Curlew Lodge, Kirkby Stephen

Sleeps up to 6
Pets 1
Hot Tub
Bedrooms: 3

Curlew Lodge is a luxury real log cabin sleeping up to 6 guests set within 7 acres of landscaped private grounds in Ravenstonedale, Cumbria. Just 1¼ miles from a pub and restaurant and close to the historic market town of Kirkby Stephen, it feels remote but isn't. This is an eco-stay property powered by an air source heat pump with a natural borehole water supply.

The grounds are genuinely special. Mature woodland, a wildlife pond, a small stream and a large field where sheep and spring lambs graze surround the lodge. Red squirrels, wild rabbits and curlew are regularly spotted. Bird tables and feeders are dotted throughout.
