“Nestled in the hills of Eskdale, this feels like a proper escape, particularly appealing given the self-catering kitchen and grounds that welcome dogs. The generous room sizes, combined with the architecture and views, give it a character beyond the price point; it's more like a private hostel experience, with the advantage of comfortable rooms.”
