About the host

Hosted by Laura Lane

Host profile image

I love being a host because it allows me to create a space where people can slow down, breathe, and feel truly at home. There is something incredibly special about welcoming guests into a place I’ve poured my heart into—somewhere warm, thoughtful and relaxing, where every detail has been chosen with care. Hosting isn’t just about providing a beautiful cottage; it’s about offering comfort, connection and a sense of escape.

What I enjoy most is knowing that the home becomes part of people’s important moments—birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, first trips with new babies, quiet weekends after stressful weeks, or simply a long-awaited break. It’s a privilege to create the backdrop for memories families and couples will talk about for years.

I also love the creativity that hosting brings. Designing spaces, choosing cosy touches, adding local treats, and making everything feel just right gives me so much joy. Seeing guests appreciate those details—whether it’s the soft lighting, the hot tub under the stars, or the toys that make little ones smile—reminds me why I do this.

Sharing the beauty of the local area is another part of hosting I cherish. When guests tell me they loved the walks, found a new favourite café, or discovered a place they want to return to, it makes me proud of both the home and the community around it.

But above all, I love the human side. The kind messages, the excitement when guests arrive, the gratitude when they leave feeling rested—it fills me with purpose. Hosting lets me bring comfort, joy and ease into people’s lives, even if only for a short time. And that, to me, is incredibly meaningful.

Why they chose this property


We chose this area because it has a rare kind of beauty and charm that stays with you long after you leave. Appleby-in-Westmorland isn’t just a place on the map—it’s a feeling. The moment we first walked through the town, we were struck by how calm, welcoming and quietly magical it was. The blend of history, countryside, friendly locals and stunning landscapes made it impossible not to fall in love.

We were drawn to the way Appleby balances peaceful village life with so much to explore. You can step outside and be by the river in minutes, wander through ancient streets, enjoy cosy pubs and cafés, or simply soak up the character of a working castle right in the centre. It’s a place where time slows down in the best possible way.

The surrounding countryside sealed the decision for us. The Eden Valley, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, the Pennines—having all of this on the doorstep felt like discovering the perfect base for adventure and relaxation. Whether it’s hill walks, scenic drives, wildlife, or simply watching the seasons change, this area offers a connection to nature that’s grounding and restorative.

But what truly made us commit to this location was the atmosphere. Appleby has a heart. It’s friendly, authentic and deeply rooted in tradition, yet full of life. We wanted a place where guests could feel both inspired and at ease—a town that feels like a warm welcome every time you return.

Choosing this area wasn’t just a practical decision; it was an emotional one. It felt like the right place to create a home where people could unwind, explore, reconnect, and experience the best of Cumbria’s beauty. And every time guests tell us how much they’ve fallen in love with the town, it reminds us we made the perfect choice.

What makes this property unique


What makes our property unique is the way it blends character, comfort and thoughtful design to create a stay that feels truly special. Little Apple Cottage is a Grade II listed home, lovingly restored to preserve its historic charm while adding all the modern luxury touches guests expect. Original features sit beautifully alongside plush furnishings, soft lighting and carefully chosen décor, giving the cottage a warm, inviting atmosphere you don’t find everywhere.

The private **hot tub** is another standout feature. Tucked away in the garden, it offers a peaceful, exclusive place to unwind under the stars after a day of exploring. Many guests tell us it’s their favourite part of the stay, and it really sets the property apart.

Families love the cottage because it’s not just child-friendly—it’s child-ready. With two cots, safety gates on every level, high chairs, toys and a baby monitor, travelling with children becomes easier and more enjoyable. Every detail has been considered so parents can relax too.

The location adds another layer of uniqueness. Being just 100 metres from Appleby’s town centre means guests can enjoy pubs, cafés, shops and riverside walks within minutes, yet the cottage still feels private and peaceful. The combination of convenience, history and countryside charm is something quite rare.

We also pride ourselves on hosting with heart. The cottage is full of thoughtful touches—local treats, helpful guides, little luxuries—that make the stay feel personal rather than generic. It’s not just a holiday home; it’s a place crafted with care, designed to give guests comfort, warmth and a memorable experience from the moment they arrive.

In short, what makes our property unique is the blend of **heritage, luxury, family-friendly design, a private hot tub, and a location that offers the best of Appleby and the surrounding countryside—all wrapped in genuine, thoughtful hospitality.**
