"This is proper England. Beautiful, unspoilt and wonderful. We will return."

Church Brow Cottage was designed as a summer retreat for Abbots Brow House circa 1830. Perched on a steep bank of the River Lune the cottage commands a spectacular view across the valley, which Ruskin described as "one of the loveliest scenes in England, therefore the world" in 1875.

Built in the Romantic Gothic style, this late Georgian garden pavilion with its pretty arched windows fulfils the notions of the rural idyll made popular in the mid-eighteenth century by the utopian novels of Jean Jacques Rousseau. Church Brow Cottage has timeless qualities and makes an enchanting holiday destination.

A beautiful garden - perfect for al fresco dining - with a formal upper terrace and more natural lower terraces, leads down to the river. Wile away your days relaxing at Church Brow or if you prefer the cottage is the ideal place from which to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
