Brookside Cottage is a wonderful 3-bedroom cottage that overlooks Maulds Meaburn village green, where you can collect conkers from the ancient Chestnut trees in Autumn or watch a Heron diving for fish in the lovely Lyvennet river, which winds lazily right through the village. Perhaps a horse and trap trundling past on a summer evening. Springtime is uniquely special; listen to the sheep and bounding lambs as they roam free range on the green.
If required, the self-catering holiday cottage benefits from a parking space to the front with additional unrestricted parking on the lane. To the rear is a spacious garden area surrounded by farmland. Inside, the property has been decorated to a high standard throughout to provide a comfortable stay.

About the Location
Maulds Meaburn, described by Hunter Davies as “... one of the most beautiful villages in the country“, sits in the beautifully picturesque Lyvenett Valley, and it is an extraordinary village steeped in history with direct access to a network of footpaths and bridleways… yet only 10 mins from the M6 (Shap Junction 39) or A66 (Appleby).
The range of chocolate-box cottages and larger stone dwellings are dotted along the sides of the valley, all overlooking the village green (with grazing sheep and lambs in spring) and the Lyvenett River.
The local community-owned pub, The Butchers Arms, is a peaceful 15-minute stroll along the river.
