The Cottage Hartley

The Cottage is situated in the quaint, rural hamlet of Hartley, just 3/4 mile walk from the popular Cumbrian town of Kirkby Stephen. The Cottage accommodates 4 people comfortably with two bedrooms and there is a double sofa bed in the living room should you need extra sleeping space. We would love to know their names! Treat yourself to a digital detox as there is no Wi-Fi here at The Cottage. The

phone signal is good and you can get 4G in some parts of the house if you need a fix. Free Wi-Fi is available at some coffee shops in Kirkby Stephen. Hartley has an abundance of red squirrels, pheasants and small birds that are often found passing through the back garden of the cottage. Look out for the parrots!
