The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.

    The en-suite bedrooms are very nice. The owners, who live just across the yard, are very helpful and attentive. The accommodation would perhaps benefit from a few more pots, pans and crockery if you're cooking for a group of people. We had a great time.

  • Narinder

    Perfectly located directly on walking trails.Very dog friendly.Hope to return soon.

  • Peter

    The property was ultra-clean, modern and well equipped. It is situated between the beautiful villages of Dufton and Murton in very peaceful, rural settings. It’s a great place for keen hikers. We hiked directly from the property on 4 days of the week stayed and could have done more. Highly recommend the Stag Inn at Dufton for cask ales and home cooked food. Also the 7EVENTY1 for great Indian food in Appleby. Wonderful week’s stay.
