Accommodation
We are a little out in the sticks, (everything will be a drive away) that is part of the beauty of our venue, but there is plenty of lovely accommodation in the area and we are happy to help organise transport for our guests back to your accommodation at the end of the night!
Brampton or Carlisle are good areas to aim for and are only a 20 minute drive away.
We recently went to The Fleece in Ruleholme for lunch. It has recently been refurbished and the rooms looked lovely!
It's around 15 mins drive from the venue: thefleeceruleholme.com/
