Cranesbill cottage
Morland Eden Valley Cumbria
Located in the Eden Valley in the County of Cumbria, our two bedroom cottage is set over two floors in a compact and cozy barn conversion, built in 1781. The cottage provides a place to escape the city, work from home or simply relax while exploring the Valley, Lakeland Fells to the west,
The Pennines to the east and Scottish borders. Ideal for hikers and guests that appreciate a rural setting.
Welcome to Cranesbill
Cranesbill is one of three small cottages in the barn conversion, located in a small hamlet on a quiet road leading to Morland Village, which lies in the Historic county of Westmorland. The surrounding area is home to an abundance of wildlife, public footpaths and working farms.
