Stouphill Gate

Description

Stouphill Gate is a traditional old Cumbrian farmstead, and the holiday accommodation has been formed from the older parts of the property retaining much of the original character whilst benefiting from all of the modern conveniences. The owners live adjacent and are happy to assist guests in any way during their stay. All of our holiday rooms enjoy spectacular views across the countryside.

There are two bed and breakfast rooms and both have double beds and en-suite bathrooms. They occupy the space between the old farmhouse (now the holiday cottage) and the newer farmhouse. Like the holiday cottage the bed and breakfast rooms are finished to a high standard with colour televisions and beverage facilities, ample wardrobe space and a built-in dressing table with drawers. The rooms are centrally heated and the bathrooms have ample hot water.

Both bed and breakfast rooms share the quiet lounge, which is located in the main farmhouse. Here guests can relax thumbing through a book by the cosy heating stove or plan the next day's activities using the leaflets and guide books on the shelves. There is also a cupboard with games and jigsaws for those so inclined. This room is also where you will be greeted with cake and a beverage on arrival and where a hearty Aga cooked breakfast is served in the mornings. The home made bread and jams are a real treat.

As with the holiday cottage guests are free to use the external facilities and for those who may arrive by bicycle secure storage can be arranged over night as required.

Evening meals are available in all three local pubs, the closest is within walking distance, and Kirkby Stephen with its fish and chip shops, pubs etc is only five miles away.

At Stouphill Gate all our guests can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome and lots of peace and tranquillity.
