Description from owner

Description

Joanne & Damian, who are your live in hosts, have opened up their home at St Marks Stays for groups and retreats. We are about creating a sociable experience that brings people together in the stunning location of the Yorkshire Dales and in close proximity to the Lake District.

With the perfect combination of facilities, space and location, St Marks Stays is for groups and retreats, is self catering and pet friendly and sleeps up to 16 across 8 bed rooms.

There are six ensuite rooms and two bedrooms that share a bathroom. Five rooms can be made up as twin, or double beds on request. One room has a bunkbed that is a double on the bottom and a single on the top. All ensuites have showers and one has a bath. The shared bathroom has a bath with shower over.

The kitchen is the new heart of the home and that’s how we want you to feel at St Marks Stays. Our kitchen is perfect for your self-catering requirements where you can cook together, or have a chef, or caterers come in to create delicious food for you. We provide tea & coffee, seasonings & oils and kitchen equipment so you can cook on the gas hob, electric oven, or learn to use our Aga.

Our fabulous dining space is perfect for dinner parties, with large windows and patio doors offering awesome views across the hillside. There are two lounges, a real fire in one of them and a studio space that is perfect for all kinds of retreats, be it yoga, art, or business.

If you don't fancy venturing out into the surrounding countryside, then just sit back in our fabulous garden, listen to the river and enjoy the views from the comfort of the patio. Lets face it, we're right in the heart of the countryside so you can enjoy your chosen tipple, have a BBQ and then watch the sun go down over the beautiful Howgill Fells, staying warm in the evening around the fire pit and gaze up at the stars due to there being no light pollution.

Getting around

The quickest way to get to towns and the Lake District is by car. For walking, the fells are right on our doorstep and we can advise on routes straight from the front door into the hills, or down to Sedbergh. There are also numerous cycle routes through the Yorkshire Dales, including some used by the Tour of Britain, or the Tour of Yorkshire.

Interaction with guest

We will be around as live in hosts, but we have our private living area tucked away at the end section of the house next to the studio along with our cocker spaniel. Don't worry though as we are very friendly and leave you in peace if you don't need us around. We can mix and socialise with you as much, or as little as feels right. We are on hand however to help make your stay right for you, so if there is anything special you need organising, you only need to ask. There is nothing better for the soul than being part of a group of like minded people and going back to the good old days of chatting, learning from others, discovering the world from somebody else’s point of view and having fun. Arrive as strangers and leave as friends.

House rules

We love a furball so dogs are most welcome here; we only ask that owners clean up after their four legged friends and keep them off the furniture and beds.
We are are a great place to catch up with family and friends, but do ask that excessive noise is kept down outside after 9:00pm so as not to disturb neighbours up the valley.
