A charming stone bungalow with a secluded garden oasis, set in the scenic village of Elterwater in the very heart of the Lake District. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, this tranquil retreat is perfect for families and groups of friends escaping into nature. Enjoy adventures across the Lake District’s most popular sights, such as the town of Windermere and its vast lake (8 miles), or Coniston Water (6 miles), before returning for a competitive evening spent in the games room.
This inviting single-storey property boasts a bright interior with large picture windows, plush soft furnishings, and sociable open-plan spaces. Unravel outer layers in the entranceway then pad into the light-flooded lounge/diner. Flop onto the soft sofas with a brew and admire the countryside views beyond. Warm chilly toes in the crackling glow of the wood burner as you unwind with a favourite film on the Smart TV. As the night draws in, gather around the wooden dining table to feast with a backdrop of the fells. Keen chefs will be in their element experimenting with local produce in the wooden shaker kitchen. Those with a competitive streak can slip away to the games room for a round of table football or pool. Retire to the comfort of three thoughtfully styled bedrooms, consisting of two kings-size rooms and a twin bedroom. Outside, relax on the covered veranda, perfect for evening tipples, or potter in the lush garden surrounded by greenery.
Lace up the hiking boots and venture through dense woodland to witness the thundering falls of Skelwith Force (1.5 miles). Thrill-seekers can take in the glistening waters of Windermere on a kayaking adventure from the Rockhole Lake District Visitor Centre (6 miles), while the literary lovers delve into the quintessentially English World of Beatrix Potter (9 miles). Other popular outdoor adventure spots include England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike (5 miles), and the famous Old Man of Coniston (5 miles).
