The Northumberland National Park and southern Scotland are both within an hour’s drive. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

The Rockery was very well appointed and lovely to find Prosecco and tea bags for example already there. The rooms were large enough for all 8 of us and situated very well for exploring the area. To walk 50 yards to get fresh eggs was a bonus and Shap Abbey was lovely to visit a short walk away. There was enough parking for all of us and it was very quiet. We would really recommend it.

Great property. 5 people do have to share the main bathroom if you have full occupancy but there is another toilet downstairs. Comfy bed, large rooms, tastefully decorated. Large back garden and near to some lovely walks.
