Deer House
The Deer House is a quirky octagonal-shaped cottage, and like the other farm buildings and cottages on the Underley Estate, the Deer House dates back generations.
Before the thought pops into your mind, forget the James Bond Skyfall scene with Dame Judie Dench inspecting a hanging deer; no, this Deer House offered much happier times; it's where the deer on the estate would come to feed.
The Deer House is now one of three cottages on the Underley Estate. It offers a fabulous ground-floor living/dining and kitchen area alongside the log-burning stove and fabulous views from the many windows. Upstairs are the two bedrooms, both of which are en-suite, so this cottage is perfect for families or perhaps friends on a walking holiday.
Although an old character building, the cottage is centrally heated throughout by an eco-friendly air-source heat pump. Coupled with the fire, you're sure to be lovely and warm. On the warmer days, the enclosed garden is a wonderful space to enjoy, perhaps with a barbeque or a few drinks.
The Underley Estate benefits from approximately 1.5 miles of private water, including pools such as the Broken Banks and Catamaran. Guests can try fly fishing on the River Lune, which is renowned for salmon in September and October and sea trout during the summer. Fishing is by prior arrangement; an additional fee and tackle can be hired on the estate.
If fishing isn't your thing, you can try clay pigeon shooting or perhaps explore one of the many walks and footpaths over the fields and through the woods (a map of the estate is available in the cottage). Many of the walks are only accessible to guests staying on the estate.
To make your stay that little bit more special, add a food hamper to be delivered to your cottage for your arrival.

Kirkby Lonsdale
About the location
Imagine waking up to the soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the trees, revealing the tranquil beauty of the Lune Valley. At the heart of this serene landscape lies the Underley Estate, a hidden gem offering the perfect escape for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.
The Underlay estate dates back centuries. The first mention of the word “Underley” is in 1260, when it is believed that the Abbot of York granted Ughtred de Underlay, son of the Earl of Northumberland, “fifteen acres and one rood” of land in the town of Kirkby Lonsdale. But in more modern times, this idyllic setting provides a peaceful retreat and a gateway to some of England's most magnificent natural wonders.
Just a short, scenic drive, you'll find the charming market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Cobbled streets and inviting shops lead to the breathtaking "Ruskin's View", although Ruskins View is currently closed to the public for land stabilisation, it is due to reopen "soon". The town is a delightful place to while away an afternoon, browsing local crafts and enjoying a delicious meal in one of many fantastic pubs, restaurants or cafes.
But the allure of Underley extends beyond its immediate surroundings. You’re perfectly positioned to explore two iconic national parks: the Lake District, with its dramatic fells and shimmering lakes, and the Yorkshire Dales, a land of rugged beauty and timeless villages.
Whether you're drawn to the challenging hikes of the fells, the quiet charm of the Dales' stone-built villages, or the gentle walks along the Lune Valley itself, Underley Estate offers the ideal base for your adventures.
Book a stay at The Old Laundry on the Underley Estate and immerse yourself in the beauty of the English countryside, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
