The Experience

A wood-burning stove sits in an original stone fireplace; natural slate, stone and wood add to the warmth and subtle earthy colours will calm you. Views soar from every window and you can hear the beck trickle past while you look out for red squirrels, wild fell ponies and sheep – this is delightfully untrammelled countryside and there are gorgeous walks from the door.

Two immaculate bedrooms are on the first floor, another on the second with even better views and all can be super king size doubles or twins. Find a wet room and extra loo on the ground floor. The kitchen has all the bells and whistles for large groups, you eat at a convivial table and you’re left a welcome hamper with local chocolate, crisps, fresh sourdough and a bottle of wine.

Walk across fields to the pub for a pint then return to the enclosed courtyard garden with seating for summer evening suppers relishing the views and the tranquillity.

Reviews

Five of us travelled to The Green by train from the south and east of England for our annual walking reunion. We loved The Carthouse which is very well equipped with the added bonus of daily garden visits by the red squirrels. It is an ideal base for walking straight from the door into the nearby Paradise Tarn, along to Smarden Viaduct and up Green Bell. We walked to the local pubs and organised a taxi from Kirkby Stephen and a supermarket food delivery. We wish we could have stayed longer!

I recently booked all 3 properties at The Green for my 50th birthday. The standard of all them is off the charts. I’ve stayed in plenty of holiday lets, but the thought that has gone into equipping these is next level. Could not have wanted more and were even given a lift to the station when taxis proved to be an issue.

After months of looking, we stumbled across The Green Cumbria, despite it being further out from the Lakes than others we considered, we hit the jackpot! The location is perfect - it gave us the option of visiting the Lakes and the Dales. It was impeccably clean and every detail has been carefully thought through. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the beds are heavenly - so unbelievably comfortable. Our stay was truly a 5 star experience and every need was met on our 3 generational vacation. Thank you Carly and Richard for sharing this slice of Cumbrian paradise.

Linda

The Carthouse is a first-class, modern and immaculate cottage in an exceptional part of the wild dales and a perfect place to explore the Lake District, Eden Valley and the dales. The owners have thought of every need and comfort for their guests – it is 5 star.

Jill, Sawday's Inspector

The Carthouse really is a first class property. It was the perfect location for a relaxing week with family. Richard and Carly have done an amazing job in making it a home from home. Carly responded quickly when our arrival was delayed and ensured that we arrived to a warm and welcoming refuge from an eventful journey. The property is spacious, extremely well-equipped with comfortable beds and the added treat of a welcome box filled with local produce. If you love walking, nature and dark skies then this is the place for you. We saw red squirrels every day and at least 18 bird species.

Location

The neighbourhood

Walks in the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales will blow your socks off and you can join a guided walk with owner Richard. Ravenstonedale has two pubs including the celebrated Black Swan. Kirkby Stephen, an ancient market town, has independent shops, cobbled yards and historic buildings. Hop on the steam railway to Settle or Carlisle; visit Sedbergh, the 'book town'.

Local points of interest from Richard and Carly

  • Enjoy a fabulous meal and wonderful selection of cask ales & wines at the award-winning Black Swan in Ravenstonedale. Number 20 in the 2023 Top 50 UK Gastropubs the menu revolves around locally sourced, seasonal Cumbrian dishes. Dog & family friendly.
  • Take a hike in the fabulous Howgill Fells; as Alfred Wainwright once described them “a herd of squatting elephants” the Howgill’s are often unfrequented and offer a superb range of hikes; many of which can be started straight from the door.
  • Wrap up and enjoy an evening of stargazing using the guide & kit provided. Located in a Dark Skies reserve we have very little light pollution meaning that on a clear night you can see thousands of stars and even distant galaxies!
  • Take a bike ride to Pendragon Castle, described as a romantic ruin, founded by Uther Pendragon, father of Arthur Pendragon of Round Table fame. The 6-mile ride through the countryside to get there on single track lanes is magical.
  • Ever wanted to learn how to navigate in the hills or mountains with a proper map? Book a day of guided walking with owner Richard and learn some new skills along the way. Pop away the guide books…he’ll have you planning your own routes in no time!
  • Visit the local dog friendly attractions with your furry friends. Brough Castle Ice Cream Parlour and Tearoom, Lowther Castle and Gardens, Grizedale Forest and Whinlatter Forest, The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway or how about the Ullswater's 'Steamers'.

Introducing

Richard and Carly

For Carly and Richard the seed was sown many years ago about living in the countryside and having a holiday let property which would allow them to share their love of nature and the outdoors with guests. Their eco credentials are sound with ground source heating, solar panels and their own borehole, but they are keen to go further in their journey towards biodiversity and sustainability.
