 Shorrock House
Morland.,United Kingdom
Surrounded by ancient woodland amid the glorious rolling countryside of the Eden Valley, Morland Hall offers three beautifully presented holiday cottages which boast ETC `5 Star' rating for their excellent facilities, superb furnishings and comfort. Built in 1861, the main house fell into decline after the Second World War, but has now happily been restored to its former glory by the present owners, to provide a splendid family home for them, along with two spacious and extremely comfortable holiday properties adjoining the main house, and, further up the drive, the large and elegant detached Coach House. Close by The Coach House, in an attractive sheltered area, is the shared outdoor heated swimming-pool and an adjacent gym. With very good access to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, Morland Hall makes for an excellent holiday destination. Just 8miles away lies the ancient market town of Appleby, once the county town of Westmorland, and renowned for its famous Horse Fair - held in June of each year since 1750. Protected on three sides by the River Eden, the now privately owned Appleby Castle forms the third side and is open to the public during certain times of year. Displaying a collection of fine paintings and porcelain, it was restored by the influential Clifford family. Passing through the town, the Settle to Carlisle railway offers visitors the chance to relax and enjoy wonderful scenery as it runs over the famous 24-arched Ribblehead Viaduct before descending two hundred feet in five miles. Slightly further to the north of Appleby, the bustling market town of Penrith can be found, which once served as an important stopping point on the north-south trading route. Close by are Brougham Castle and Dalemain - local attractions of interest, the latter being the location for the TV adaptation of the novel Jane Eyre. Pub ½mile.
