Photos and Description of the Cumbria - Lake District vacation barn rental 4 comfortable holiday cottages: 3 for 2 people , 1 for 4 person

The tranquil, picturesque, unspoilt village of Gamblesby is hidden away beneath the fells of the North Pennines just one mile away from the scenic A686, which links Penrith to Northumberland via Alston, England's highest market town. From Melmerby, where you leave the main road to come to Gamblesby, the road climbs dramatically up the fell to Hartside viewpoint 1903 feet above sea level with spectacular views over the Eden Valley to the mountains of the Lake District National Park and even southern Scotland. Gamblesby itself is in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which ensures that the village, with its tinkling streams, wide village greens and wealth of red sandstone buildings, will be protected log after it has finally been discovered.

Perfektes Ferien-Zuhause für Naturliebhaber

Tini&Bastl Pforzheim/Nürnberg, Deutschland
Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Helm Cottage war zwei Wochen lang ein herrlich ruhiges, gemütliches, exzellent ausgestattetes Ferien-Zuhause für uns. Die Lage ist etwas abseits des Trubels, was besonders angesichts der im Sommer recht bevölkerten Lakes eine Wohltat war. Als Ausgangspunkt für Touren mit dem Auto ist Gamblesby optimal, auch die im Cottage bereitgehaltene Info zu Wanderungen waren sehr hilfreich (die beste Wanderung war die zu den Steinkreisen von Long Meg. So abwechslungsreich! Wald, Wiesen, Flüsse, Blumen, alte Industriedenkmäler, neolithische Steinmonumente, die alte Kirche St. Michael's, Kühe, Felder, einfach super!). Genausogut kann man aber Mark (der perfekt deutsch spricht, für deutsche Urlauber also ideal) oder Pat fragen, wenn man einen guten Tipp braucht. Die beiden nehmen sich Zeit und teilen ihre Geheimtipps gerne mit ihren Gästen, die sie sehr herzlich und unkompliziert, dabei absolut unaufdringlich willkommen heißen.
Kaum ein Ziel erschien uns von dort zu weit, bis nach Edinburgh und Rosslyn Chapel, in die Yorkshire Dales (James Herriot), Preston (National Football Museum!) und sogar zu einer Stippvisite ins alte Seebad Blackpool haben wir es geschafft. Die Pennines, an deren Fuß Gamblesby liegt, erschienen uns aufgrund ihrer unberührten Schönheit fast noch ein bisschen schöner als die Lakes selber, in jedem Fall aber bietet die Umgebung für jeden Geschmack etwas, ob man nun pure Ruhe sucht oder sich bewegen möchte. In zwei Wochen kann man zwar einiges erleben, aber zurückkommen würden wir jederzeit, denn alles haben wir noch nicht gesehen. Auch im Winter muss es sehr reizvoll sein.
Das Cottage selbst war sehr nett und sauber eingerichtet, sodass es auch schön war, dort Zeit mit kochen, lesen, Ausflugplanung und entspannen zu verbringen. Am Tollsten: morgens bei offenen Fenstern der Stille gemischt mit gelegentlichem Pferdewiehern und Hahnkrähen zuhören...
Wir würden Churchcourt Cottages jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Helm Cottage ist für Paare sehr gut geeignet, optimal für Naturliebhaber mit und ohne Hund.
Owner's Response: Wir haben uns dieses Jahr besonders gefreut, daß so viele Gäste aus Deutschland zu uns gekommen sind. Während viele englische Gäste ausschliesslich nur die Lakes besuchen, sind Besucher aus Deutschland und Australien viel unternehmungslustiger. Mit Recht auch - in Nordengland gibt es sehr viel zu erleben.
Gamblesby findet man in keinem Reiseführer. Da das Dorf 2km von der Hauptstraße liegt, kommt auch keiner hierher durch Zufall. Aber einmal hier hat man ein schönes ruhiges Dorf, zentral gelegen in Nordengland als Ausgangspunkt für viele abwechlungsreiche Tagesausflüge.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch und helfen Ihnen gerne Ihre Urlaub in Nordengland gründlich zu genießen.
