Manesty, sleeps 5/7
Manesty is the heart of the original farmhouse and dates back to mediaeval times when Manesty was the northern outpost of Furness Abbey’s wool producing empire. The cottage has retained a wealth of original features, from a great slate table in the hallway to exposed beams and meat hooks in the kitchen and the original thumb-latch doors. Furnished in a lovely country cottage style, with antiques and pretty bedspreads, the cottage has a modern kitchen in a traditional style, complete with wood burning stove and underfloor heating. It is perfect for a family or a group of friends.
