Priced for 6, sleeps 6. With fell walks from the front gate, wild swimming nearby, and both the Lakes and the Dales on your doorstep.
We're delighted to be asked to represent this beautifully renovated schoolhouse in the Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It sits on the edge of the rolling green fields of the dales and the wild mountainous lands that carry into the adjacent Lake District National Park - the perfect location for a family or walking break in the North of England.
The house has been carefully updated and extended by a local family who care about sustainability and design as well as our usual imperatives like lime, natural pigments and quality bedding. Expect panoramic views, very easy access to nearby Sedbergh (a charming 'book town') and three good bedrooms. Throughout the house, you'll notice the touch of the owners who work as architectural historians and green oak-framers.
The schoolhouse itself was built as late as 1877 (and converted to a holiday home after WWII), and provides a cosy and comfortable base for your Northern adventure. You've even got a few acres and woodland for the kids to romp in.
