Envisage a sensational staycation in the Cumbrian countryside, basking in the riverside views from the comfort of your sheltered hot tub, a glass of Champagne in hand. Tucked in the peaceful village of Armathwaite, this unique boutique-style property is a masterpiece of comfort and design, sleeping up to ten guests across five lavish bedrooms. Surrounded by beautiful mature gardens and boasting an array of extra touches, from fluffy bathrobes to a well-stocked games room, it is the perfect choice for large groups.

Beneath the wooden-clad exterior is a sleek and spacious haven, offering an array of spots in which to socialise or relax. You’ll feel like a celebrity chef in the stunning contemporary kitchen, whipping up Cordon Bleu-worthy dishes for your appreciative audience, best enjoyed in the formal dining room. A gas fire creates a delicious ambience in the cosy lounge, where you’ll discover sumptuous sofas and a TV for family film nights. The garage is home to a fabulous games room, or perhaps you would prefer to enjoy a glass of wine outside in the all-weather hot tub. The gardens are a sheer delight in the morning when sipping a coffee on the patio. Upstairs, each bedroom has been lovingly fashioned with its own unique decor, offering a variety of sleeping choices and en-suite washing facilities including a super-king with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom leading to the hallway. Completing the property is a secret library and hidden balcony for romantic interludes away from the hubbub.

If you can tear yourself away, you will have plenty to enjoy from your doorstep including bracing walks, scenic picnic spots and chocolate-box villages dotted with independent shops and eateries. You can also soak up some local history with a visit to Carlisle, 10 miles away, and the Lake District National Park is within 18 miles.

The property is amazing and with a wonderful view of the river. The owners live next door so are available if you do have an issue but otherwise we did not even see them. Local pubs are very convenient and serve good food. Also a well stocked local store is a short walk away.

Lovely walks down by the river or you can take a seat in one of the recliners on the terrace and watch the river meander by.
