Crake Trees Manor

Ruth and Mike Tuer’s glamorous farmhouse B&B is beautifully set in the rolling Eden Valley countryside, not far from Penrith (and handy for the M6). It’s big on boutique style – slate floors, hand-crafted oak furniture, homemade biccies by the bed, classy Aga-cooked breakfasts – and for real romantics who want to get away from it all there’s also a wonderfully cosy Shepherd’s Hut out in the meadows. Each B&B room has its own entrance and your furry companion is welcome to share the room

Here you can snuggle up in front of the woodburner and star-gaze from the verandah, padding up to the house through the grass to your own shower room, lounge and farmhouse breakfast.
