Set in the Westmorland Dales, in the north-western corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property was a schoolhouse in the 18th century, and has been tastefully updated to provide fresh and welcoming accommodation for up to five guests. Situated on the outskirts of the tranquil village of Crosby Ravensworth, this characterful retreat features high ceilings, arched windows, wooden floors and a charming sunroom, providing a lovely spot for unwinding in after a day spent exploring the Lake District or the North Pennines.
