À propos de cet hébergement

Cottage traditionnel pour les familles - 8 personnes

Essentiellement, la ferme est une ferme traditionnelle largement non modernisée, sa sensation oldie-worldie est confortable et relaxante et engendre un sentiment de remonter dans le temps. Avec quatre grandes chambres doubles avec salle de bains, deux poêles à bois, une cuisine de ferme «vivante» classique, une salle à manger «de caractère» séparée et un salon confortable et lumineux, c'est un endroit vraiment spécial pour vous installer dans le Western Lake District . Hors saison, et pour les réservations tardives parfois en saison, nous pouvons être flexibles sur les dates de réservation et le jour du basculement, veuillez donc demander. Il y a beaucoup de stationnement disponible dans l'allée du jardin.
Vous entrez dans la maison depuis la cour par un porche / salle de démarrage avec beaucoup d'espace pour manteaux, bottes et accessoires de marche. De là, vous entrez dans la grande cuisine de ferme traditionnelle bien équipée avec cuisinière à bois, avec réfrigérateur-congélateur, lave-linge et lave-vaisselle, grill et four de haut niveau avec plaques de cuisson et micro-ondes séparés - et juste pour compléter l'image d'une table et de chaises de cuisine de taille familiale.

De là, vous entrez dans la cage d'escalier centrale qui serpente à travers la maison, éclairée par une énorme fenêtre. La salle à manger est au même niveau que la cuisine et est située dans l'ancien garde-manger et salle de salage - contenant toujours la cuve de grès d'origine que les agriculteurs utilisaient pour saler leur viande, cette pièce est construite sur un site en pente et a donc de petites fenêtres .

Au premier étage se trouve le salon, avec poêle à bois et canapés profonds pour profiter des derniers rayons du soleil couchant. Il y a une télévision numérique. Cette pièce mène également à un porche avec accès séparé à l'arrière de la maison où se trouve le sèche-linge.

De l'autre côté du palier se trouve la première chambre, avec un lit king-size où vous pouvez simplement vous allonger et regarder Wasdale se dérouler devant vous. La salle de bain attenante, qui était l'ancienne salle de bain familiale et non modernisée, a une baignoire avec douche, toilettes et lavabo. Les clients doivent être conscients qu'il s'agit d'une salle de bain à l'ancienne mais a été conservée par les propriétaires car elle est considérée comme faisant partie du caractère de cette ancienne propriété.

Le deuxième étage contient les chambres deux et trois. La deuxième chambre, avec lit double king-size, offre une vue encore meilleure sur Wasdale et une salle de bains contenant une baignoire avec douche, des toilettes et un lavabo. La chambre 3 comprend un lit «autrichien double» - un lit super king-size qui peut être divisé en 2 lits simples séparés. La salle de douche attenante a une cabine de douche quadrant, des toilettes et un lavabo.

La chambre 4 occupe tout le grenier transformé en une chambre spacieuse avec deux grandes fenêtres velux la baignant de lumière et offrant - encore une fois - une vue exceptionnelle sur Wasdale. Un autre «lit double autrichien» offre une flexibilité supplémentaire à l'hébergement, il y a un futon pour une utilisation occasionnelle, un petit coin salon et la salle de bains privative contient une baignoire, des toilettes et un lavabo.

La ferme dispose d'un chauffage central au fuel qui complète le confort, mais la maison conserve toujours son caractère essentiel en tant qu'ancien bâtiment cumbrien car de nombreuses caractéristiques ont été conservées afin de ne pas perdre le caractère de ce qui est essentiellement une maison accueillante, spacieuse et relaxante. Certes, il peut y avoir des travaux de plâtre inégaux et une patine bien utilisée autour de la maison, alors ne vous attendez pas à la sophistication! La plupart de nos clients adorent la maison et passent des vacances reposantes loin du stress de la vie moderne.

Externe
   
Dehors, il y a un grand parking hors route et la ferme a sa propre pelouse, ce qui est idéal pour profiter du soleil de l'après-midi. Nous conseillons aux clients de ne pas se garer dans les espaces de stationnement réservés aux autres propriétaires. Des meubles de jardin sont disponibles pour profiter au maximum de cet espace extérieur. Les chaises sont conservées dans l'abri de jardin.
Hallflat Farm accueille des chiens bien élevés; nous facturons 20 £ par semaine pour chaque chien. La région possède également une multitude de promenades adaptées aux chiens et la plupart des pubs de la région acceptent les chiens, y compris notre local, le Bridge Inn.

Réservations

Les réservations Farm House se déroulent du vendredi au vendredi et il y a une politique non-fumeurs. Les prix sont par semaine sauf indication contraire et comprennent le gaz, l'électricité et le linge de lit mais pas les serviettes. Nous pouvons accueillir de longs week-ends ou des pauses en milieu de semaine. Normalement, la ferme est louée pour 8 personnes, mais parfois avec accord préalable, nous pouvons prendre des invités supplémentaires car il y a deux futons qui peuvent être constitués en lits. Pour chaque personne supplémentaire, la charge est de 20 £ par semaine / séjour.

Des promenades

Il y a beaucoup de promenades sur les sentiers publics à proximité, en effet un chemin traverse le jardin et le champ à l'arrière de la maison, ce sentier va au Hall Santon. Il existe de nombreux livres de marche conservés à la maison à l'usage des clients.

Absolutely gorgeous property with so much room and everything you need. The surrounding area is beautiful. We had lovely walks, enjoying the countryside and great views. We climbed Scafell Pike via Wasdale route which isn't too far from the property. The booking process and throughout until arrival was very smooth. Great communication from the host. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends.

The property was very spacious with plenty of room for a multi-generational group, each wanting to do their own thing. The bedrooms were comfortable and the views from all the windows were lovely. The kitchen was well fitted out. The garden looked nice but it was too chilly to sit out when we were there.There were lovely walks from the house, and Eskdale, Wasdale and the coast were within easy reach by car. The pub at Santon Bridge was a few yards down the road. We would happily go there again.

Had a brilliant family weekend at the property celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. The house is very sizeable and comfy and the views are stunning. Great walks nearby and very peaceful and remote. The pub nearby is amazing with great food. Would definitely recommend a visit. Tony was very helpful and quick response to emails. Thanks

Hallfleet Farm

A spacious, cosy, well equipped property in a beautiful area. The electric hob was a bit of a trial but we managed it in the end. We visited Munster Castle and the birds of prey exhibitions were fantastic. We did some lovely walks in the area, one of which was direct from the house. We would definitely use this property again as it was ideal for a large group family stay.

Cosy and well-equipped for big groups

We were a group of 8 people and there was plenty of room for all of us. We were impressed by the facilities and the lovely, big but cosy lounge with a fire. It is the perfect place for large groups and has everything you need. The heating system works really well and the place seemed very warm for a large old property.Apart from that, of course the location is perfect for exploring the lake district and the local pub is very friendly.

Many thanks for your review, we're very glad you enjoyed your winter stay at Hallflat Farmhouse, in Santon Bridge. I'm sure others will agree with you that Wasdale is a very friendly place to visit, and the farmhouse and local pub are just the place to relax in the evening by a warm fire after an energetic walk up the fells. We're glad you found the facilities welcoming, the views from the house are stunning too, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Best Regards Tony (Manager)

Was lovely chatting to Tony the host a few days before we arrived he gave me so much information about the area and the house. We had the most wonderful week in ths beautiful Farmhouse with so many original features. The beds were so comfortable and an added bonus each bedroom had an ensuite. The livingroom was cosy with plenty of seating and a beautiful log burner that kept you toasty.My children and dog loved playing in the enclosed garden. So many lovely running/walking routes straight from the door that always ended up at the sweet cafe a short walk back to the Farmhouse. Scalfall pike is a short drive away. Was a home from home with everything catered for. Thank you Tony for the most wonderful Christmas in your amazing Farmhouse.

Very nice propert in a great lovely area.

The property is as stated an old farm house. But don't let that put you off. The facilities are very good and decor is what you expect for this type of property.the uneven floors and walls make it more quirky. Also cosy for an old buildings. Everyone in our party would go again and also recomend it to friends and family.

Very comfortable happy weekend in incredible location

Hi Tony, Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend in your lovely property. We were 4 mums with our children and really enjoyed this unique spacious house with 4 storeys and ensuite bathrooms and yummy comfy sofas and wood burning stoves. We could just empty the children out into the garden and we went on lovely walks with the stunning views. We hope to come back again. Thank you.

Meghan Many thanks for your review of Hallflat Farmhouse. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Wasdale and that the children enjoyed it too. The garden is large and it's fenced off securely, so we think it's safe for families. There's a large variety of easy walks nearby, but they can be muddy! And of course longer and more strenuous ones for the more experienced. We do hope you can return next year. Regards Tony

Substantial property over four floors with large bedrooms, two of which have double-beds and two with 2x single-beds. All bedrooms have en-suite bathroom/toilet! Huge "game of Thrones" style dinner table in the dining room. Lovely garden and fenced/gated to keep in well-behaved dog. Parking for at least three cars. Very welcoming living room with large table for card and board games made this a central gathering place. And WIFI when you need some screen-time.

Well appointed and located house

We enjoyed staying in this house. It was very handy have ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom. Nice old fashioned touches. Dining room was lovely and cool. Kitchen was well equipped. Fridge freezer a bit on the small side for feeding eight but we managed. It would be good to get new shelves for the fridge door as they are a bit dodgy! Lovely to have the garden to sit out in.

Fantastic

We had a fantastic stay at hall flat farm house. It is a beautiful property in a fab location. From the booking stage to arrival we were impressed by the service. Tony (the owner) was very helpful and thorough and was willing to go out of his way to provide us with a map and directions. Despite the weather we managed to get out and about to Japanese gardens in eskdale and had a lovely long walk in revenglass. The house has more than enough room to accommodate 8 people. All the rooms are decorated to a high standard and have plenty of space. The en suite bathrooms in each bedroom were extremely convenient. Also we really appreciated the little extras on arrival wine, milk, bacon etc. They were a lovely surprise. Overall it was a brilliant short break. We will definitly be returning in 2016.

Lovely property overall but looking bit tired in places , just a lick of paint here and there and some fixing of tiles and wood around kitchen fireplace, new hob and oven and update of carbon dioxide detectors as expired. But on the whole a very comfortable stay great location and with the Bridge Inn pub just few minutes walk away it’s a good location. Our group of 6 adults and 2 children enjoyed the space of the property and each had en-suite with stunning views. So much to do and see either by car or local walks made this holiday one to remember but we were lucky enough to have beautiful sunshine all week. A must for the brave to climb Scarfell pike, but many other less energetic climbs and walks near by . Waterfalls, motor museum, Steam trains, Beatrix Potter, lakes and so much more to do topped of with delicious food and great beers at the Bridge Inn . Would not hesitate to return and will highly reccommed comming here .

Many thanks for your review, thanks for the suggestions, they're always welcomed, and of course a great help for other guests too. The breakages (which weren't reported by previous guest unfortunately) have been fixed now and last September all the smoke alarms, CO alarms and heat detectors were changed, which I hope is a comfort for our guests. In due course we will carry out some sympathetic decor improvements but try and keep some of the old distressed patina! We're glad you found so much to do, this is the big benefit of the Western Lakes as we have the best of both worlds; sea and mountains. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Lovely house full of character

I stayed here just me and one of my dogs for a few nights for a working holiday - Big house just for one, but just the kind of place I wanted - Quiet, log burner, dog allowed, pub in walking distance... Full of features and plenty of comfort whilst retaining the original farm house feel. With having a dog with me, I would have preferred the garden to have been fully secure, but this wasn't too much of a big issue with just taking one dog. I was also a bit upset on arrival reading that dogs were only allowed on the ground floor, which ruled out my dog being allowed into the living room and this information was NOT provided prior to arrival - The information regarding dogs stated to agree to the rules in the guest information which is read on arrival and this was the first I knew that my dog would be restricted to the kitchen and dining room. I understand them not being allowed on sofas, but not at all being allowed in the living room was a bit of a shock. As a result I barely used the living room as I wasn't going to leave my dog alone downstairs for three nights and so I spent the majority of my stay just in the kitchen. As I usually have my partner and four dogs in total when I go away, I would not return here for this reason if I was to be coming away for a leisure holiday with dogs, but objectively if I was having a trip and it was just me, or my partner and me, then I would happily stay again. I don't want to make it sound like a bad place, as it was REALLY NICE and comfortable and had everything you could need staying away from home, I just don't think it is really set up properly to be properly classed as a "dog friendly" holiday home given the charge per dog and the situation with where in the property they can go. Some other points to note - Local pub a short walk from the house was lovely and had a nice ,meal there once night (dog friendly too). The owner Tony was very helpful and talked me through my arrival etc before hand and also checked that I had arrived OK and gained access. There are lots of notes all around the house with instructions on how to work things. Everything was functional and the bed I used was very comfy. There were some logs for the fires available when I got there, but then also large bags available to buy out the shed with an honesty pot - This was useful as it meant I wasn't having to go to places and lug logs about. Overall it is lovely place to stay, just not really with dogs with current rules.

Nice break but not perfect

Just back from hallflat cottages, had a largely really nice time. Positives The area is outrageously beautiful with loads of great things to do The local area is superb, and it’s a really blessing to have a great pub and fantastic cafe in such a remote part of the world The property is big, spacious and full of character. It has a lovely garden too. It was also clean when we arrived. All the applicances work fine and are clean, and there is Wi-Fi through the property (although it doesn’t quite reach the lounge) The owner was really helpful and easy to deal with throughout the booking process Negatives Whilst generally positive, what reduces the overall experience is the state of the interiors in the property. Whilst I understand that this is a very old property with lots of character, the general condition of decor and furniture isn’t good. It’s in desperate need of a refurb and it took the edge of the holiday to be honest. Carpets are threadbare in places. Walls and wallpaper are scuffed, torn, marked or poorly finished throughout. Beds and couches are uncomfortable and ready to be replaced, with springs felt on a number of them. There’s watermarks and what looks like damp patches on some ceilings. It’s a shame really, because it’s a fabulous base in a beautiful area but really could do with some modernising for sure.

Jim Many thanks for your observations on the location and the property itself. You are right the area is a special part of the Lake District and the house has wonderful views down the Wasdale Valley. The classic Lakeland view (used in the the Lake District logo) of Great Gable and the interlocking spurs of Yewbarrow and Lingmell, can be seen from the house. Just to let you know that the house has been redecorated now since you stayed and I trust some of your comments have been remedied; but you are right to raise it for the benefit of future visitors who may prefer a more modern residence with more up-to-date conveniences. We do try to convey that the house is old, a little like stepping back in time, but it may not suit all tastes. We have preferred not to modernise it and so retain the character and patina, of what is essentially an original old Lakeland farmhouse. The house is, nevertheless, I believe a warm and comfortable home and a relaxing space to rest, after a long day out on the fells. The history is that it was built around 1824, and was a hostelry and relay station for ponies that trekked over Styhead Pass with tobacco from the New World. An original sandstone mounting block is still in the old farmyard. Once again, your constructive observations are most welcome so that guests can be appraised of the type of property they will be staying in. With kind regards

Perfect location and amazingly comfortable and spacious house

We didn't travel more than 20 mins from the house as there was so much to see and do. The house was so spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We loved it.

Thanks for your review. We're pleased you liked the old farmhouse, it dates back to 1824 when it was a staging post for ponies going over Styhead Pass with goods to Kendal. Reputedly, it was an inn at one time. The house is roomy as you say and easily accommodates eight people. Plenty to do too with the mountains, sea and attractions nearby.
