With panoramic views of far-reaching hills and woodlands, this charming cottage offers a quintessential experience of the world-famous Lake District. Perfect for families or groups visiting with two dogs, the property is surrounded by small Cumbrian villages that can be discovered on foot or bike. For a typical Lake District experience visit Wild Cat Island just six miles away, made famous by Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons book series, this idyllic island makes for a great family activity. Visit Coniston Water eight miles away to explore one of the region’s smaller lakes that sits under the towering Old Man of Coniston Mountain. Slightly further afield is Windermere, one of the Lake District’s most popular towns with a wide choice of shops, pub and restaurants, as well as the starting point to many of the region’s most spectacular walks.

The contemporary and airy interior of this cottage results in a refined experience, making it easy to relax into the groove of your Lake District getaway. With its neutral tones and comfortable seating, the lounge is a great place to gather in front of the fire and Chromecast TV after a day of walking. This open-plan room shares a dining space featuring a country-style table for all to sit around and enjoy the delights of the kitchen. Behind the grand oak doors is the spacious and well-equipped kitchen with all you need to cook up a storm and make the cottage a home from home. The first floor is spoiled with incredible views of the Lake District from every window, starting in the king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room with views of Cumbria Way and Coniston Old Man. The second king-size bedroom and twin bedroom both share a generously sized family bathroom complete with a stand-alone bathtub and walk-in shower.

Encompassed by rolling hills and distant mountains, the property’s outside space is idyllic and features an enclosed patio garden for children and dogs to run free in.

Absolutely amazing property and people. We knew the Lakes in December meant bad weather so we wanted a lovely house to spend time in. We were very very happy with our choice. Lots of space, warm and cosy. Tesco found us no problems. The house binder had many great suggestions for walks and places to visit (which we used). They left us a gorgeous trRead moreeats basket on arrival and some food so we could feed the goats which wevenjoyed. We would 100% stay again. Hide

What a beautiful place to stay. Impeccable taste that made us feel welcomed and at home. Pulling up to the farmhouse and seeing the Christmas lights on and a tree in the room, with the scent of cinnamon and orange was an indication of how much care and attention has been taken with the property. Everything you could need in a luxury home from home.Read more Didn't matter about the rain. We had the woodburner and games and fantastic views. Great location for walking the dog and relaxing. We will be back. Hide
