In a quiet valley on the edge of Grizedale Forest is this marvellous 17th-century cottage, which is brimming with rural charm. Groups of up to four people can access the forest’s unrivalled views and rambling routes via a bridleway from the front door. As well as an exciting playground for children, Grizedale boasts a thrilling Go Ape high ropes course and an abundance of idyllic walking and cycling trails. Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are both less than 10 miles away from this holiday home and are perfect outdoor destinations for adventurous families.
This lovely traditional Lakeland cottage offers guests a spacious open-plan living area that’s brilliant for socializing in. Step into the welcoming lounge/kitchen/diner and light a fire in the open fireplace. While the flames crackle and fill the room with warmth, why not sit back and relax on the comfy sofa? Enjoy a comforting cup of tea as you catch up with your loved ones and watch a film on the TV or spend time preparing a delicious meal in the kitchen area. Eat at the dining table or head outdoors to the beautiful orchard gardens where you can eat al fresco style. The large lawn area is great for little ones who need to burn off some extra energy at the end of the day. When bedtime comes calling, you’ll find two bedrooms on the first floor: a twin and a double.
This retreat is fantastically located for exploring Lake Windermere and Coniston Water (both within 9 miles). The popular village of Hawkshead is just 5 miles away and the small town Ambleside, 10 miles away, boasts a number of fine restaurants and bistros for guests to peruse.
