Discover the natural beauty of the magical southern Lakes when you stay at this cottage in Haverthwaite. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat sits within pretty gardens where you can dine out in the sunshine and challenge each other to games of table tennis. Inside, there is a wealth of character and an open fire to toast beside during the colder months of the year. The property is 6 miles from Ulverston and 3 miles from the southern tip of Lake Windermere.
Step inside via the lobby to find yourselves in a cosy lounge/diner, where timber beams and the fireplace reveal the character of the cottage while also ensuring a warm welcome. Gaze out over the garden from here or settle on the soft seating with your book. Choose a film on TV or a DVD that everyone will enjoy together later on in the evening. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is also a great space, with ample room for preparing homecooked meals and gathering round the table to enjoy them. There is also a shower room downstairs, plus a utility room that opens on to the garden. Make your way up to the floor above when you are ready to turn in for the night. Here you will discover one super-king-size bedroom, as well as two twins and a family bathroom. The delightful, enclosed garden makes a superb extension to the house, especially for those with children or four-legged friends in their party.
Plan days on the beach at Bardsea, 8.5 miles away, where you can look out towards Morecambe Bay. Venture 4 miles to Lakeside to board a cruise on Lake Windermere or to take a heritage steam train through the southern swathes of the Lake District. Coniston Water, with its 15.5-mile circular walk, is 8 miles from the cottage.
