Ravenstonedale, The Lake District and Cumbria
This pretty, semi-detached, stone-built, farmhouse conversion is four miles from Ravenstonedale and can sleep five people in two bedrooms.
Sally End is situated just four miles from Ravenstonedale. The cottage sleeps four people and has one double bedroom with futon, one single bedroom with pull-out stacker bed, a bathroom, a fitted kitchen with a dining area and a small sitting room with woodburner. Outside the cottage offers off road parking for two cars and an enclosed garden. With the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks both nearby, Sally End is the perfect base for a romantic stay in this picturesque area.
A small and compact village, Ravenstonedale has much to offer the visitor seeking a quieter experience than the nearby Lake District National Park provides. It is a pretty village; traditional whitewashed stone cottages and stone walls border the fields, whilst the Raven brook trickles by. St Oswald's church is largely from the Georgian era, comprising a solid structure with a simple square tower. In addition, there are elements from older buildings incorporated in it, and the base of a Saxon cross just outside. To the north of the church, excavations in 1920 revealed the foundations of a 13th Century Gilbertine Abbey. Ravenstonedale is a fantastic base for exploring the Lakes to the west or the Yorkshire Dales, just a short drive to the east. Those who prefer to stay closer to home can explore the Howgill Fells, the rounded hills which signal the start of the Lakeland ranges.
Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
