There is plenty of local produce to purchase or enjoy in the many restaurants and pubs serving regional favourites. There is also excellent road access to the historic border city of Carlisle with its castle and museum, and Hadrian’s Wall, a World Heritage Site, has interesting exhibitions to visit. The Northumberland National Park and southern Scotland are both within an hour’s drive. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

Lovely house, very comfortable and all the amenities you could need.

The Rockery was very well appointed and lovely to find Prosecco and tea bags for example already there. The rooms were large enough for all 8 of us and situated very well for exploring the area. To walk 50 yards to get fresh eggs was a bonus and Shap Abbey was lovely to visit a short walk away. There was enough parking for all of us and it was very quiet. We would really recommend it.

Congratulations to the cleaning team.
Congratulations to the cleaning team. This is a big spacious house and is immaculately maintained. Loved the dignity of the furnishings. Loved the space indoors and out. Breakfast on the decking with gorgeous views and glorious sunshine was a lovely way to start the day. The sunset view from the dining room was spectacular. Thank you for a perfect stay
