Gaze out across the southern Lake District from inside and out at this inviting cottage. Sleeping four guests, and welcoming dogs with a big wag of the tail, the two-bedroom retreat is situated 2 miles from Cartmel and 4 miles from Grange-over-Sands. It is also just 4 miles from the tip of Lake Windermere, where you can board cruises to enjoy the magnificent scenery from the water.
Wander inside to find a welcoming blend of country features, including flagstone floors, and modern touches to ensure your comfort. Step into the lounge/diner to stoke up the wood burner on chilly days and bask in its heat as you unwind on the deep sofas. Read your books, plan your adventures and watch the Smart TV as you recline. Gather at the table in here for hearty Lakeland breakfasts and delicious Cumbrian meals. The kitchen, where you can whip up these tasty treats, is adjacent. This space has stylish granite work surfaces and a stable door that you can open on summer days. When you are ready to lay your head on your pillow, climb the stairs to the charming double and twin bedrooms, both of which have plantation shutters. Awake to glorious views and enjoy long, lazy mornings in bed in front of the TV in either room. The chic family bathroom, which has a striking, freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, is also upstairs. Have breakfast on the patio on summer mornings. Open a bottle of wine on balmy evenings and watch the sun go down over the countryside. There is private parking for one car.
Venture 5 miles to Windermere to enjoy your enchanting surroundings from a steam train on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway. The National Trust’s lakeside park at Fell Foot is also 5 miles from the cottage.
