The Experience

Beneath watercolour-washed Cumrew Fell, in the quietest corner of Cumbria’s Eden Valley, rests the Hayloft – simple on the outside, light-filled and cosy within (a wood-fired biomass boiler keeps you toasty). There’s a skilful mix of space, comfort, originality and tradition here; pull off your walking boots and pad up wooden stairs to the lovely long-beamed living space. Sofas cling to the wood-burner; a big dining table accompanies a brilliantly kitted kitchen.

Settle into the snug lined with books and with its own view. Down the beamed corridor are two bedrooms: a super king and a twin with en suite shower rooms. The Hayloft adjoins the Georgian house where the owners live but you’re pretty private here, and may use the walled garden; fire up the barbecue on a summer’s evening.

Black grouse can be spotted on the local RSPB reserve; the Coast to Coast cycle route starts from the door; fell walks abound.

Reviews

Lauren, Warrington

We had a wonderful stay at The Hayloft with friends. Kirsty and Andrew were great hosts and talked us through everything we needed to know. We walked around the local area which is beautiful and had lunch at the local pub, The Bluebell, which is charming. The accommodation is very comfortable and has everything you need for a few days. Sadly, we didn’t get to meet Pele the cat but Magnus the dog was the highlight of my stay!

Gail, York

We had a wonderful stay at The Hayloft. It's quiet rural location gave us a real break from reality. Its a warm and welcoming building which it obviously takes from it's owners who really go the extra mile to make you feel at home. Lots of nice things to visit and see within a short distance ( great sections of Hadrian's Wall in particular) and Carlisle is easily accessible for those who hanker for a bit of city living. Comfortable beds, loads of hot water and a beautiful location. Everything you need really!

If you relish peace, warmth and comfort at the end and beginning of your day then the Hayloft at Cumrew House is definitely for you! Toasty log burner, comfy furniture, and nothing to see through the windows except lawn and trees. Highly recommended - a lovely place to stay - and it’s jolly clean too.

Claire & David, Bath

We have just returned from our third visit to The Hayloft within a year ! The Hayloft is a wonderful conversion, so well-appointed, spacious and cosy with the log burner. It is now our preferred Northern getaway - it used to be Perthshire, but we like the change, and the Cumbrian countryside. It is well worth the trip from Bath. We have made use of having Hadrian’s Wall so close for us to explore and also Brampton Golf Course. Great all weather tennis court as well as a beautiful walled garden (with lots of veg !) looking up to the Fell. Kit and Andrew are the most wonderful hosts.

Lynn, Morecambe

The Hayloft, Cumrew House has all the modern facilities you require, but retains a wonderful historical ambience, we loved it. It was clean and very comfortable, and wonderfully quiet at night. The owners made us very welcome and and it was for a week, a home from home. It a great base for a walking holiday, in easy reach of Hadrians Wall, with wonderful hostelries not far away.

Location

The neighbourhood

The glorious Eden Valley is just as beautiful as the Lake District but with no crowds. You can walk through the fields to the Duke of Cumberland pub for good food, or over the fells to Newbiggin. There are endless walks along the river Eden through farmland with good swimming spots. The owners' son is sous chef at the Michelin-starred Dog and Gun in Skelton, 30 minutes for a celebration meal.

Local points of interest from Andrew & Kit Hollings

  • Walk from Howtown on Ullswater, round the lake to Glenridding and take the famous Ullswater steamer back. Stunning lakeside walk with cream teas available en route! Or, for those seeking action on the water, Eden Outdoor Adventures are the folk to help.
  • Hadrians Wall is only a short drive away. Relive history with your family at nearby Birdoswald fort - the kids will love the interactive museum. Alternatively, plan to walk the wall with friends using us as a base. Ask for suggested itinerary.
  • Fancy a tour around a working mill, a river walk with a mysterious cave and a prehistoric stone circle thrown in, Little Salkeld Watermill, 20 minutes away, is the place to go. Bread courses available.
  • Take a drive, or a cycle (not for the faint-hearted!) up Hartside to Alston, the highest market town in Britain. Enjoy a feast of quirky shops, nearby Nenthead Mines for fascinating local industrial history, and a trip on a steam train.
  • Ever watched sheep race round a track, driven a mini Land Rover, dared to descend a 24 foot demon drop slide? Walby Farm Park provides bucket loads of outdoor fun, and also boasts Cumbria's largest indoor play area. It's a mere 15 minutes' drive from us.
  • Tennis courts fully refurbished in Spring 2021 for a match worthy of Wimbledon. Rackets and balls provided if required. Ball-hitting practise available with active, well-coached Hollings family members, if they're at home!

Introducing

Andrew & Kit Hollings

Kirsty (an ex-teacher) and Andrew (retired GP) fell in love with the valley and its fells, from which you can see all the way to the Solway Firth. Kirsty now works in a local museum and organises workshops for school visits locally. She's also a bit of an eco warrior and swam the river Eden from source to sea with others to try and save it from pollution.
