Situated on the edge of the Lake District, the peaceful, rural location means you can get away from it while being ideally based for exploring the Lake District, Solway Coast, the historic border city of Carlisle, Hadrians Wall and the Scottish Borders. Super family friendly too ! The space The Old Grainstore is a stylish and spacious barn conversion cottage sleeping up to 6 plus up to two babies.

The Old Bothy is a Green Gold award winner and we are very proud of our eco friendly credentials. There is off-road parking for up to two cars, a secure cycle store and a tap for washing muddy bikes and boots. There's also free wifi if you find it impossible to leave work behind or you have teenagers suffering from social media withdrawal. Other things to note Due to us being a family friendly site we are also a quiet site, which means the only noise we want to hear after 10pm is the owls 🦉 😀 Regretfully we don’t accept pets, due to our farm dogs, who are very friendly with humans, but not other dogs. We also have guests who stay with allergies.
