Tucked away on a working farm on the outskirts of Ings, this romantic barn conversion provides the perfect retreat for couples looking to get away from it all. Located within 4 miles of the popular Lakeland towns, Windermere and Bowness, it welcomes couples and solo travellers keen to avoid the crowds yet remain within easy reach of the action. After adventurous days exploring lakes, fells and attractions, this warm and cosy abode is the ideal spot to rest and recharge.
Laid out over two storeys, this former stable has undergone a sympathetic restoration bringing it firmly into the 21st century. Traditional slate flooring, exposed stone walls and wooden beams adds charm and character, while handcrafted furniture gives it an opulent feel. Enjoy romantic evenings in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, rustling up supper in the country-style kitchen, savouring meals for two at the breakfast table, and snuggling by the wood burner to watch a film. When night falls, head upstairs to ease weary walking muscles in the free-standing bathtub, before getting cosy under the covers of the super-king-size bed. Outside, a mature garden with a patio invites al fresco meals admiring the landscape and evenings stargazing over a bottle of wine. The property benefits from private parking for two cars.
The traditional Lakeland village of Ings has a handful of amenities including a pub and brewery, with many more shops and eateries at the two towns of Windermere and Bowness. The heart of the Lake District, these towns offer lakeside walks, leisure boat trips and water activities, and are the start point for many popular walks. The region is a dream for hikers and nature lovers, with red squirrels, dippers, and many birds of prey among the wildlife seen on the trails.
