“Absolutely loved our stay at the Herdie Hideaway!”

Stunning little place to explore the lakes from. My sausage dog and I were welcomed by the delightful owner, nothing was too much trouble. The place is very well equipped with thoughtful touches. The woodburner was soooo cosy. Highly recommend this hidden gem. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Gemma for sharing your stunning hideaway with us :)

Fern October 2024

“Had a lovely stay at Herdie Hideaway!”

Gemma gave us such a warm welcome and made sure we would settle in just fine! Very short drive from Appleby town which was lovely to walk around. Ideal location! If you have a small dog that isn’t used to sheep, i recommend bringing a long lead to let them out because ours (luckily on a lead) could slip through the gate!

- Fern, October 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback:). We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Herdie Hideaway and it was great to meet you all! Property Owner
Liz October 2024

“The Herdie Hideaway is a little gem !”

Incredibly clean and well furnished the whole stay was perfect. Our host went above and beyond to make our stay a comfortable one. All round pleasure to stay. Location was perfect to visit the lakes but be far enough away from the tourist bustle. Would definitely stay again. Five out of five stars

Gemma is so friendly and accommodating We are definitely going back next year again.

Chris August 2024

“We loved our mini break at the Herdie Hideaway, we needed a little time out from our busy lives to relax and spend a little time together.”

Gemma was lovely and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our dog Bart also loved his stay here, he had freedom to roam around the grounds and enjoyed his new surroundings. We would highly recommend coming to stay at Herdie Hideaway if you need a quiet break away to recharge the batteries.

- Chris, August 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Herdie Hideaway and that you had time to relax in peace and quiet. I am also so pleased that Bart had a wonderful time! Property Owner
Donna August 2024

“Herdie Hideaway is a fabulous, little hidden gem.”

It's quaint and cosy, a gorgeous place to relax. Gemma, the host, is so friendly, very informative and at hand for any enquiries/questions/information. There's everything you need here. This was our first visit and won't be our last. Loved it!

- Donna, August 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am so pleased you love the Herdie Hideaway as much as I do! Really looking forward to seeing you all again hopefully very soon:) Property Owner
Angie August 2024

“From stepping out of the car on arrival, the setting of the Hideaway instantly eased all of the tension I was holding - it is situated in such a beautiful, private place.”

Gemma was absolutely wonderful, from even before we arrived she kept in touch and was on hand if we needed anything. The Hideaway is well presented, clean and clearly well loved, it is just beautiful (and full of sheep!). The weather was kind to us but we kind of feel like we want to come in the winter months as it is such a cosy place and the log burner looks really inviting! Everything about this place has been thought through well, the attention to detail is fantastic. Luna (labrador) has had a wonderful time making friends with the pet sheep and we have all fallen in love with Appleby which is a short drive away. We spent two days wandering along and in (the dog not us) the River Eden which is a beautiful walk, took in some local cricket matches and everywhere we went was dog friendly which is a massive bonus when you have a furry member of the family to consider. If you are looking for a break to destress and relax then the Herdie Hideaway has everything you need. A massive thank you to Gemma for welcoming us and making sure everything was just right. We have had just a perfect weekend away and couldn't have asked for anything more, we will definitely be returning in the future. Angie, Mark and Luna

- Angie, August 2024

Thank you so much Angie for the most wonderful review. We are so pleased you all had such a lovely time and loved the Herdie Hideaway and the surrounding area as much as we do. I am so Luna enjoyed herself so much making friends with the pet sheep! We really do hope to see you all again:) Property Owner

Nicola July 2024

“We have had the most wonderful week at the Herdie Hideway; a private, relaxing, idyllic base for exploring the Lake District with our two dogs.”

Appleby is lovely town and has all you need. The Herdie Hideaway is a little gem and was exactly what we wanted for our stay. I was looking for accommodation that was away from the hustle and bustle and with a private garden for our two dogs. They thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds around the Hideaway. Gemma is the perfect host; welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and you can tell she is very proud of her Hideaway holiday home and just wants you to have the best stay possible. We would definitely return here for more exploring and I’ve already recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you so much Gemma, for offering and managing such a wonderful little place!

- Nicola, July 2024

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an utter pleasure to meet you all and we are so pleased you all had such a great time:). We really hope to see you again at the Herdie Hideaway! Property Owner

“The owner, Gemma, was there to greet us and had lit the wood burner which was really appreciated.”

The location and facilities were spot on for our weekend away. Have recommended the Herdie Hideaway to various people and one of our friends has already booked for next year. Would also recommend the food at the Sandford Arms which is only a few minutes walk away.

Sandra November 2023

“A truly magical place, We had lots of rain, but it was the best experience by far that we have had on holiday with Sykes Cottages.”

Mine hosts were wonderful and very helpful when we asked for any information. We learnt about tupping sheep and watched as Gemma's husband handled them with ease. (no mean feat).The enclosed garden is a Paddock,its huge and fenced all round.Great for our two dogs both of which are nutters.The only draw back was saying goodbye.Hoping to say Hello again 2024.Sandra and Lew Wolverhampton Highly recommended .

- Sandra, November 2023

Thank you so much Sandra and Lee for your wonderful review. We really really enjoyed having you to stay and loved it you were so interested in the country way of life! We hope to see you again next year:) All the best from the Herdie Hideaway. Property Owner
Emma October 2023

“We had a great stay.”

Only wish we could’ve stayed longer. The cottage was ideally situated for the Lake District. It was fantastic for our dog to be able to run around off the lead outside. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly.

- Emma, October 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was so wonderful to meet you all. Hopefully we will see you again some soon:) x Property Owner

“Highly recommend ‘Herdie Hideaway’.”

Gemma and her family were perfect hosts, friendly and welcoming. A beautiful, peaceful getaway that was just what we needed. Our bichon was in her element with the freedom she was allowed at ‘Herdie’. We will definitely be returning. Thank you to Gemma and her mum for such a warm welcome.

Leslie October 2023

“What a perfect holiday home Herdie Hideaway is.”

Spotlessly clean,warm,inviting and comfortable. We along with our 2 dogs Skye and Merlin spent a wonderful week here. The scenery is beautiful and our sheep neighbours are so cute! Gemma the owner is an absolute star. A welcome of eggs,cake,milk and prossecco was a lovely touch. There is heating either electric or a woodburner but Herdie Hideaway is so warm we didn't use either evenwith an overnight frost. If we holiday in this area of The Lake District again Herdie Hideaway is most definitely first choice for our base. Thankyou Herdie Hideaway and thankyou Gemma. Les,Sharon, Skye and Merlin

- Leslie, October 2023

Hi Les, Sharon, Skye and Merlin, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was a joy to meet you and an utter pleasure to host you all. I really hope you do come and stay again:) Thank you again. Gemma and all the sheep! Property Owner
Douglas September 2023

“Herdie Hideaway is a small Building which is at the back of a farmhouse, it is so small there is no room for chairs so you have to sit or lie on the bed if you want to relax.”

there is a wood burning stove but we found it too hot for comfort even when the control was set to it's lowest point. I think the cottage would be a good holiday stop for younger people than me and my wife as they would probably be out walking all day and down at the pub at night, but I would not recommend it for older people. I did not meet the owner but did meet her mother who was very nice and helpful.

- Douglas, September 2023

Many thanks for your review and I am sorry that I wasn’t able to meet with you personally. We would urge all potential guests to look on the website at photos of the Herdie Hideaway. Please note there are 4 chairs in the Herdie Hideaway. 2 chairs each side of the bed and 2 stools at the dining table. There are also 2 directors chairs provided for outside. We recommend when using the fire and only want a little heat to use a very small amount of wood on the lowest setting. There is also an option of a heater in the Herdie Hideaway. I will pass on your compliments to Mum. All the best. Gemma Property Owner

“Gemma is a lovely host and nothing was a bother for her.”

Lots of personal touches and even a little birthday card and gift when she heard it was my birthday! Fantastic for humans and dogs. The fenced exercise area and large choice of walks from the property was fantastic. Within walking distance of a lovely local pub. Highly recommended.

- Michelle, August 2023

Brad August 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay at the herdie hideaway.”

Gemma was an amazing host, fresh eggs, cake and prosecco when we arrived was a lovely surprise. The hideaway was exactly what we wanted from a getaway for a few days, very peaceful and quiet, with plenty of farm life and lots of beautiful walks along the river. The enclosed space meant we could let our dogs off the lead confident of them not escaping which gave them freedom to explore the big area too. We would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a lovely stay away to relax!

- Brad, August 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It was a pleasure having you all to stay and do hope we see you again! Thank you again:) Property Owner

Melissa July 2023

“This place was so peaceful, and just what we needed for a few days.”

We went on some lovely walks, despite the weather and can recommend a sunday lunch at the Sandford Arms. Our 2 dogs loved running around in all the outdoor space. Gemma adds some great personal touches such as eggs from her chickens and a bottle of prosecco. Great for couples that just want to get away from it all like we did.

Hi Mel, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure having you to stay and so pleased you and the doggies enjoyed the Herdie Hideaway:) Property Owner

“Had an amazing holiday Gemma’s welcoming touches greatly appreciated the eggs were amazing.”

Perfect location with gorgeous riverside walk on the door step. Safe secure grounds to allow our dogs plenty of freedom, they absolutely loved the fields and gardens. A truly hidden gem, so quiet but perfect in every way. The Hideaway itself has everything you need, clean, comfortable and modern. Thank you so much for making our holiday so perfect Gemma.

- Angela, June 2023

Sally June 2023

“If you're looking for a lovely little hideaway then this is the place to go.”

Its located in a beautiful secluded spot. The hideaway was small but it had anything we needed, the outside space was also secure for our dog so we didn't have to worry. Gemma was very welcoming and we had fresh eggs, milk and prosecco waiting for us on arrival. There are plenty of places to visit and lots of walks. The local pub was 10 minutes walk away and the food was lovely. We will definitely be visiting again - thank you

Hi Sally, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased you had a lovely time and so nice to meet you all. Hopefully see you again:) Property Owner
Nicola May 2023

“Excellent find, in a beautiful and secluded place.”

There is no doubt the accommodation is small (but so are diamonds!) but we had everything we needed. The owner was very welcoming and generous (prosecco and freshly laid eggs. Lovely walking nearby, peaceful and quiet, we sat watching a family of rabbits whilst eating breakfast outside in the sunshine. Cooking facilities are minimal but the local pub food was good. We will definitely be looking to visit again. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and really hope we see you both again:) Property Owner
Carolyn May 2023

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Great location, nice walks and pub nearby. Felt remote but also well connected, being close to the A66. Host was very friendly and helpful. We didn’t have a dog, but I can imagine it’s perfect if you do, with the enclosed garden. Thinking of booking up again for the summer. Great little find, highly recommend!

- Carolyn, May 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We really enjoyed having you both to stay and really hope we get to see you again later on in the year:) Property Owner
Ally May 2023

“If you’re looking for an idyllic cosy hideaway in a tranquil setting then this is the place to go.”

If you hate your partner and want to party, this ain’t the one. We have 2 large dogs and it accommodated us - It is small and therein lies its charm. We opened the fridge to find Prosecco, milk and we were stocked with wood and cake! The fire puts out serious heat so no worries there either. What more could you ask for? But there was more! Our boxer and GSD loved the paddock. They really made themselves at home and enjoyed all the space. I was over the moon when I got to feed the lambs and fell in love with Gemma’s horse - the most handsome boy. Gemma is an amazing host - the best we’ve met so far. Friendly but unobtrusive. We can’t wait to return and were sad to leave.

- Ally, May 2023

Thank you so so much for your wonderful review. We so enjoyed having you to stay and so did all the animals, especially Bernard! I really hope we see you and your gorgeous doggies when you are Mr and Mrs:) x Property Owner
Jacquie May 2023

“Gemma is lovely and the little extras provided I.”

E tea, coffee, milk, Prosecco etc were really appreciated and a wonderful surprise. The Hideaway is gorgeous and great to have a secure paddock for the dogs. A little bit small for us with three dogs in tow but will definitely try to return for another short break

- Jacquie, May 2023

Thank you so much Jacquie for your lovely review. We really enjoyed meeting you all and so pleased you had such a good time. Really hope to see you both again when you are Mr and Mrs:) Property Owner
Ellie May 2023

“Herdie Hideaway is an absolute delight!”

We had a fantastic 5 day break, everything we could have wished for and more. Our 2 Shepherds loved the large enclosed garden(as did we!). Fantastic location for hiking in the Lakes and exploring the local area too. Great pub 5 minutes walk away which is always an added bonus! We will absolutely be back in the near future. Thank you so much Gemma for being such a lovely host!

- Ellie, May 2023
James April 2023

“We had a fabulous stay, the Herdie Hideaway had everything you need for a short break plus some really lovely welcome extras that Gemma had arranged for us.”

Eggs from her chickens, milk, indulgent cakes and a bottle of fizz, really nice touches. The sheep themed cottage was quaint and was well equipped. We stayed 5 nights and ventured out daily for different activities in the lakes and surrounding areas. Places we visited were: Ullswater, parking in the main car park in Glenridding we walked around the lake up to the Aira Force waterfall and then hopped on the 20 min ferry ride back to Glenridding Fell foot, at lake windermere where we hired a rowing boat, we have a very large German Shepherd dog and there were no issues taking him with us to enjoy the activity. We walked around the meadow walking route (short walk) and had a lovely cuppa and cake at the cafe before heading back through some of the local villages of Appleby & Kendal on the way. Bowness, at lake windermere, hired an electric boat and headed right into the middle of the lake. Had lunch a chippy lunch at Driftwood, the gentleman server recommended a walk on the opposite side of the lake (much quieter and less touristy). About a 10-15 walk from the main car park is the car ferry which takes 10 mins to cross to the other side. Only £1 each for pedestrians and the dog went free From here we walked to Wray Castle and back Whitlatte Forestry Centre, renowned for red squirrels, sadly we didn't see any, but we do have a large dog so maybe that kept them away. Food at the cafe was lush! On the way home we stopped by Ingleton waterfalls. This is a one way 4.5mile walk around the 6 waterfalls and was well worth the visit and would highly recommend. Gemma, the owner of Herdie Hideaway was the perfect host, really welcoming on arrival but not in anyway obtrusive during our stay and was very relaxed about having our dog around despite the sheep being in lamb In short- Gorgeous location, lovely host, very enjoyable stay.

- James, April 2023
Anna April 2023

“The little house is charming and equipped with everything you need for a holiday.”

Very quiet and relaxing place. Plenty of outdoor space for dogs. The owner lit a fire in the fireplace for our arrival and gave us a very warm welcome. Accommodation absolutely highly recommended! A great starting point for the surrounding mountain trails. In the near walk distance there is a very nice pub with tasty food and nearby is a very pretty little town Appleby-in-Westmorland on the River Eden, worth visiting and doing local shopping. I recommend a visit to the tourist information in the center.

Gill April 2023

“What an amazing place in the right location and Gemma and family were very helpful when needed.”

Laura March 2023

“Herdie Hideaway was amazing, exactly as shown and just perfect for our stay.”

Gemma is brilliant, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Our dog barks at strangers especially near where he is staying, Gemma was so understanding and patient with him, even providing an outside tap and sponge etc to clean him after our long muddy walk. The house has everything you need, the bed is really comfy and the stove is really good, we had plenty of lovely meals while staying there. The location is perfect for walks, we split our time between local walks and venturing out in the car to Penrith, Barnard Castle and Keswick. Would definitely recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back for another stay.

- Laura, March 2023

Thank you so much for your glowing review. It was a pleasure having you all to stay in the Herdie Hideaway and we do hope to see you again:) Property Owner
Julianne March 2023

“Our stay was just amazing.”

It was nice and cosy and just enough space for me and my partner and our two fur-babies. We had everything we need for our short stay and Gemma was a lovely host. Gave us cake and fizz and had the open fire ready nice and warm for our arrival. The grounds around the property is quiet and peaceful. A big enclosed space for our dogs to have a good run around and play. Would definitely recommend and would even stay again. Only downside was the weather so next time we will be booking during the sunny days as it’s not far of a drive to attractions like the Lakes and hiking areas.

Tracy March 2023

“The hideaway was really lovely, it was a bit on the small side for myself husband and 2 fur babies, but when i pack I take everything but the kitchen sink.”

The outside space for the dogs is amazing so much area to run around in, just be aware if they are small as ours got under the fences in certain areas. The hideaway is very central for visiting different places, we were looked after by the hosts mum (Judith) and she was fab nothing was too much trouble. On arrival the host (Gemma) had left a bottle of bubbly homemade cake, also because it was my birthday a card and a box of chocolates such a lovely touch, so thoughtful

Rachel November 2022

“We stayed at Herdie Hideaway for my birthday with our dog Bruno.”

The place was beautiful and well secured which is what attracted us so we could let Bruno explore without any worries. Gemma (the host) was so welcoming when we arrived and was happy to meet Bruno. She even surprised me with a birthday card and chocolates which was very kind of her. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed during our stay so there was no need for us to bring it all with us. We enjoyed the scenery so much, being able to explore the land around us and even watching the sheep from our window, they’re very cute! We really enjoyed relaxing and how peaceful it was, especially as we stayed here to get away from the fireworks and it was absolute bliss! We would 100% love to come back sometime!

- Rachel, November 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We so enjoyed having you to stay and to meet the gorgeous Bruno. I am so pleased you had a great birthday and do hope to see you all again soon:) Property Owner
Nicole November 2022

“My partner and I had the most wonderful stay at Herdie Hideaway!”

! The cottage/cabin has everything you need and it's so warm and cosy.... The pictures don't give it justice!! Gemma our host, was so, so lovely and gave us a very warm welcome. She provided several little surprises to, which were homemade cake, fresh eggs, milk and a bottle of bubbly. My partner and I got engaged during our stay and as soon as Gemma heard, she brought us flowers, chocolates and a card - Such a lovely gesture!! We stayed for 3 nights, starting on the 01st of Nov and explored lots of neighbouring places. This included Keswick, Kendal, Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, as well as lots of nearby walks/hikes. It also has loads of nearby pubs and restaurants, which do take away, if you every want to curl up by the fire in the cabin, for a romantic night in.... Herdie Hideaway is great proximity to everything, whilst still avoiding the crowds and is an ideal place if you have a dog and like to go on walks!! Can't recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back in the future!!

- Nicole, November 2022

Hi Nikki, Reece and Bear, Thank you so so much for your lovely feedback. I feel really privileged to be a tiny part in your engagement! We are so pleased you had such a great time at the Herdie Hideaway:) We really hope to see you again in the future. Huge congratulations again! Property Owner

“Just what we wanted and more!”

The Herdie Hideaway way the perfect place for a short break for us and our 10 month old puppy. The Hideaway was beautifully furnished (the sheep theme is a lovely touch) and had everything you could need, not forgetting the bubbles provided on arrival which was a lovely surprise. The log burner made everything so cosy and the owners were on hand whenever needed for wood and anything you might need. Nothing was too much trouble. Our puppy had the best time with the huge enclosed garden for him to run wild without us having to worry about him. Thank you so much Gemma, we will definitely be back.

- Callum, October 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased you had such a great time at the Herdie Hideaway. Love it you liked the sheep theme! We hope to see you all again soon:). Property Owner

Samantha October 2022

“My husband, our little dog, Lady and Myself, booked for 4 nights at the Heardie Hideaway.”

From the very beginning, to the very end of our stay, it was perfect! The location in Warcop is absolutely idyllic. Very quiet, and off the beaten track, with lush green fields all around. Gemma, our lovely Host, was there to greet us. Nothing was too much trouble! Milk, fresh eggs, Prosecco and yummy cake, were waiting for us, in the lodge! Very nice touch… Gemma even very kindly, left Me a Birthday card and cake for my special day!! The place itself is beautiful! Very quaint! It’s compact, but was absolutely fine for our needs. It is decorated to a very high standard. Lovely comfy bed and a cosy wood burner, made this feel like a home from home… Fantastic country pub just up the road, The Sandford Arms served delicious food! Lots to see in the locale. Appleby is delightful! Managed to visit Penrith as well. If you are looking for a ‘get away from it all’ stay, I can absolutely recommend this little gem! Well done, Gemma! The Heardie Hideaway is a credit to you, and we hope to return.

- Samantha, October 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review:) It was a utter pleasure having you to stay and on your birthday too! We do hope to see you again:) (I need more Lady cuddles!) Property Owner
Diane September 2022

“Made very welcome by the owners who also left lots of extras for us to enjoy.”

Mattress really comfy, everything spotless. Garden so big and fenced off for the dogs to enjoy. Very private and quiet but owners on hand if needed. The shower is a little slow but not a big problem. Local pub had good beer and food but also liked the Taggy Man pub in Kirkby Stephen, also the Indian take away was excellent. Lots of places to visit in the car. Had a lovely day in Keswick. A big thank you to Gemma and her sister for letting us stay in this beautiful little hideaway, we will see you again.

Jordon August 2022

“We had a lovely time whilst staying here, there is plenty of space and it is private.”

We booked it due to reading over reviews about the fenced off garden and it really did not disappoint. Our Shepherd is reactive and being able to have him off the lead without worry was perfect. There was so much space for him to roam and all the fences were perfect for a dog his size. There is also other fields attached where you can walk your dogs on the lead. Gemma was a brilliant host, we used her welcome book to go on a local walk, local Indian and even went for a run. I would definitely recommend.

- Jordon, August 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We really enjoyed hosting you both and the gorgeous Toto and so pleased you had such a good time:) Property Owner

“Myself, my partner and our 3 dogs recently stayed over at the Herdie Hideaway and it was an absolutely fantastic stay!”

The room had everything you could possibly need, plenty of space and the cleanliness was perfect. The owner was very welcoming, there to help with any queries but all whilst making sure you were given your own space to relax and enjoy your holiday. The setting is lovely, only 0.5 miles away from a dog friendly pub and if the weather is on your side you can enjoy a beautiful sunset from the comfort of the table and chairs outside the lodge. Can't recommend the Herdie Hideaway enough, will definitely visit again in the future, thank you again for a wonderful stay!

“What a outstanding location.”

Gemma the perfect host. On arrival the property was at a high standard. Gemma had left some essentials to start out visit , which was a pleasant surprise. She welcomed all including our cockapoo ALFIE. The property was all secure so our dog could just run about, he loved it. We were allowed to use our portable barbecue, which was great having the good weather we had. We also took a stroll down to the local Sanford Arms only a 10min walk. On the second night there,we saw the perfect sunset the sky was red, totally stunning. The Wi-Fi was a good reception no problem at all, so even though there was no TV, easy to watch live TV on our I-pads to close the night. Our wee cockapoo made friends with Gladys the wee lamb, amazing to see. We would highly recommend a stay here and will be definitely be back to relax in the Herdie Hideaway.

Amy June 2022

“Herdie Hideaway is just the perfect retreat!”

We felt privileged to be some of the first guests to stay at Herdie Hideaway and arrived to find it absolutely spotless and so inviting! Gemma is absolutely lovely and could not have been more welcoming! She greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the cottage. We really appreciated this as sometimes it can take a while to find things and decipher instructions. Gemma left fresh milk, tea, coffee and even a bottle of fizz for us to start our wedding celebrations early, and her Mom made us a beautiful cake - so lovely and unexpected! The location is just beautiful, with plenty of scenic walks and things to do near by. Our favourite part of our stay was sitting out on the patio in the evening, watching the sun set and the sheep play in the field next to us - they're so friendly and inquisitive! We booked our stay here to break up the journey up to Scotland; we will definitely return here and possibly for a longer stay as we enjoyed it so much and didn't get to experience everything we'd hoped to in the local area.

- Amy, June 2022

Hi Amy, Thank you so much for your feedback. We loved having you all to stay and huge congratulations on your wedding:). We do hope to see you again sometime. Many thanks Gemma Property Owner

“Fantastic place to stay, immaculate and well equipped.”

Absolutely beautiful surroundings! The hideaway is surrounded by fields which our Labrador absolutely loved & the view of the sunset at night is spectacular. The owners were very attentive, friendly and took time to make sure that everything was ok. The location is remote which is exactly what we wanted, a very peaceful stay. I can already tell that this is going to be a very popular place to stay! Also, if you are lucky enough to meet Gladice the pet lamb she is an absolute sweetheart! Thank you so much Gemma!

- Gemma, May 2022

Hi Gemma, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to have you and your gorgeous Labrador to stay in The Herdie Hideaway. Hopefully see you again! Property Owner

About the location

APPLEBY-IN-WESTMORLAND

Penrith 14 miles.

The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
