Accommodation
One of the main attractions of working with Stepping Off is the location - Castle Court.
Castle Court is situated high on the fells above the villages of Crosby Ravensworth and Shap. It commands an amazing position offering one of the finest views in Cumbria. Although not far from the villages, it is remote, overlooking the Lakeland fells and mountains, the Eden Valley and the Pennines. With views looking out over fields and fells with just a few farmhouses in the distance, Castle Court offers a tranquil and relaxing environment, allowing guests to unwind and get away from the stresses and strains of today's busy living.
From
the moment you drive through the gate at Castle Court you will begin
to unwind. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. We will
do all we can to make your stay as relaxing, informative, and enjoyable
as possible. Once you have parked your car you will not need it
again till you leave.
