General Info |
|
| |
Take a step back in time with all the comforts of home! Town End Farm Cottage was the original farmhouse and it has been tastefully converted and extended. There is a wealth of rustic beams, sandstone alcoves and fascinating features throughout the cottage which has kitchen, sitting room, utility room, three bedrooms and bathroom. Town End Farm in the village of Little Salkeld is a traditional working dairy farm which has been run by the Hebson family for 50 years and now Peter and Joyce Hebson farm it organically with their son Martyn. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
While Little Salkeld and the Eden Valley are relatively visitor-free compared with the busy tourist area of the Lake District, there is plenty to see and do just on the doorstep. The village is only half an hour's drive from Carlisle and Gretna Green on the Scottish Border and the historic World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall. There’s plenty to explore in the great outdoors either walking, the fascinating Lacey Caves on the banks of the River Eden are a short walk away from the cottage, and cycling – the Coast to Coast route passes through the village. There are outdoor swimming pools in nearby villages and Center Parcs with all its activities available with day passes is only eight miles away. And if you fancy a turn in the saddle, Bank House Equestrian riding school is just over the fields in Little Salkeld. |

Interior Details |
The cosy sitting room reflects the country cottage style with its comfortable chintz furnishings. It is just the place to unwind after a busy day watching the colour TV (with DVD) and, should the weather turn inclement; in front of a roaring open fire (fuel is inclusive). The large farmhouse style kitchen fitted with an abundance of quality oak units and modern appliances, including electric cooker, fridge, dishwasher and microwave, has plenty of space for family meals at the country pine table.
A utility room has a separate automatic washing machine and tumble dryer is also an ideal place to keep all-weather clothes and walking boots. The light and airy bedrooms – one double, one single and a twin – all have views over the beautiful surrounding countryside. The bathroom is fitted with toilet, sink, bath, separate shower and bidet.

“Joyce & Peter are very special people making you feel right at home. I’ll miss the sights and sounds of Townend, I hope that some of the tranquillity has rubbed off and I can take it home. Can’t wait to return again.
