NATURE

As you meander around the pathways you may see red squirrels, woodpeckers, buzzards, pheasants. If you stop a while on one of the benches you will hear & see the brook that runs along the bottom edge of the property and numerous small birds busily feeding & nesting. On a warm summers evening within walking distance you can quietly sit and watch a badger set and you may be lucky enough to meet one on the lane if you are out and about late at night. Deer & Grouse may also be seen at times from the grounds.

LEISURE

• We have 3 acres of wooded grounds including areas for an open fire, barbecue & small group activities.

Guided walks, nature rambles, cycle rides, bird watching, riding, golf & fishing are easily arranged. Appleby and Kirkby Stephen market towns are close by.

USES

• Most groups are fully catered, usually hot & cold buffet style. All meals are freshly prepared using mainly local produce. Our meals have been highly praised - so at last we've even produced our own cookbook!
• Self catering is always an option.

• Haybergill lends itself to groups looking for a smaller alternative conference/ meeting place, residential courses, short breaks and holidays. There is enough space for 12-20 people to sleep, eat and work together in a very special setting where the "eco" friendly building blends into the natural beauty of the surroundings & one gets a sense of timelessness.
