Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming holiday home is tucked away amid 7 acres of gardens and woodland, just a five-minute walk from a stretch of river where you can fish for trout and salmon. There are red squirrels in the garden, otters in the nearby ponds, and a pair of breeding sea eagles to look out for – keep an eye out for osprey and golden eagles too. The house is perfectly placed for walking in the high fells and admiring the scenery of the North Coast 500 route. We love the wood-fired hot tub for relaxing evenings outside, and the open fires in both sitting rooms for cosy nights in. There’s plenty of room for a large group in this comfortable, welcoming home-from-home.
