A picturesque cottage that’s been lovingly updated with traditional design and romantic textures, a cheerful space to unwind after long days exploring the heart of the Lake District National Park.
Tucked away in the picturesque village of Ullock, this is a lovely holiday cottage perfect for couples as well as accommodating up to six people if you use the attic bedroom.
Ullock is a great starting point to explore the Western Lake District and coast. Loweswater Lake is only a 10-minute drive away, and Ennerdale Water is 15 minutes. Both lakes enjoy a certain solitude that can sometimes be hard to find in the Lake District.
There are a couple of pubs within a couple of miles of the cottage, one of which has an ancient yew tree in its forecourt, reputed to be 1,000 years old. Dogs are welcome too.
For shops, Cockermouth (just 5 miles away) has a wide variety of small independent shops, pubs and cafes, as well as a supermarket. Here you can take a tour round the Jennings Brewery or visit the Kirkgate Centre which doubles up as a theatre and cinema.
Inside, the sitting room is a warm and cosy room with Freeview Sky, DVD player and an open fire.
The kitchen is large and has a dining table for up to six people. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and plenty of storage space.
Through the kitchen is the bathroom which has a bath with hand-held shower, toilet and wash basin.
The stairs are fairly steep and lead to two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and TV. There is an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a double bed and TV.
Access to the attic room is via the double bedroom. Please note that the stairs here are steep and being an attic room, there is limited head space - this room may be better suited to older children. There is also a TV in this room too.
The garden is accessed via the kitchen and is fully enclosed. It faces south and is a sun trap from mid-morning onwards. The garden has a lockable gate that opens onto a small stream and there is raised decking with outside dining table and chairs to make the best of the sun.
