Take a romantic trip with your partner to the stunning valley of Kentmere. This property is the ideal size for two people, and you can bring your dog, too! You’ll be surrounded by nature and history, so spend your days learning the legends of the nearby castles and your evenings getting some quality time reconnecting and enjoying each other’s company.
The ground floor is taken up by an open-plan living area, which includes a kitchen, lounge and diner in one convenient location. You can cook at the AGA and make hearty feasts or your partner’s favourite meals, then curl up in the comfortable seating with a good book or for a nice talk. When the night draws in, head upstairs where there’s a king-size bedroom. It’s decorated in a charming and eclectic style with furniture in mismatched harmony. You’ll have a gorgeous view from the bedroom window. The shower room and WC are adjacent to the bedroom. At the front of the cottage, there’s a nice garden with furniture, so on sunny days you can relax and get fresh air.
Kentmere is both a valley and a village, so there are some local amenities and a few people around. Most noticeable, though, are the mountains, including Tarn Crag (3.5 miles), which has a few different options for hikers. Take in the history with a trip to Sizergh, 11.5 miles away, a National Trust property and a 14th-century bulwark. Alternatively, Wray Castle is a neo-Gothic castle, 11 miles away, and often has seasonal events.
