Explore the picturesque Lake District with your family or friends when you book this magnificent group retreat in Cumbria. Sleeping 16 guests, the seven-bedroom former school house is set in rural surroundings, 5 miles from Wigton. With a games room, hot tub and spacious garden, it is perfect for special celebrations and holidays, especially with four-legged friends among the party.
Enter via the lobby, where there is ample space for everyone’s outerwear, plus access to a shower room. Decide whether to head into the snug or the lounge to unwind. Light the wood burner in the snug or head through to the lounge to watch a film on the Smart TV together. The younger members of your party will adore the games room, with its pool table and another wood burner. The kitchen/diner, with its colourful gas Aga, is a well-equipped space for catering for your large group. Pause at the table here with a glass of wine before ambling through to the dining room, which has exposed stonework, to set up for dinner. One of your bedrooms, a super king-size, is also downstairs, while another twin, a bunk bedroom, two doubles and a king-size are on the first floor. There is also a family room at this level, with one double bed and two singles. Two bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and there is a family bathroom. Organise games of cricket or rounders out on the lawn. Sit down to lively meals in the fresh air and bubble in the hot tub as you take in the views.
Venture 5 miles to reach the fringes of the Lake District, with its many walks and scenic stretches of water to marvel at. Scotland begins just 25 miles away and a group day out to the borderlands would make an exciting excursion.
