Check-out Time: 10:00

Outside Description

Outside you have a large dining balcony with uninterupted views of the Cumbrian countryside where you can relax and read a book, punctuated with the sounds of nature or watch the night draw in and see the stars come to life like you have never seen before.

Luggage drop off by your door and parking a few short steps away and no one will know where you are, totally private.

Downstairs Description

One flight of steps takes you to the balcony overlooking the river Roe. Then through the double doors you enter a very spacious interior that is as individual as its name implies.

The open-plan living area is flooded with light during the day streaming through skylights that also allow you to gaze at the stars at night. The massive exposed beams of the roof complement the solid oak floor.

Beyond the huge open-plan living area, retreat to your cosy bedroom with super kingsize bed and sleep well.

As with the other Hall Hills cottages the Folly has solid oak floors, is WiFi enabled, has an integrated sound system, fully-equipped fitted kitchen and automated central heating.
