An enchanting read. From a simple question about the age of a house, this book takes you on a much wider journey, encompassing art, literature, history and nature, as well as the inescapable fragility of life.’ Nestled in almost two acres of grounds on the outskirts of Wetheral village in Cumbria, the property’s private position gives way to a magnificent vista of open countryside views that are utterly breathtaking to behold. I don’t think I’ve binged a book this fast in years! The way the author pulls together so many subjects is incredible. I’m in awe of his knowledge.’ A wonderful meeting of memoir and landscape, both rigorous and freewheeling, expansive and intimate, rendered in dreamy prose.’ With its grand double frontage, sweeping gravelled driveway and beautiful landscaped gardens, Eden Bank is the quintessential English country house.A Grade II Listed property dating from 1834, Eden Bank was constructed for a prominent wine merchant from nearby Brampton. It was the first large house to be built in Wetheral, influenced by the development of the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway which brought increased trade and prosperity to the area. The Sun Rain Room, as this work is accurately called, may be the architectural project with the most meteorology per square metre since Noah built the ark. The architects say they want it to be “a good place to be on a bad day”. Because of the doubling and dissolving of the reflective surfaces, it takes a while to realise how little usable space is actually added – just a big wall cupboard to house a barbecue, a potting shed and such like, an enclosed area big enough for a smallish dining table and another, sheltered but external, where you can also eat. Mostly, it’s a machine for enjoying the weather.

Step into the delightful open -plan barn which has been lovingly converted to provide increased accessibility for those wanting a relaxing break. The stone floor compliments the character perfectly and is warmed with underfloor heating. The kitchen offers everything you need for a relaxing stay such as electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and washing machine. The hob and sink are fully adjustable to alter the height if needed. Dine at the nearby dining table and plan the days activities ahead or relax in the lounge space on the comfortable seating including adjustable chair by the TV. This room is complimented with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard and countryside beyond. Heading through to the inviting doublebedroom where you are bound to get a good nights rest in rural tranquillity in the double bed, there is also a handy en suite wet-room with shower, sink and WC nearby. There’s a secret gate at the end of the garden,” says Sean. “It opens onto Wetheral’s quiet period train station and leads out to the viaduct beyond. Rachel’s Dad used to love the serenity of that spot. He loved strolling out onto the viaduct in the mornings, chatting with people and admiring the view. From here you can walk or cycle any of the numerous quiet routes in the Eden Valley.”Barbecues should ideally be cleaned after every use, however, it is recommended that they are deep cleaned on occasion as well. With summer approaching, now is the perfect time to slip on your Marigold gloves and remove grease and grime in time for alfresco dining. If left, layers of old, burnt food and excessive oil could be a fire hazard, so it's important to clean yours regularly. Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
