Slow days at the head of the dale
A seventeenth-century farmhouse at the head of a quiet dale. Seven rooms, a wood-fired kitchen and a thousand acres of fell to lose an afternoon in. No televisions, no rush, no reason to leave.

The kitchen
Dinner, cooked over fire
One sitting, one menu, whatever is best that week. Most of it is grown, reared or foraged within a few miles, and cooked over the wood-fired range. Breakfast is long and unhurried, and there is always something on the hob.
Dinner £48 for three courses · Breakfast included
The dale
A thousand acres out the back door
Walks from the door
Footpaths onto the fell straight from the yard. We will lend you boots, a map and a flask.
The beck
A cold, clear swimming hole a ten-minute walk downstream. Bracing in June, heroic in October.
The sauna
A wood-fired cedar sauna in the old dairy, with a bucket shower and a view of the stars.
Dark skies
Some of the darkest skies in England. We leave a telescope and a blanket by the back door.
Guest book
“We came for two nights and left having barely used the car. Woke to mist on the fell, walked all day, ate like royalty, slept like the dead.”
Rachel & Tom
Stayed in March
“The kind of place you want to keep to yourself. Every detail considered, nothing fussy. The kitchen alone is worth the drive.”
Priya D.
Stayed in October
“Genuinely the most rested I have felt in years. No wifi in the room turned out to be the whole point.”
