About

High Whitecleugh Cottage sits at the heart of a traditional working hill farm, where generations of sheep farming continue alongside a small herd of cattle. This is a genuine, busy farm where the changing seasons shape daily life, from lambing in spring to gathering sheep from the hills, offering guests an authentic glimpse into the rhythms of the countryside. Surrounded by rolling hills, open fields and rugged, rustic terrain, the landscape is wild, peaceful and ever changing. Some days bring bright blue skies and warm sunshine, while others are wrapped in mist, rain and dramatic clouds that sweep across the fells, each adding its own beauty and atmosphere.

Here, birdsong fills the morning air, wildlife is never far away, and dark skies reveal spectacular stars once night falls. The sounds of the farm, the fresh country air and the quiet pace of rural life create a sense of calm that's hard to find elsewhere. It's a place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature, embracing the simple pleasures of a real countryside escape. Rather than polished perfection, High Whitecleugh offers rustic charm, honest character and the timeless appeal of a genuine working farm, where every season, every landscape and every change in the weather tells its own story.
