Our self catering cottage is situated in the middle of the farmyard, surrounded by the beautiful Borrowdale fells and Borrowdale's ancient woodland which is a National Nature Reserve.

Hi, we’re Matthew and Ruby! We took over the tenancy of Hollows Farm in November 2024 from Matthews parents, Gavin and Laura, who lovingly farmed here for over 30 years. Hollows Farm is a National Trust owned farm, which we now rent on a long term tenancy. For Matthew, farming on these Lakeland fells has always been a lifelong passion. Growing up on the farm with his parents, he developed a deep connection to the land and the traditions of hill farming. Ruby, also local to the Lake District, has a background in hospitality and working with animals. Whilst farming is new to her, she’s eager to embrace the challenge and learn every step of the way! Together, we’re working to develop Hollows Farm into a climate resilient, sustainable farming business. We are so excited to learn and develop with the land around us!

We are based half a mile outside of Grange in Borrowdale, near Keswick, Cumbria. We are in the central Lake District region, and we have many beauitufl hikes straight from our doorstep.
