Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This country home boasts eleven acres of Pennine countryside and enough going on indoors to keep a large group happy without ever needing to leave. Gather around the long farmhouse table in the kitchen diner, sink into sofas by the stone fireplace on a cool evening, or enjoy a game of pool in the games room – there's even a bar area to keep the refreshments going. A hot tub, walled alfresco dining terrace, and direct access to the Pennine Way round things off neatly – and being within a Dark Skies Discovery Site means the nights here are worth staying up for.

Home truths
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There are six open-air parking spaces on the premises.
Three of the eight bedrooms share two shower rooms between them, so it's worth agreeing a morning routine with those guests in advance – especially for larger groups all leaving at the same time.
