The Brew House

Self Catering accommodation for 2 guests

Just a few minutes away from Crake Trees Manor our self catering cottage is in the neighbouring village of Maulds Meaburn. We recently converted the village Brew House into a unique and very quirky self-catering cottage.

A perfect romantic retreat for 2 people plus 1 dog or a baby. Right at the centre of the village, the conservatory and bedroom look right out over the village green. It also has a sunny enclosed courtyard, wood stove, lovely handmade furnishings, WiFi of course and only a 15 minute walk through the fields to the pub.

The Brew House now has its own Wood fired Hot Tub. Perfect for sunny evenings and star watching on dark nights.

Sheep graze in summer, children play in the lovely river Lyvennet that flows through the valley, a tranquil place within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This valley is known as The Westmorland Dales.

The Shepherds Huts

Crake Trees Glamping …..The Shepherds Hut

Glamping cannot get much better than this .

Our Shepherds Hut is right in the heart of the Westmorland Dales in The Yorkshire Dales National Park. The hut has views right to The Pennines and Howgill Fells. Totally ‘Off-Grid’ to really enjoy the ‘Dark Skies ‘ experience.

The perfect escape for 2 people. The Shepherds Hut at Crake Trees Manor is lit by candles and lanterns. A Wood Stoves ready to light. An Oak bed with mattress. Bring all your own bedding and towels. Oak floor and pale lime washed walls give the hut a very Scandinavian feel. Proper “Hygge”.

The Shepherds Hut has its own private Wood fired Hot Tub…just for 2

Just a few steps to warm private Showers and Toilets, plus Kitchen area.

Also our Glamping Pods …more details coming later.

Its that special time of year…..Lambing Time

Its February……So that means the start of Lambing. At Crake Trees we lamb in various stages through February, March and April. The first Ewes to give birth this year are Mules. This breed has been the traditional choice of sheep farmers for over a hundred years. They are a crossed breed of Swaledale mother from…

Remember, its best to….Book Direct

Today, even though I only found out this morning, is BOOK DIRECT day. I know your calendars are bursting with a day for this and a day for that, but having a special day does highlight a cause or an issue and make us think about the days title a little bit more. BOOK DIRECT…

Breakfast Marmalade….a big task ahead

Its the time of year again. No sooner have the decorations come down, the Toffee Shop fudge been devoured and I seem to have a tidy kitchen for a short while ……when I notice that Seville Oranges have arrived at Booths. Oh dear, now my favourite job (NOT) looms. Making Marmalade has been an annual…

Covid-19 Update – the beginning of July 2020

I have rarely seen the countryside around Crake Trees Manor look so beautiful.

A late spring, lots of warm sunshine and a thankful drop of rain has given us a riot of colour and fresh growth

The hedges a blaze of colourful grasses and herbs, with so many wild flowers, I cannot even name them all!

Our fields are full of Pheasant couples with chicks, mother Hares, ground nesting Peewit,Curlew & Snipe, with low flying Owls around dusk.

We also have a couple small Roe Deer with their fawns that have ventured down into the horse garth.

So long as people walking the footpaths keep their dogs on a lead and wear gloves, we welcome them to enjoy our space and fresh air.

Re-opening dates are from 4th July and 10th July.

Should you need to get in touch with us please email ruth@craketreesmanor.co.uk.

Or just give Ruth a ring if you would like to talk.

Our Instagram posts will continue, trying to keep you all updated about life at Crake Trees during these strange times www.instagram.com/craketreesmanor

We look forward to re-opening and welcoming you all, either as returning or new guests.

Best wishes….Mike & Ruth.
