High Gregg Hall has a rich history, having been farmed by the Simpson family for four generations. Currently managed by Mark Simpson and his retired father Alan, the farm transitioned from dairy to a mixed operation, raising beef and sheep while also cultivating hay and haylage for their livestock. Guests are advised that access to the farm and livestock is restricted without the farmer's permission, ensuring a safe environment for both visitors and animals.
Additional amenities at the cottage include private on-site parking, bike storage, and superfast WiFi, making it an ideal choice for both relaxation and connectivity. One dog is welcome at no extra charge, with the possibility of accommodating additional pets upon request. The stunning natural beauty of the surrounding Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities, while local attractions such as Parkside Road and Ambleside Climbing Wall provide further entertainment options for guests visiting the area.
