Formerly a dairy, this cottage near Appleby has been thoughtfully converted into a cosy and charming cottage, perfect for couples wishing to escape to a tranquil part of Cumbria.

Take a romantic holiday to a quiet part of Cumbria. This stone studio cottage is a cosy place for a couple and their dogs to spend some quality time making memories and exploring the wonders of the Lake District. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside, and you’ll be conveniently close to the market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland.

This property utilises space effectively, so you have everything you need in a compact area. The living space has a lounge with seating around the wood burner, and during the day you’ll get natural light through the French doors. You’ll get a lovely airy feel with the vaulted ceiling and cream walls, and there are some charming paintings hanging. There’s a nook for the kitchen and a small dining table, perfect for two people. You’ll have a super-king-size bed for deep, restful nights. The studio is completed by a shower room with a WC. Step outside, where you’ll find a stretching lawn enclosed by a hedge so your dogs can sniff around and enjoy while you watch from the patio table.

You’ll be staying in a great location, around 200 metres from the nearest pub. From here, natural landscapes reach in all directions. If you need supplies or fancy a spot of shopping, the market town Appleby-in-Westmorland is 2 miles away. Alternatively, take your dogs for a walk around Rutter Force Waterfall (1.5 miles) or to Stenkrith Park (10.5 miles), a lovely spot with a stream so your dogs can swim, you can paddle, and everyone can explore the woods.
