A 15-minute drive from M6 junctions 38 or 39, or from Appleby the A66. Also 3½ hours from London by train.
Right at the centre of the county of Cumbria, also now within the Westmorland Dales, part of The Yorkshire Dales National Park, our family farm is surrounded by dales, valleys and fells, remote without being lonely, a rare and tranquil place.
Just 2 minutes 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.
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.
Glamorous Camping, or Glamping cannot get much better than this .
Our 2 individual Shepherds Huts are right in the heart of the Westmorland Dales in The Yorkshire Dales National Park. Each hut has views right to The Pennines and Howgill Fells.
Totally ‘Off-Grid’ The Shepherds Huts at Crake Trees Manor are lit by candles and lanterns. Wood Stoves keep each hut toasty warm, sleeping on hand made English mattress’s. A solid built in bed, Oak floor and pale lime washed walls give each hut a very Scandinavian feel. Proper “Hygge”.
Its just a few steps to warm Showers, Toilets and the Stable Kitchen. A brand new, welcoming space to make tea, choose one of my homemade meals from the freezer, and grab milk or a beer from the fridge. There is also an antique Wood Stove by the kitchen table….perfect.
The Shepherds Huts are based on traditional huts that were taken into the fields of large sheep farms in the 19th century. Built by Mike, on the farm they are totally unique, really comfortable and sit peacefully in the meadow.
Enjoy a lovely quiet site, in the Westmorland Fells with magnificent views over the Pennines and Howgill Fells, including on clear nights an amazing Dark Sky experience.
We welcome tents, trailer tents and small camper vans.
Escape for a few hours to our Wood Fired Hot Tub hidden within the gothic ruins of a twelfth century manor house.
Imagine sitting back in a steaming wood fired hot tub, the night sky lit up with stars or a tiny new moon, with the crackle of a log fire gently keeping the water warm and inviting. No chemicals, totally clean water, heated up by the integral wood stove, all ready to jump into.
The view from the tub is unique…looking right down over the farm to the Lyvennet valley and the Pennines beyond.
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…
Christmas Party nights with a difference. For a totally different way to celebrate with work colleagues or friends this Christmas. Exclusive use of Wood Fired Hot Tub and seasonal 2 course supper for up to 6 people. Start the night with an hour or so in the steaming clear waters of the Wood Fired Hot…
We certainly get wonderful skies in Cumbria. The Autumn weather changes rapidly but the ‘back-end’ of each year usually brings long spells of gorgeous weather that means a holiday in The Westmorland Dales is a good choice.
