Where Is Eden Valley Breaks?
Eden Valley Breaks is located close to the peaceful hamlet of Staffield, just outside Kirkoswald in Cumbria. Our six self-catering cottages sit around a traditional sandstone farmstead, tucked away in an idyllic valley surrounded by open countryside.
It's a peaceful place, and we like to keep it that way. Rather than busy roads and crowded tourist hotspots, you'll find birdsong, fresh air and space to properly switch off. It's the kind of setting where you can slow your pace, enjoy your surroundings and simply make the most of your time away.
Although you'll feel wonderfully secluded, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy everything this beautiful part of the country has to offer.
Where Is Eden Valley Breaks?
The Lake District may be world famous, but the Eden Valley is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets. Here you'll discover rolling countryside, traditional villages and beautiful landscapes without the crowds that often come with the more popular tourist destinations.
Many guests choose to stay here because they can spend the day exploring before returning somewhere peaceful in the evening. Whether you're enjoying relaxing countryside breaks, walking quiet country lanes or simply sitting outside with a drink while the sun goes down, life naturally slows down here.
It's a different way to experience Cumbria, and for many of our returning guests, that's exactly why they come back.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Eden Valley Breaks is how much you can see and do within a short drive.
Ullswater and the Lake District National Park are both within easy reach, making them ideal for walking, boating and exploring some of England's most spectacular scenery. Hadrian's Wall offers fascinating history, while the Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Borders provide fantastic day trips packed with beautiful landscapes and charming market towns.
If you're looking for something a little different, the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway can be joined at nearby Lazonby, just four miles away, offering one of the most scenic rail journeys in the country. Penrith and Carlisle are both around 12 miles away, while Newcastle is just over an hour's drive, making our countryside accommodation easy to reach wherever you're travelling from.
