Morland House
About
Morland House, in the heart of the Eden Valley, is a former Tudor vicarage but much of its character results from it being the home to the Markham family since 1828. Full of antique furnishings, original paintings and curios collected over the years, the spacious house is a perfect setting for special family celebrations or spending quality time with friends. The oak-panelled dining and drawing rooms, with log fires, seat 18. Bring in a cook for the occasion and life is made easy with the bonus of a separate catering kitchen. The nine bedrooms are each themed on a particular Markham ancestor from the last three centuries.
The house has been modernised with comfortable new beds, six modern bathrooms, oil-fired central heating, an open-plan kitchen and wifi. The bunk bedroom and triple bedroom are particularly suitable for children whilst the games room provides extra entertainment.
Morland House gardens, laid out in the 1880's, are famous for their variety and natural beauty with the spacious lawns and walled rose garden giving views to the Pennines. The croquet lawn was recently re-laid and the colourful herbaceous border is glorious from April to October. Morland beck enters the garden via a high natural 'force' and cascades down into an upper pool feeding the stream flowing through the lower garden and viewed from the Beck Walk.
Crossing the beck by the traditonal wooden footbridge or stepping stones, find a secret wonderland where nature runs riot in a Victorian former quarry garden complete with grotto and cliff walk.
Guests enjoy a private secure garden with outdoor seating and barbecue and the use of a croquet lawn.
Dogs are welcome if kept in the kitchen downstairs area of the house behind the dog (and child) gate.
For further information and bookings please see our website (link above).
Morland House has 40 5-star Google reviews to date.
The main gardens are open every day of the year from 10 - 5.
