Four red sandstone cottages surround a courtyard in tranquil, picturesque Gamblesby, a village hidden away beneath the fells of the North Pennines just one mile from the scenic A686 which links Penrith to Northumberland via Alston. From Melmerby, where you leave the main road to come to Gamblesby, the road climbs dramatically up the fell to Hartside viewpoint 1,903 feet above sea level with spectacular views over the Eden Valley to the mountains of the Lake District National Park and southwest Scotland.

Herdwick Cottage was once the farm's granary. It sleeps two in a double bedroom with en suite bathroom, whilst Hawthorn Cottage sleeps two in a double bedroom and also has a sofa bed. All the accommodation in Hawthorn Cottage is on the ground floor. The original barn was split into two cottages and The Barn sleeps four in one double and one twin room downstairs. Upstairs is a very large open plan living room/kitchen/diner with vaulted ceilings and original beams and views of the hills. The gable end of The Barn is in the original red sandstone. Next door is Helm Cottage with a king sized bed in a bedroom/lounge with an en suite shower room upstairs. Down the spiral staircase is a large kitchen/diner. All guests have shared use of the garden and courtyard which have tables and benches. There are excellent walks to the neighbouring village of Melmerby with its famous organic Village Bakery, the Shepherd's Inn and the village shop and wine cellar. Dogs welcome at no extra charge. Short breaks starting either Friday or Monday are available all year round.
