Absolutely lovely holiday cottage in a very pleasant village.

Absolutely lovely holiday cottage in a very pleasant village. We stayed for 1 week and found that the cottage is very comfortable with high-quality furnishings. The log burner was cosy after long walks in the beautiful Lakeland countryside.The village of Askham is pretty, with two decent pubs and a shop within a few minutes' walk. We liked how dog friendly it is too! Would happily stay here again.

A super recently-converted barn accommodation.

A super recently-converted barn accommodation. The cottage is fully equipped (even down to a convenient EV charge point in the drive). The beds a comfy, the bathrooms are luxurious. The village itself is very quiet and peaceful. Would happily return in the future.
