Offering views of the northern fells at every turn, this superb cottage is a must for families and small groups seeking a peaceful retreat for an unforgettable staycation. Cosy yet contemporary with a roaring wood burner and an irresistible outside decked area, the property sleeps four guests and is located just 2 miles from the pretty village of Caldbeck. Lace-up your boots and drive the 19.5-mile scenic route to Bassenthwaite Lake to experience the Lake District National Park at its finest, strolling along the gently lapping shoreline and marvelling at the sight of High Pike looming in the distance.
Beneath the charming exterior is a wooden-clad living space that is as stylish as it is comfortable, perfectly suited to relaxing evenings enjoying good wine and excellent company. Transform your spoils from the local farm shops into delicious meals and feast together, and head outside to sip an after-dinner drink whilst watching the lambs frolic on the working farm that surrounds you. At bedtime, two elegant bedrooms provide a sanctuary for slumber with crisp bedding. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room for an additional treat, and the pretty double has use of the family shower room.
Take a step back in time as you explore the quintessential village of Caldbeck, picking up some souvenirs in the independent shops and pausing for a bite to eat in one of the inns. Curious-minded folk will appreciate the walk along the riverbank through the limestone gorge that leads to the ruined bobbin mill, and you’ll pass several fairy-tale waterfalls en route. Further afield, Keswick 15.5 miles away offers charm in abundance and oodles of independent shops and eateries to satisfy even the most discerning of retail therapy seekers.
