The beautiful village of Gamblesby is a truly rural hideaway, nestled at the base of the splendid Pennine hills, just 10 miles north east of Penrith and junction 40 of the M6. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the beautiful lake Ullswater and 45 minutes to Keswick. For those interested in the world heritage site of Hadrian's Wall (and who wouldn't Be?) we are within a pleasant hour's drive of some of the best forts and visitor centres. Perhaps less well known, but definitely worth a visit, is the city of Carlisle with its beautiful sandstone cathedral, castle which imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots, and interesting shops and architecture - all just 40 minutes away. A trip to the border Scottish town of Gretna is only 50 minutes.
But there is no need to travel further afield as there is so much to enjoy in our own lovely Eden Valley, named after the gently winding River Eden which flows from close to North Yorkshire all the way to the Solway Firth. Along its banks you will find some memorable walks, sculpture and good fly fishing. In particular Lacey's Caves just 5 miles from us provides the focus for a fantastic walk for all age groups. The Eden Valley is largely undiscovered by tourists making your walks and drives more relaxed, and shops, tea-shops and visitor attractions more welcoming.
Whatever you like to do during the day, be it cycling, photography, relaxing, or sight-seeing, whether you are with family, friends or colleagues, we are sure we have the perfect location for you to enjoy.
We have several pubs nearby that serve great food and for those bringing their four-legged friends, (many of our local pubs are dog-friendly). There are many local walks for strolling or serious hiking and great scenery for the avid photographer, not to mention the extensive local wildlife, including our own resident hedgehog, barn owl, bats as well as deer, badgers and many more (if you don't mind staying up late to spot them of course !)
Guests are recommended to travel with their own transport (due to the limited village bus service).
The Barn is the largest of four beautiful red sandstone cottages situated together around the courtyard, with its own parking space. It is located in the peaceful village of Gamblesby, within easy reach of the Lake District, Scotland, the Pennines,etc
We Are Now Fully Open For Holiday Bookings.
We look forward to welcoming all our guests and work hard to ensure everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
We hope that people will treat their cottage with love as it is nearly 400 years old (so please excuse the odd cobweb – the spiders around here work very hard :>) !
We also trust that everyone will be considerate to other guests, and keep noise to a minimum - especially in communal areas and after 9pm.
When checking out, we would really appreciate it if guests would be kind enough to leave their cottage clean and tidy ready for our next guests. We have "Check Out Information" as guidance in the back of the Information Folder in the cottage. We appreciate your assistance, as it makes the changeover days run smoothly.
If you need any assistance during your stay, please don't hesitate to ask (we are on hand most of the time), and if there are any problems/breakages etc please let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange repairs/replace items.
