Surrounded by a peaceful woodland estate, this beautifully restored cottage makes a lovely retreat on the north-western fringe of the Lake District. Just a few miles from the sparkling Cumbria coastline, the cottage makes a wonderful getaway for couples and families enjoying this spellbinding area. Offering secluded, fresh and relaxing holiday accommodation for up to four guests, this pretty cottage is a fantastic base for eager walkers, cyclists and nature lovers discovering the region’s spectacular lakes and glorious countryside.
Entering this characterful and thoughtfully updated cottage, the lovely old front door leads directly into a cosy lounge. This is a lovely room to unwind in, with a Smart TV and a wood burner so you can snuggle up and relax with a favourite movie or a good book at the end of a great day. From the stone mullion windows you can see the secluded grounds around the lodge, with chances to spot deer and red squirrels. The lovely country-style kitchen/diner is perfect for preparing and sharing family meals, and there’s a handy 3D map to help you plan your travels. Down the hallway there’s a shower room and a double bedroom with plenty of storage space. The other bedroom is a pretty twin room off the lounge, with a feature stone fireplace and antique furniture. Outside, the small private back garden has a lovely patio providing a charming space for a glass of wine in the evening.
