Appleby-in-Westmorland is located in a bend of the River Eden and is surrounded by the North Pennines, which are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Lake District Fells, which can be seen in the distance to the west. It is one of the most beautiful towns in northern England, having been the county seat of Westmorland and located in the beautiful Eden Valley. Appleby is conveniently located between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, so visitors can take advantage of the varied landscapes of two National Parks, as well as numerous opportunities for hiking, bicycling, and relaxing at the town's excellent recreation centre. Appleby is home to many excellent restaurants, cafes, and delicatessens that feature regional fare and handcrafted goods made by locals. In the centre of town, between the well-preserved Norman Castle and the fine mediaeval Church of St. Lawrence, is the picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, which passes through Appleby, is widely considered to be one of the most scenic train rides in all of Britain. Many vintage steam trains still make the journey along this route, which includes the breathtaking Ribblehead Viaduct. The beautiful Lake District is just a short drive away, and so is the charming Ullswater.

The garden was fantastic with a lovely outside seating area for 6, and a summer house where we sat and enjoyed a coffee. We could also access the river path straight from the garden. The location is great with the pubs, shops and cafes in Appleby just a few minutes walk away. Beds were comfy and there was ample bedroom storage. The ensuite is quite small but it's manageable. Great kitchen equipment if you want to cook. The only problem we found was the pull out table for eating inside:- we can see why this is a challenge spacewise and the owners have provided a pull out 4 seater table but we struggled to work out where to put it, and seating all 5 of us was not possible easily. Having said that, we would still recommend this property.
