Bongate House, Appleby in Westmorland

Bongate House was built about 1760, in the style of many large farmhouses of that period. Over the years it has been extended and now is quite a sizeable property. The house was completely refurbished in early 2007, enhancing the quality and comfort of the accommodation, but still preserving the "old farmhouse" qualities.

We have nine bedrooms, comprising a mixture of double-bedded, twin bedded and single-bedded rooms, five of which are ensuite.Some rooms can accommodate families. We also have a cot available. All the rooms are pleasantly decorated, and each has colour television and tea / coffee making facilities.

There is a luxury room which can be a super-king double or twin (zip and link bed) with a large balcony overlooking the garden.

Here at Bongate there is a large comfortable residents lounge with widescreen TV, DVD and Freeview. An ideal area for relaxation before venturing out to the delights of Appleby and beyond.

We have about one acre of garden for your enjoyment, to explore at your leisure. Stroll between the ancient box hedges to the raised goldfish pond and patios where you can sit and enjoy the sun, or perhaps wander down to the end of the garden and talk to the goats. Here you will find fine views of Appleby Castle and the River Eden.
