Property code: OC-SZ507

Boasting stunning views across Mallerstang Edge and the dramatic landscape of the Yorkshire Dales from almost every window, this family-friendly rural retreat is perfect for anyone who loves nothing better than walking, climbing, and cycling through the great outdoors.

The roaring wood burner, exposed brickwork and stunning ceiling beams create a truly warming ambience in the cosy lounge/diner. The light and bright sunroom offers a haven of serenity whilst the contemporary country cottage-style kitchen offers everything you need to whip up meals. On the first floor, the two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom provide an oasis of calm to retire to at the end of a busy day, whilst the en-suite double bedroom accessed by a quirky spiral staircase is brimming with characterful features reminiscent of a rustic farmhouse. Outside, children and four-legged friends can roam the enclosed lawn as you soak up your fresh, countryside air with a glass of something chilled from the comfort of the patio.

Lying in a picturesque spot where Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales overlap, you’ll find true tranquillity in the quiet hamlet of Outhgill. From the doorstep, keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of red squirrels, which are indigenous to this beautiful area, as you stroll to the local green to admire its spectacular Andy Goldsmith sculpture. Conquer the summit of High Seat 9 miles away, the highest point of the majestic Mallerstang Edge fell, or uncover hundreds of years of history at Pendragon Castle, a mile away, where the sandstone remains are steeped in the legends surrounding King Arthur. The picturesque village of Orton, home to a renowned monthly farmers’ market, can be reached within 15 miles.

Very nice cottage - plenty of space. Beds very comfy - but the real highlight - the views were unbelievable - in every direction. Good outside space - dog proof.

Whilst the cottage was relatively clean, it was tired in places.

We had a lovely few days over New Year at the Old Stables. We were a party of six adults and two dogs and we had plenty of room and the house was very cosy and well equipped. It's great to have the additional fridge in the utility room and a full freezer in the kitchen is also a bonus when you have a few to cater for! The location is fabulous - eveRead moren in December/January when we had some awful rain, the scenery is spectacular and great for dog walks (with care for sheep in the fields). Hide

Lovely spacious house in a beautiful setting. Lots of extra touches to make it welcoming, like books, games, puzzles etc and a bbq. The WiFi was excellent and the smart TV made good use of it! Kitchen well stocked with utensils etc and two modern ovens made cooking easy. We all loved the sun room at the back. Would definitely recommend.
