About the host
Hosted by Sandra Morfett-Murdock
We have lived in Cumbria for over 20 years having moved from Cheshire for work and fell in love with this beautiful area. It has been a fantastic place to bring up our family, giving us amazing opportunities on our doorstep. We are now retired and the children have flown the nest. We still love where we are and it is great to welcome returning and new guests alike to our lovely cottage and even better when they enjoy this perfect piece of England as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We were looking for a lifestyle choice in rural Cumbria and found it in Skelton. An unspoiled village with easy access to the lakes and fells and local towns including Penrith and Carlisle.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is very well located to access the Northern lakes and fells and the local gateway towns of Penrith and Keswick are within a short drive. We have many repeat visitors who love the convenience of the area and the peacefulness of being away from the crowds. Our Village pub, the Dog and Gun, boasts a Michelin star and has won many awards for their superb food.. Penrith our local town is relatively unspoiled with a variety of independent shops and traders. It has an "old style” independent cinema too which is well worth a visit. The area is great for cycling and you can be underneath Blencathra before you know it on an afternoon or evening cycle ride. Also we have a couple of "open air lidos" nearby - summer only!
