2 traditional cottages on working hill farm offering a unique and stunning Lakeland holiday

The Hartsop Hall Estate is situated in the midst of some of the most majestic fells in the Lake District, at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass, close to Brothers Water. It is a 3000 acre property with a flock of mostly Swaledale sheep and Aberdeen Angus cattle. Here are to be found two traditional cottages spectacularly situated on this working hill farm, offering guests a unique Lakeland experience. The two cottages, Caudale Beck and Dovedale, are both idyllically situated on the farm, offering a truly “off the beaten track” holiday.
