Property code: SZ092

This property enjoys a remote location yet is within easy reach of Keswick and Ullswater. Walkers will be treated to a wealth of routes, from exhilarating mountain hikes to gentle waterside strolls.

This charming cottage for four forms part of a barn conversion, enjoying an enviable position in a peaceful village surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. The ground-floor accommodation is open plan, providing a spacious living/kitchen/dining area. Up on the first floor are the two bedrooms, both doubles, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other with an en-suite shower room. Outside is a shared parking area and a private patio with wooden benches and fantastic views towards Bowscale Fell.

Mosedale is ideally located for making the most of the fantastic walking opportunities in this part of the Northern Lakes. Tackle mighty Blencathra, one of the Lake District's most iconic fells. The well prepared can take on Sharp Edge but there are other routes to the top if you'd prefer to avoid the scramble. Whichever way up you choose to go, the views from the summit will be well worth the effort. Explore the fells of the Skiddaw Range or head up local hill Carrock Fell. The neighbouring village of Mungrisdale has a popular pub, perfect for enjoying a refreshing drink after a day out on the fells.

Spend a day exploring the bustling market town of Keswick. Indulge in some retail therapy, take in a show at the renowned Theatre by the Lake, or sign up for an activity with one of the local adventure companies. Try raft building, canoeing or ghyll scrambling, whilst the brave can take on the Via Ferrata at Honister Slate Mine. Why not head to beautiful Ullswater, less than a 25-minute drive away? It's the perfect location for enjoying a day at, in or on the water! Enjoy a peaceful lakeside stroll, wild swim or take a cruise around the lake on one of the popular steamers.

The open-plan ground floor of this property provides spacious and sociable living accommodation full of charming character features, from wooden beams to beautiful, exposed stonework. The kitchen area is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer, handy microwave and useful dishwasher. There's a lovely dining area here too, and down a few steps is the sunken living area, a cosy space just perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring. There's a Sky TV and DVD player for entertainment or simply sit and enjoy the stunning views from the full-height French windows, once the original barn doors.

Upstairs on the first floor are the two charming double bedrooms. Both rooms are spacious and have vaulted ceilings with feature wooden beams as a reminder of the building's history. The first double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with WC, washbasin and shower over the bath, and the second double room has its own en-suite shower room with WC, washbasin and shower cubicle.

The cottage has a wonderful private patio, accessed through the French doors from the living area. With wooden benches and stunning views towards Bowscale Fell, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee or an evening aperitif. Catch up with a good book out here or unwind by watching the great variety of birds that also like to pay the garden a visit. Outside there's a parking area that's shared with the other cottages on site.

A lovely cosy cottage, with lovely views. We particularly enjoyed seeing the red squirrel on the bird feeder each morning. The surrounding area is great for walking and we enjoyed a couple of evening meals at The Mill in Mungrisdale, which is just a few minutes away by car.

What a lovely place to stay! Beautiful views all around, especially from the living room, really comfortable with a reading nook next to it. Lots of wildlife spotted right outside! If you're looking for space and rest this is the spot. The Mill Inn is just down the road for a delicious meal, and it's quite accessible to main Lakes routes. Spacious Read morerooms and bathrooms. The accessible courtyard bedroom is very well done with walk-in shower and handholds everywhere. We'll definitely book again. Hide

The steps in the lower floor are dangerous to yse. The yellow/black tape indicates such. It should be renewed and/or the steps made less slippery. A handrail is critical.

We loved the house & location, the owner was particularly helpful and friendly. However: Velux windows need black out blinds, bedrooms are far too light in the morning esp with the windows above you. The TV and DVD are both disappointing for a rental of this quality. The patio door latch is not working correctly, it can't be opened from the outsideRead more, easy to lock yourself out, and small I know but there was no ice tray provided. But it is a fabulous area.
