Grange Farm cottage
Small and basic but in an ideal location and perfect for us as on great walking routes. I believe it is competitively priced and the owners are lovely.

My name is Laura Fearon and with together with my husband Gavin we have been tenants on this National Trust Farm since 1993, we have grown up in the area and are both from farming family's. We run the farm together and have help from our two sons.

What makes this property unique

Hollows Cottage is only 1/2 mile from Grange, where there is 2 busy tea rooms, and less than 5 mile from Keswick which is a bustling market town, the farm is rural but not isolated.
We live next door to the cottage, it is owner maintained, and we have a good knowledge of the area for walks, eating out. Our youngest son has free range eggs for sale.
You can often see Gavin working and training sheep dogs.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hollows Farm.
