Holme Lea - Welcome to the delightful unspoilt Eden Valley in Cumbria, an area of outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity within easy reach of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines.
Situated within the Cumbrian Village of Kirkby Thore is Holme Lea, a modern detached bungalow standing in its own enclosed garden offering self-catering holiday accommodation sleeping up to four adults.
The bungalow has a good sized lounge and dining room with a sun lounge / breakfast room off it, two comfortable twin-bedded bedrooms, bathroom with full sized bath and shower over. The kitchen has been refitted, and has a fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.
The accommodation is all on one level, making it ideal for those who have difficulty with stairs.
The lounge contains a good library, with books, maps and board games. There is an open coal fire for comfort on cooler days, with main heating being provided by electric storage heaters. The cost of heating and of bedding is included in the rental.
There is a garage / store and off street parking for two cars. The
garden is enclosed and is suitable for well behaved pets. Guests are
requested to refrain from smoking in the bungalow.
The village of Kirkby Thore is relatively undisturbed by tourist pressures, yet is just 25 minutes drive from Ullswater in the Lake District, and a little further to all the other Lake District attractions.
The shop/Post Office (hot snacks) is 40yds away. Fast food outlets in Appleby will deliver to the village. There are attractive pubs nearby.
For walkers and cyclists there are many enjoyable routes close to the village, and for gardeners a trip to the nearby National Trust property Acorn Bank is a must!
Just four miles away is the delightful market town of Appleby in Westmorland, famous for its traditional horse fair held annually in June. Beyond Appleby is Kirkby Stephen and the high Yorkshire Dales.
The historic City of Carlisle with its Cathedral, Castle and shopping centre is about half an hour's drive away, and Hadrian's Wall Country is close by.
Appleby is a good place to join the Settle and Carlisle Railway for the picturesque journey to Settle and back.
Or you can take a leisurely drive over the Hartside Pass from Penrith
to Hexham, which is designated as one of the most beautiful routes in
Europe.
