Stop Press:

Our large house for 14, Rock House Farm, was water damaged due to a burst pipe but has had major renovation and is operational again.
It is much improved. It has a new kitchen. The 'Bunk Bedroom' now has a double bed and 2 single beds instead of a double and 2 bunk beds. Several stone walls have been repointed instead of being replastered. The Sitting Room has a 32" TV with FreeSat satellite channels (including BBC HD and ITV HD). The Lounge TV has the free SKY satellite channels.

We have always been keen on environmental issues and recently joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme. We are pleased to say that the result of our first inspection was a Silver Award (Gold/Silver/Bronze).

Nentside Barn has a 32" TV with FreeSat satellite channels (including BBC HD and ITV HD).

The North Pennines is a relatively unknown area, but the scenery is fantastic. The Rock House Estate is about 100 acres between Alston & Nenthead.

This is an area for outdoor activities - you can put on your walking boots and walk from the cottage! but there are also lots of places to visit. When you are out and about there are plenty of places to eat ranging from cafes & pubs to excellent restaurants.

We have 5 country cottages ranging from a cosy cottage for 2 up to a farmhouse for 14. For full details about a cottage, just click on the appropriate part of the picture below!

Writers Cottage is a cosy cottage for two with a four poster bed and a corner spa bath.

Sunrise, which is for four, also has a four poster bed and an en-suite bathroom. There is also a sauna.

Ramblers Rest sleeps 5 to 7 - a double bedroom and a bedroom with 3 singles. A double sofa bed in the lounge sleeps an extra 2. Ramblers Rest has the added attraction of a sauna.

Nentside Barn sleeps 5 to 7 - like Ramblers Rest it has a double bedroom, a bedroom with 3 singles, and a double sofa bed in the lounge.

Rock House Farm sleeps upto 14. It is a large house with a big lounge and a sitting room. The dining room has a large table that seats 14.

Nentside Barn, Ramblers Rest and Writers Cottage are close together and together can sleep up to 16. Nentside Barn has a table that can be extended to seat 14. So for large groups they are a good alternative to Rock House Farm which sleeps 14.

For really large groups, all 5 cottages can sleep up to 34!

We believe in looking after the environment and have joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme. They carry out 'green' audits of businesses grading them bronze, silver, or gold. On our first audit we have achieved a Silver!
