Description

Monks Bridge is a charming three bedroomed converted former school house, ideally situated at the edge of the peaceful village of Crosby Ravensworth and within easy walking distance of the local pub.  The property is located next to Lyvennet Beck and Monks Bridge from where the cottage takes its name.  Dating back to the 1700's this spacious property is in an ideal location for those wanting to explore Cumbria, the Yorkshire Dales and the Pennines.  There is a delightful garden to relax in, or if the weather is not in your favour why not take a seat in the sun room that overlooks the Beck. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of the red squirrels, ducks and other wildlife that visit the area.  Monks Bridge provides modern amenities yet has retained much of the character of the original building such as the lofty ceilings, arched windows and wooden floors and is an ideal holiday destination for families or groups of friends.

Reviews

A super property, mixture of traditional and modern. Exceptionally clean and well equipped, bedding, towels etc of excellent quality. A fantastic cottage combining traditional and modern, ideally located for walking.

Mr Glenn H,

Lovely home from home

Mrs Penny W,

The owners clearly take pride in providing good quality, comfortable accommodation. Everything was to a high standard, the house was spotless and the garden a joy. We loved watching the birds and red squirrels, local walks, learning the history of Monks Bridge and the local area, meals at the Butchers Arms and seeing local towns and villages. We had a lovely holiday and would return.

Mrs Christine K,

Monks Bridge was a joy to stay in, wonderful accommodation, gorgeous garden, friendly village, excellent pub, great walks from the property. Graham & Pam from Rutland.

A really well thought out property with a very homely feel. Everything went well with our stay, good walks right from the property and within half an hours drive. Thank you.

Excellent stay with old friends and relatives made all the better by the standard of accommodation.
