Soak up the sunshine and the serenity from the gorgeous garden at this Cumbrian cottage. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom haven nestles in magical surroundings on the banks of the River Lyvennet at King’s Meaburn, 13 miles from Pooley Bridge in the Lake District. Welcoming four-legged friends, and with a wood burner for the colder months, this inviting retreat is perfect for a family getaway at any time of year.
Wander inside and head through to the large lounge/diner to unpack your shopping, make a cup of tea and relax on the sofa. The sizeable kitchen area is equipped with everything you might need to help you cater for your party. There is also a table to dine at, beside French windows that you can open on sunny days. While away your evenings in the comfortable lounge too, where you can light the wood burner and find your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Also downstairs is a utility room. The lovely bedrooms are all up on the first floor. These include a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and two twins, one of which has zip-and-link beds and can be arranged as a king-size by prior discussion. There is also a family bathroom at this level. Take the children out to play in the fresh air, keeping an eye on them near the water. Cook supper on the BBQ and open a bottle of chilled white wine out here on summer evenings.
Jump aboard one of the famous Ullswater steamers from the pier at Pooley Bridge to experience the natural beauty of the Lake District from the water. Alternatively, enjoy it on foot by following a section of the scenic, 20-mile-long Ullswater Way. Plan an afternoon out to magnificent Lowther Castle and Gardens, 8 miles from your holiday home.
