Steeped in history, this beautifully converted chapel is enveloped by a leafy garden and boasts stunning views across Whicham Valley and Black Combe Fell. This romantic bolthole is the perfect rural escape for couples and up to four furry companions. Pack a picnic and amble through the lush landscape of Black Combe Fell (3 miles), before returning for an evening tipple on the wooden chairs in the shade of the garden tree.
This tastefully renovated property features a unique elevated layout with a sleek Scandi-inspired interior. Picture warm wooden textures, exposed beam work, earthy tones, and minimalist styling. After a day of exploring, slip off outer layers by the door then ascend the staircase to the open-plan living area with a vaulted ceiling. Throw another log on the crackling wooden burner and sink onto the plush sofas with a drink. Thumb through a guidebook perched on the window seat then, when evening falls, cosy up in the soft sheets of the king-size bed. Downstairs, potter in the glossy kitchen where guests can whip up a hearty cooked breakfast then settle around the solid wooden dining table to plan out the day as you feast. Completing the downstairs is a generously sized bathroom with an opulent free-standing tub. In warmer months, throw open the doors and soak up some morning sun from the peaceful garden with a rolling countryside backdrop.
Take in the salty ocean air during an amble along the dune-backed sands of Haverigg Beach (5 miles) then swing by the charming beach cafe for a bite. Embark on a guided cycling tour from Ulverston (19 miles) through the beauty spots of the Lake District, then peruse the extensive preserved ruins of Furness Abbey (22 miles). For more days by the sea, head to the coastal town of Millom (4.5 miles) to explore the local amenities on offer and the town’s huge expanse of golden sands (6 miles).
