The Larches proved to be the ideal place for us to hold a family celebration. Eight of us had ample space to spread out with room for more. The large modern kitchen was perfect for cooking for a group and proved to be the hub of the house to enjoy meals together. There are many good walks in the area right from the doorstep and Kirkby Stephen is easily accessible. Some window latches in the bedrooms need replacing .We would certainly consider returning and recommend to others.

The house was marvellous, spacious and charming but modern too. The kitchen area was clean, with lots of quality appliances and kitchen utensils, beds were very comfortable, the showers, bath and toilets were very clean and modern and in good working order.It's in a great location with lovely views and quick access by car or foot to nearby Kirkby Stephen. The nearby stream/beck provided hours of fun for the 8 year old with us. All in all a lovely holiday experience.

It's a beautiful area with stunning scenery just a short drive away. The house itself has so much character with a lovely large kitchen/dining area and big lounge. The garden is beautiful too - quiet and enclosed. We loved that you could walk to Kirkby Stephen over Frank's Bridge, which we did quite often. All in all, we had a lovely weekend.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2020
A lovely position in a quiet settlement on a large plot with a beautiful garden and the gentle murmur of the stream that separates the property from the quiet lane running running through the village. The Larches is the last of a short row of properties accessible over a little stone bridge. There's good parking space to the front, though one has to take care driving across the bridge. We were very comfortable in the spacious accommodation which was clean and pleasantly decorated. The sitting room lighting was poor, making it difficult to read. Lack of Internet was also a drawback. The kitchen was well provisioned but a surprising lack of food cupboard space. There were 2 spacious ovens but no baking trays. We hope to return one day as it is a lovely place for a holiday Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
