Overview
Property code: 92707

A wonderful, spacious home set on an elevated spot in the pretty Lake District village of Bassenthwaite. Sleeping 14 guests, boasting a large garden, a games area, and a warming wood burner, this is an ideal home for active group getaways with your extended family group.

This detached farmhouse is super welcoming and has character oozing from every room. Leave your walking boots and waterproof coats in the porch that leads inside. The charming living room/diner has a beamed ceiling, plenty of seating and a wood burner set in an ornamental fireplace. Curl up in here after a busy day and get some much-needed rest and relaxation. A well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up tasty meals, and a handy utility room has laundry facilities. The first of the bedrooms is situated on the ground floor as well: a sumptuous double with an en-suite bathroom. On the first floor, you will find two pretty double bedrooms, two sumptuous king-size bedrooms, and a family bedroom with two bunk beds and a games area complete with a TV and a Nintendo Switch. There are also two family bathrooms on this level. Outside is a spacious tiered garden with two patio areas and a lawn space for you to enjoy playing.

Bassenthwaite is a quaint village with a pub and a large lake, the perfect spot for your group to try out water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. You can take a gentle stroll around the lake or challenge yourself to a bold hike and climb up Skiddaw (5 miles) or Blencathra (13 miles). If you are a group of keen cyclists, head to the fabulous Whinlatter Forest (11 miles) which is brimming with tracks and trails.

This farmhouse didnt have a big enough garden for our family trip and we wouldnt return for several reasons, it was overpriced for the facilities it has.

Lovely family holiday to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Perfect for what we needed, we loved the walk across fields to The castle Inn and down the Rake to the Sun Inn. Great for exploring Skiddaw and lovely beaches at Bassenthwaite for swimming. Really comfy beds.

Super house for our group of 12. The dining table and sofas are in the same room, so it didn't matter that there were limited armchairs, as the dining chairs were close by.

We really enjoyed our weekend here. 7 adults, 4 children, & our dog. It was an ideal location and close enough to travel into Grasmere for the day.

Property was comfortable and in a great location to explore the Lake district (however, it is up a very steep hill, which is a difficult climb back from the pub!) Our party of 10 found the bedrooms all comfortable, however, the main living area was a bit cramped. There was alot of unnecessary furniture that filled the space making it feel smaller tRead morehan it is, and in our opinion, not suitable for the size of our party, however, would be great for a smaller group..

Overall enjoyed our stay. There were a few niggles like no outside light arriving in pitch darkness was difficult to see keysafe code. Some of the radiators not getting warm and WiFi not working these were small problems and easily got over.
