Cragside cottage, created by the sympathetic conversion of a former barn, accommodates up to six persons.

Sleeping accommodation is all on the ground floor, and comprises two double-bedded rooms and one twin-bedded room. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom and toilet. Open roof beams and part exposed stonework add character to the spacious (approx llm x 5m) living room and kitchen area on the first floor, which has some fine views towards the southwest. There is also a second toilet and shower room on this floor. Equipment includes electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezing compartment, dishwasher, automatic washing machine and colour TV. The cottage has full oilfired central heating and fitted carpets throughout.

Outside is a south facing paved patio area; garden chairs and charcoal barbecue grill are available if required.

Guests are free to roam over the seven acres of fellside which adjoin the cottage, provided that gates, fences, dry-stone walls are not damaged or animals disturbed. Views from the Crag, the small rocky ridge just behind the cottage, can be stunning in good weather conditions. Children must be supervised on the crag, as there are potentially dangerous rock faces.

The cottage is personally supervised by the owners who live in the adjoining farmhouse.

The cottage is normally only available for weekly, Saturday to Saturday lets, but out of season and for non-peak weeks it may be available for 3 or 4 day shorst breaks which start on Saturdays (3 nights) or Tuesdays (4 nights).

Please note that we do not allow smoking or pets within the cottage. We can provide secure, warm and dry accommodation for dogs in a former byre.
