The rooms are tastefully furnished with original beams oak doors artworks and textiles. There are televisions and tea and coffee making facilities in the bedrooms and Wi-Fi throughout. Breakfasts are served in the large historic room where the mill wheels used to grind wheat from the Eden Valley. We offer our guests artisan bread and serve home-made preserves and locally sourced produce as far as possible.

You can go on pleasant walks along the river and in the nearby woods or to our local award winning pub The Queen's Head Tirril Rheged or the Alpaca Centre for a coffee and a bit of shopping. Your hosts are both practising artists and will be happy to show you around their studios in the garden.
