Part of a converted barn/dairy dating from around 1700, this 2 bed annexe can be separated from our home for guests to use as self-contained accommodation. Stone walls, woodburning stove. Rural location in the stunning North Pennines AONB, sitting at around 1500ft and above the village of Garrigill. Ideal for the Pennine Way the South Tyne Trail and the C2C cycle route. A short walk to Ashgill Force and within a 20 minute drive of High Force and Low Force.

The space
The property has an open plan kitchen/dining space/lounge with woodburning stove, a bathroom with electric shower and heated towel radiator, a twin bedroom and a double bedroom, both of which have sink units.

The property has internet, a TV with Sky, a DVD player (some DVDs are provided), family games, toys and games for younger guests and books all available for our guests.

There is parking for one car on the property and the use of some of our outside space.

Please note we are 1500ft up in the fells and the descent into the property from the road is steep. It is possible to park on the road side if you prefer.

High chair, travel cot and baby bath are available on request.

Heating through wood burner and a towel radiator in the bathroom. There are cast iron radiators downstairs and in both bedrooms - these are powered by the solid fuel Rayburn in the main house which we only burn in the late autumn/winter or particularly cold snaps. They are heated to a relatively steady temperature for most of the day.

We will provide a supply of logs, kindling and firelighters to get you started. Additional logs can be purchased for £6 per bag on request.

We are not on mains water and the property is spring fed. At times we do have discoloured water, which is perfectly safe as it is filtered and UV treated on the property. We do however provide bottled water if you prefer.

There is a two burner gas bbq available for guests, along with some outdoor games and a picnic hamper (ice packs in freezer).

There is a small herb garden and guests are free to cut herbs for their own use during the growing season.

Guest access
Guests have shared use of an area of our front garden (please note it does have our stream running through it).

Other things to note
Please see notes under 'The Space' about log supplies for the wood burning stove. Please do ask if you're not familiar with using a wood burner - we are more than happy to offer some hints and tips on using it.

Hi. We have been lucky enough to live here in the North Pennines AONB since July 2018. Our home is 1500ft up on the fellside and dates from 1700, possibly earlier. Walking in our beautiful countryside is a big part of life and trying to live as sustainably as possible is also very important.
