Overview
Property code: 93620

Set between the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District National Park, this cosy couple’s bolthole is ideal for a tranquil countryside break with plenty of opportunity for hiking, beach trips and visits to nearby quaint villages. Your four-legged friend will love the enclosed lawned garden and you can spend your evenings in the cosy lounge with a Smart TV and a flickering flame-effect gas fire.

Step inside and make yourself at home in the minimalist, neutral-toned lounge with two plump sofas, a soft rug in front of the fire and contemporary decor. Down the hallway is a bright kitchen/diner with a glossy fitted ‘L’-shaped kitchen unit and a dining table beside the bi-folding patio doors. Completing the interior is a comfortable double bedroom with a headboard plus a sleek neutral-toned shower room with a rainfall shower. Outside, the enclosed garden boasts a lawned area and a patio with furniture.

While staying in the sleepy village of Westnewton, you could start your day with a stroll along the beck before setting off on an adventure. Head to the closest town, Aspatria (2 miles), to find a handful of shops, a bakery and a pub. Stroll through dog-friendly Mawbray Banks Nature Reserve (5.5 miles) and enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea. In the opposite direction is the Lake District National Park (6 miles). Here, you can explore Bassenthwaite Lake (13 miles), hike around Skiddaw Mountain (17.5 miles) or visit the picturesque, lakeside market town of Keswick (19.5 miles).

I cannot recommend this place enough, the house was beautiful, and had everything we could ever need on our stay. Myself, my girlfriend and our 7 month staffy stayed for 4 night. The dog absolutely loved the gas fire as well as the walks we were able to take her on. She didnt want to get out the car when she got home because she wanted to go back .Read more Hide

Me and my husband stayed here for our mini-moon and its a beautiful little cottage, very quiet village with lovely scenic walks. The garden is huge and our dog had so much fun running around and exploring! The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Not too far away from Keswick and Cockermouth too so plenty to do if the weather behaves! Thank yoRead moreu for a lovely relaxing stay and we even got a little congratulations present from the owner! Couldnt have done more for us! Very nice. Hide

The cottage was clean and tidy , had everything we needed and bed comfortable, how ever due to new tenants moving in above the cottage a week earlier we experienced a lot of noise of banging , thumping , running above us . Reported this to the company and owners as we felt this was unacceptable and was offered a small compensation amount , however Read moreduring the whole week the noise continued. This property is not suitable as a holiday let due to this problem , the worst experience weve ever had . Hide

The owner, Susan, was fantastic and nothing was too much. The cottage was just what we needed in a beautiful quiet location. Great for our little dog as the garden was large and secure. Would definitely recommend and would go again.

Ideal for a couple with a dog having an enclosed back garden, with easy access from kitchen. The cottage is all on ground level with a modern fully equipped kitchen, which looked almost new. The bathroom was modern with a wet room style shower, with screen. The bedroom had a comfortable double bed, as dog owners it was ideal as access to the back gRead morearden was via bi fold doors from the kitchen into the back garden. Overall we enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the accommodation. Hide
