Glassonby Old Hall & Jenny's Croft

Glassonby, Cumbria

Glassonby, located in Cumbria in the North of England, offers two exceptional Grade II listed properties, Glassonby Old Hall and Jenny's Croft, both of which have received a 5 Star Gold Award. These accommodations are ideal for larger groups, as they can sleep up to 12 guests and are pet-friendly. The properties are situated near the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing stunning views and a tranquil environment for visitors looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Glassonby Old Hall is a traditional long house that retains many of its original architectural features, such as old ship timber oak beams, oak mullion windows, flagged stone floors, open fires, and stone staircases. Although it is no longer a working farm, its elevated position in the Eden Valley allows guests to enjoy breathtaking views of the Pennines and the surrounding rolling countryside, which has earned this region recognition as one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Jenny's Croft, a renovated barn dating back to the 1600s, offers a unique charm with its original features, including beams, open fireplaces, and terraced gardens. The recent renovation marks the first time this barn has been habitable since 1764, and it boasts a private entrance and parking area. Its close proximity to the Lake District National Park enhances its appeal, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers. The property is furnished with antiques and incorporates modern amenities such as solar hot water heating.

Guests at both properties can take advantage of the serene location in the quiet hamlet of Glassonby, which serves as a perfect base for exploring the outdoors. Numerous walking trails lead to notable attractions, including Lacey's Caves along the Eden River and the Long Meg Stone Circle, the second largest stone circle in England. Additionally, the nearby village of Melmerby features the acclaimed organic Village Bakery and the Shepherd's Inn Pub, offering visitors delicious food and local ales, further enhancing their stay in this picturesque part of Cumbria.
