Bongate Cottage

This charming stone cottage is situated in the historic town of Appleby, located between the Lakes and North Pennines with local amenities including artisan bakers, butchers and even a Harry Potter themed shop! There are some fabulous walks and cycle routes on your doorstep. Visit the Norman castle or hop on a train on the Settle to Carlisle Railway which passes through during summer months. Enjoy a swim in the open-air pools at Shap or Askham, (under 11 miles away and seasonal) or a hack at one of the nearby equestrian centres. Take in some of the local countryside on horseback, or if you enjoy a spot of golf there are courses in Appleby and Penrith (13 miles). Enjoy a day at Lowther Castle, paddleboard on Ullswater or take a trip on a steamer and visit Aira Force waterfall (all within 16 miles).

Walk into the lobby with handy storage for coats and shoes, then head through to the bright and spacious lounge with high ceiling and Velux windows from which light streams into this room. It is a lovely room to chill out and relax after a day out exploring. From the lobby, up one step you will find yourself in the welcoming kitchen with dining area and snug, it is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while chatting to the chef in your party. The kitchen is well equipped and has a lovely dining area to enjoy a romantic meal or a hearty breakfast before enjoying a day out exploring the local sights. Head down the stairs from the kitchen on the lower ground floor. Here there are two comfortable bedrooms, a small utility space with washing machine and a family bathroom with shower over the bath.
