Daw Bank Cottage is a self catering holiday cottage in Cumbria to sleep 5. A non-smoking, pet-friendly holiday retreat, excellent for touring, walking and cycling.

It is part of the hamlet of Greenholme, just north of Tebay Gorge in the Howgill Fells and not far from Orton, in a small rural farming community and surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The cottage is an 18th century barn converted to "upside down" design, and the living room windows afford views of the Howgills, the Lune Valley and the famous Shap gradient of the main West Coast railway line.

This unspoilt area is within easy reach of the northern Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden Valley.

Prices start at £350 for 7 nights Friday to Friday, but you can book for a shorter break (plus £20 changeover fee). Go to our Bookings page for more details.
