Barrowgarth is a recently refurbished, charming period Guest House situated close to the centre of Appleby town, offering a relaxing and quality B&B experience. All rooms available with en suite facilities, off-street parking and secure cycle storage. Residents also have access to a guest lounge, with a licensed bar and an adjoining, seated patio area.
Fiona moved to Cumbria in 2022 one of the reasons for choosing Appleby is a love of the natural beauty of the surrounding National Parks and North Pennines along with the beautiful walking available in the area.
The historic market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland in the beautiful Eden Valley makes an excellent centre for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the scenery.
