If your idea of the perfect Lake District holiday is to have a true retreat set against a backdrop of high fell, then Shepherds Nook in the Kentmere Valley may well be for you.

The Kentmere valley runs north from the village of Staveley, parallel to the Troutbeck valley. It is a most protected and unspoiled area of natural beauty, and though popular with true walkers, remains peaceful.

The river Kent flows through the valley floor, fells rising up from either side and, at the northern head, the hamlet of Kentmere is at the end of the road.

The setting is idyllic, with views down the valley that hold your gaze, and gardens that meander, exploding with colour during spring and summer. It is easy to see why many guests refuse to venture out, but simply stay and relax in and around the cottage.

Shepherd Nook

Shepherds Nook forms the far end of the main building, adjoining Nook House. You enter into a small kitchen area, all very nicely furnished and equipped.

From here you step into your main living area. A very cosy space, with sofa and armchair, dining table, small flat screen TV and the main point of focus, the AGA, on which to rustle up your favorite recipe and warm your toes in winter. With quite the best unspoiled views, all you need do is add a little candle light and you have the perfect romantic retreat to relax after a day exploring the surrounding fells and trails.

Upstairs is the bedroom, with a big plump double bed, sofa and TV. Finally you have the shower room with shower, basin and WC.

With the views, the cosy comfort and superb walking all around, this little cottage will make a perfect romantic retreat for for couples seeking something a little different and a little special.
