St Matthews Cottage

Set between the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District National Park, this cosy couple’s bolthole is ideal for a tranquil countryside break with plenty of opportunity for hiking, beach trips and visits to nearby quaint villages. Your four-legged friend will love the enclosed lawned garden and you can spend your evenings in the cosy lounge with a Smart TV and a flickering flame-effect gas fire.

Step inside and make yourself at home in the minimalist, neutral-toned lounge with two plump sofas, a soft rug in front of the fire and contemporary decor. Down the hallway is a bright kitchen/diner with a glossy fitted ‘L’-shaped kitchen unit and a dining table beside the bi-folding patio doors. Completing the interior is a comfortable double bedroom with a headboard plus a sleek neutral-toned shower room with a rainfall shower. Outside, the enclosed garden boasts a lawned area and a patio with furniture.

While staying in the sleepy village of Westnewton, you could start your day with a stroll along the beck before setting off on an adventure. Head to the closest town, Aspatria (2 miles), to find a handful of shops, a bakery and a pub. Stroll through dog-friendly Mawbray Banks Nature Reserve (5.5 miles) and enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea. In the opposite direction is the Lake District National Park (6 miles). Here, you can explore Bassenthwaite Lake (13 miles), hike around Skiddaw Mountain (17.5 miles) or visit the picturesque, lakeside market town of Keswick (19.5 miles).
