Property code: 54193

Brimming with character this stunning farmhouse has been lovingly modernised while retaining a number of original decorative features. Sleeping up to six guests, visitors can while away their days socializing in front of the cosy wood burner; strolling down the road to the local pub; dipping their toes in the crisp Lake Windermere water; or visiting one of the many National Trust sites nearby.

Surrounded by natural wonders and with views across rolling green fields to Latterbarrow, guests will be instantly charmed on arrival at this property. At the heart of this home is a spacious lounge/diner with exposed beams, deep-set windows and a wood burner. Light a fire and catch up with your group as you relax and sip a glass of fizz on the comfy sofas. When your tummy starts to rumble, head to the well-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up a meal for everyone. Dig into your culinary creation at the kitchen table or enjoy a more formal meal at the dining table in the lounge. In the summertime, the private garden is a lovely space for dining alfresco and there’s even a pretty bench where you can enjoy a glass of wine under the stars. When bedtime calls, make your way to one of three bright and airy bedrooms: one super-king-size-zip-and-link, one king-size and one double.

Watersport enthusiasts should make the short 6-mile trip to Lake Windermere for an afternoon of canoeing, kayaking, sailing or wild swimming in the magical open water. The idyllic village of Hawkshead is just 1-mile away and has a wide range of shops and eateries to peruse. If you fancy indulging in a sweet treat, visit the café at the National Trust’s Wray Castle, which is just 2.5 miles from the front door.

We spent a glorious week in this comfortable and tranquil farmhouse. We had everything that we needed and in an unexpected September heatwave it was the perfect location for walking and exploring the southern Lakes.

Cottage was beautiful we absolutely loved its location, its size, comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms. The only comment was that it wasnt clear on your website how many en-suite bathrooms there were. I had en-suite then outside my bedroom door was another bathroom with bath only. The other bathroom was downstairs.

We had a brilliant holiday at Birkwray Farmhouse in Outgate. The house has a very homely feel and is quite spacious.

Wonderful accommodation in stunning setting. Peaceful, quiet, warm and welcoming. Ideal for people who love the outdoors and peaceful holidays. Nice to be able to walk to Hawkshead along the pathway through the fields and woodland. Lovely to sit in the garden as well.
