"There is no local shop, it’s 5 miles away in Kirby Stephen."
-
"A great cottage to stay - the best we have used for several years."
The double bed was very comfortable and we both slept excellently every night. The first floor is an open plan kitchen / dining and living room which is very spacious. However the 'icing on the cake' is the first floor veranda which catches the sun from mid afternoon onwards and is a great place to chill and have evening meals. There's also an area you can sit and catch the morning sun. Ample off road car parking The owners are very friendly and helpful. There's a range of walking and running routes directly from the cottage

"We had a short break over Christmas, so expect whatever the weather happens to bring you?"
The Cottage is a beautiful up-side-down layout on a working farm and Mike and Dianne are the perfect hosts. For a tranquil relaxing stay to recharge the batteries this is the place. Not far from the Lake District and all within a short journey from here. We went to Ambleside, Keswick and Kendal in the Lakes and visited a friend near Bradford whilst we stayed here and none of it felt too far. We plan to revisit in the drier weather to explore the Yorkshire Moors more in the future. Ta muchly.

"We stayed at the cottage for three nights, three adults and our well behaved dog, everything was as we had hoped."
Plenty of hot water. Comfortable beds. Enough equipment, although we went out for meals. Father was working, there for you if needed. Shops , restaurants etc were about ten minutes in the car. Well positioned for both the Lakes and North Yorkshire, very quiet and peaceful. Would book again,

"Owners of the cottage were very nice."
. friendly and nothing too much trouble, in fact very laid back
-
"We want to go above and beyond to recommend these people so highly."
They made us feel at home - showed the children round the animals, allowed them to feed baby sheep etc which they loved. The cottage was in a lovely location and so nice, clean etc with everything you could need for your stay. I also had a problem with my car on the last day and the owner (Diane) went out of her own way completely to help me - a genuine life saver to say the least! All in, we cannot recommend these people highly enough and have already been in touch about returning in the summer - one of the best holidays away in this country we have had!

"The farm is magnificently situated on top of the fells where it feels you are on top of the world."
Wonderful weather added extra pleasure to an unforgettable break. We are already missing the lovely pigs. Our only regret is that we were unable to take up Mike's offer of an extra night.

These delightful Grade II listed Newbiggin-on-Lune cottages have been carefully created from old farm buildings, and each has been comfortably furnished and decorated, retaining character and charm, including original features, oak beams and exposed stonework.

About the location
NEWBIGGIN-ON-LUNE
Kirkby Stephen 6 miles; Sedbergh 12 miles.
The tranquil village of Newbiggin-on-Lune lies at the foot of the Howgill Fells, quietly sitting between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. It is a delightful rural village with a thriving local community and many traditional old dwellings. Hill farming is the principal means of income in the area and an agricultural show is still held once a year on the fells, echoing the markets and shows of days gone by. The local river, the Lune for which the village was named, is very popular for trout fishing. Nearby Ravenstonedale, once described by Wainwright as one of Westmorland’s loveliest villages, boasts three pubs, all serving fine ales and modern cuisine. The area offers many walking and cycling routes, both on and off road, whilst the nearby attractions provide something for everybody. Visit the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line, the magnificent Howgill Fells and the stunning Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. A superb location at any time of the year.
