Property code: OC-94611

Gather your friends and together for a memorable break in the Lake District National Park at this traditionally styled property which boasts charming features such as exposed beams and a wood burner. You'll find a fantastic day out in Coniston (8 miles) where you can challenge yourself on a walk around the Coniston Fells Circular, or simply stroll beside Coniston Water and soak in the serenity of the local area.

Offering a cosy space to unwind, the living room/diner retains much of its original charm with a warming wood burner and two large, luxurious sofas. The antique dining table is perfect for evening meals or board game competitions, located beside a window for a lovely ambience. Next door, the kitchen is light and bright with dual-aspect windows and an array of seating including a breakfast bar. One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor for easy access, furnished with a single bed with a shower room across the hall. The three remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor, including a twin room which is ideal for children. The final two bedrooms are sympathetically styled in keeping with the property's history, furnished with a king-size bed and a double bed. When the sun is shining, the front patio is a lovely spot to soak in the scenery, whilst the wildlife garden to the rear draws you in to explore the wildlife and pretty pond.

Pay a visit to the coast at Haverigg Beach (10 miles) and spend a day relaxing on the sand, or opt for a rugged walk along the coastal path to be rewarded by awe-inspiring scenery. For something a little different, Cartmel (20 miles) is well worth a visit for any foodies in the group as a hidden gem of fine dining with two Michelin star restaurants, as well as for its beauty and history, including the ancient priory.

Lovely cottage with loads of equipment available. Couches not very supportive for older people getting in and out. Access road is very narrow with few passing spaces with bushes requiring cut back to stop scratching passing vehicles. Lovely scenery. Nice and peaceful location. Nice break with family.

Cottage was lovely although wasnt clean to a high standard. The rubbish bin is back down the single track lane which you have to drive to. We couldnt fit all of our rubbish in the bin. The garden could do with being maintained better, even if its just the grass being cut. That being said we had a lovely time with our family and plenty of walks doneRead more. Hide

We had an amazing time staying in the cottage. It was the perfect place for us to gather together & to spend quality time with one another. Our memories of the weekend will centre around being in the kitchen; cooking together, laughing together, taking in the fabulous view from the kitchen & the enjoyment of being in the moment.

Great cottage. Fabulous location in terms of peace and beauty, but a longish drive down a single track lane which some may not like. Very comfortable beds, lovely welcome pack. Thank you for this! Spacious and homely- a great place for a family get together.

We really liked the cottage. It was spacious for 5, great combination of modern kitchen & bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms & lounge where you could feel its history.

Although the cottage is beautiful and one cannot complain about anything the location leaves a lot to be desired. The garden areas were all over grown with nowhere to walk or the dogs to play. The public footpath in front of the cottage was downhill with a 4 foot style to lift the dogs over and another on the steep hillside further on. The farmer sRead moreprayed the fields with some horrible liquid which left nowhere to go for a walk. The road leading to the Cottage is horrendous. No passing areas. Hide
