Accommodation overview: Elk Cottage details
Elk Cottage is a 4 Star Gold Award winning restoration of a Grade II listed traditional sandstone barn located in the quiet hamlet of Glassonby in the middle of the Eden Vally. Access to the rolling hills of the Eden Valley and its numerous nearby walks is one of the best features of this cosy cottage.
The recent renovation of Elk Cottage, Jenny's Croft and Glassonby Old Hall dating back to the 1600s, bring these 4 and 5 Star Gold Award winning barns and traditional Cumbrian long house back into habitation for the first time since 1764. They retain many of their original features including old ship timber oak beams, oak mullion windows, flagged stone floors, open fireplaces, stone staircases, stone walls, arched openings, original old fashioned door heights (some low) and terraced gardens and fields. All three properties are furnished throughout with antiques and incorporate solar water heating.
Though Elk Cottage is no longer part of a working farm, its position on one of the higher hills in the Eden Valley gives its gardens amazing views towards the Pennines and the rolling countryside that has seen this area in Cumbria declared one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elk Cottage is dog friendly and the gardens and grounds surrounding this cottage provide plenty of room for running around.
There are some great walks starting from the front door of Elk Cottage including a walk along from Dale Raven along the banks of the River Eden, a walk to Lacey's Caves along the Eden River, a walk to the Long Meg Stone Circle (the second largest in England) and to the charming nearby Cumbrian village of Melmerby, where the nationally acclaimed organic Village Bakery and the Shepherd's Inn Pub provide great food and local beers (Dorris' 90th Birthday ale is highly recommended).
There is a village shop 1.5 miles from Glassonby in Kirkoswald which also has two local pubs. Bicycles, locks and helmets are available for hire on site. Cycling route maps provided and Glassonby is located along the popular C2C cycle route as well as having many quiet lanes in the local area which are ideal for cyclists.
