The place

A real wellies-and-walking sticks sort of place, where the timeless feel of farm country and the freedom of rural Cumbria will send you marching out across the hills. The spacious house has undergone a loving renovation that makes it perfect for sociable cooking and dining, with the dogs getting underfoot and the conversation flowing between rooms. If you don’t feel like cooking then you can order superb home-cooked from the owners commercial kitchen or head out to one of the many dog-friendly pubs in the area. There are great local walks and both The Dales and The Lakes are within reach, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to getting outdoors and earning that afternoon nap by the fire.

In the neighbourhood

  • The Lake District is just to the west of you, but local walks like the route round Ravenstonedale and Smardale that takes you over the viaduct are well worth exploring
  • Also in Ravenstonedale, The Black Swan and King’s Head pubs are both dog-friendly and (unsurprisingly) well stocked with local beers and great food
  • Two classic long distance footpaths – the Coast to Coast and the Dales High Way - run right past Brownber House. There are bag carrying companies who can ship your stuff to your destination if you’re going point to point
  • The area is one of the darkest sky areas in England, which means great opportunities for stargazing – particularly up on the fell behind the Hall
  • Cyclists can explore fantastic routes and challenging climbs such as Tan Hill or the Lakes & Dales Loop. There's safe storage for bikes in the basement
  • There are plenty of opportunities for wild swimming in the various lakes and rivers, so make sure you keep your gear handy, unless you think you can get away with a skinny dip!
