Brownber House

Brownber House: Cumbria

Overlooking the Howgill Fells, guests lucky enough to stay at Brownber House will be delighted by the tranquil setting and cosy interiors. Recently renovated by Georgina Rose, a former architect and interior designer at Soho House, this home now boasts a look that is both traditional and yet, totally contemporary for a most relaxing trip to the Lakes or Dales of Yorkshire. Welcoming up to eight people, this is a great crowd-pleasing choice for a larger family or a group of friends in need of some downtime in the countryside, without having to give up on any of the usual mod-con luxuries. You’re even allowed to bring a well-behaved pet on this trip. Spend your days enjoying long country walks, making yourself at home in front of the warming wood-burning stove, treating yourself to a relaxing bubble bath in the freestanding tub, or preparing group meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. Brownber House has been designed with you in mind, so comfort is at the forefront here. Whether it's the welcome hamper of freshly-baked sourdough, a jar of award-winning marmalade and homemade cakes and biscuits or the local food deliveries that can be ordered straight to your door – from longhorn beef bourguignon to home-cooked pasta – everything is right at your fingertips. And after an explorative day at the Yorkshire Dales National Park, only a seventeen-minute drive away, there's nothing better than a delicious meal brought straight to your dining table. Or else, fire up the barbecue and cook for yourself out in the private garden, before toasting a few marshmallows around the firepit and reliving the best parts of your rural getaway.
