Gibbs Hill Farm Cottages

Enjoy England Self Catering 4 Stars

Accommodation Details

Gibbs Hill Farm is a traditional working hill farm dating back to before the 17th century when the lawless violent Border Reivers held the borderlands in their fearsome grip, owing allegiance to neither the Scots nor the English.

Gibbs Hill was so named because the sheep stealers were hanged there on the gibbet as a warning to all! The present owners, a more peaceful family, are the fourth generation to farm here. The farm carries 50 suckler cows and calves and over 500 Swaledale cross ewes and lambs. There is also a small fold of Highland cattle to admire.
