Studded on the cusp of the Lake District National Park within the grounds of a working farm, this stylish lodge is the perfect retreat for four guests. Reacquaint yourself with the great outdoors, swapping the daily grind for scenic walks and picnics with a view, scaling summits or venturing 19.5 miles to soak up the serenity of beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake and visit the popular distillery. On your return, your holiday accommodation offers a warm greeting with a roaring wood burner and cosy interiors.
Shrug off your muddy coats and pour yourself a soothing brew, escaping the elements to curl up inside your delightful bolthole. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is perfectly tailored to unwinding in style, whether you are preparing a feast in the kitchen or dining against the backdrop of sweeping fells through the windows. Both bedrooms are stylish and perfectly appointed for slumber, both sharing a handy shower room – although the master suite has the added bonus of an en-suite shower room. Outside, the raised decked area is just the spot for sipping your morning coffee.
The northern fells are simply breathtaking, offering spectacular views in abundance as well as challenging hill climbs and rugged countryside.
A short 2-mile drive will bring you to the chocolate-box village of Caldbeck, a traditional destination with a pretty river trickling through and an array of historic buildings including a watermill that is now the site of a restaurant and a selection of shops. Browse the village then embark on a new adventure to visit the waterfalls of the old limestone gorge. Further afield, Keswick 15.5 miles away is a treasure trove for historians, foodies and retail therapy enthusiasts alike, where you can pick up some souvenirs and enjoy some locally sourced produce in one of the many eateries.
