Lake District & Cumbrian Cottages

Glassonby Old Hall and Jenny's Croft are both Grade II listed with 5 Star Gold Award winning properties. Glassonby Old Hall is a traditional long house retaining many of its original features including old ship timber oak beams, oak mullion windows, flagged stone floors, open fires and stone staircases. Though Old Hall Farm is no longer a working farm, its position on one of the higher hills in the Eden Valley gives it amazing views towards the Pennines and the rolling countryside that has seen this area in Cumbria declared one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Jenny's Croft is a traditional barn with views over the rolling hills of the Eden Valley and its close proximity to the Lake District National Park are the main feature of Jenny's Croft and its private entrance, parking area and outlook make the best of this. The recent renovation of Jenny's Croft which dates back to the 1600s, brings this barn back into habitation for the first time since 1764. It retains many of its original features including beams, open fireplaces, stone staircases, stone walls, original old fashioned door heights (some low) and terraced gardens and fields. Jenny's Croft is furnished throughout with antiques and incorporates solar hot water heating.

These stunning properties are both in an ideal location in the quiet hamlet of Glassonby in the middle of the Eden Valley and perfect for an outdoor break in Cumbria. Numerous walks nearby leading to Lacey's Caves along the Eden River, to the Long Meg Stone Circle (the second largest in England) and to the charming nearby Cumbrian village of Melmerby, where the nationally acclaimed organic Village Bakery and the Shepherd's Inn Pub provide good food and local ales.
