels). There are many fantastic walks nearby. We really enjoyed our trip.

Hollows Cottage is only 1/2 mile from Grange, where there is 2 busy tea rooms, and less than 5 mile from Keswick which is a bustling market town, the farm is rural but not isolated.
We live next door to the cottage, it is owner maintained, and we have a good knowledge of the area for walks, eating out. Our youngest son has free range eggs for sale.
You can often see Gavin working and training sheep dogs.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hollows Farm.
