The Haystore at The Green Cumbria

Step inside to a light open-plan living area with a slate fireplace, wood-burner, comfy sofas and a high vaulted ceiling. Views from every window are of the wild hillsides stretching into the distance, where wild fell ponies and sheep munch and red squirrels bound – this is totally unspoilt countryside. The kitchen has all a cook might need and there’s a big table for sociable meals. An interconnecting door to The Byre means you can take both for a party of eight and there’s plenty of room, including a mezzanine.

The two lovely bedrooms are downstairs with super king size zip and link doubles (which can be twins), crisp cotton, plump bedding and bathrooms with local soaps. Colours are inspired by your surroundings, the feel is calm and warm. Spend light summer evenings eating on the outdoor terrace.

You can walk across fields or down a quiet lane to award-winning pubs. You’ll find a generous welcome basket upon arrival.
