Discover the beauty of Cumbria from this delightful, character-laden former farmhouse in Ellonby. Sleeping seven guests, the four-bedroom retreat, which also welcomes pets, is situated 3 miles from the Lake District and 7.5 miles from Penrith.
Let yourselves in via the utility room and stroll through to the kitchen/lounge to unpack the delicious Lakeland produce you have sourced and pop dinner into the Aga to roast. Make a cup of tea and wander down to the lounge area to unwind as you read a book from the shelves here. Alternatively, amble into the sunroom to gaze out towards the undulating Pennines. Also downstairs are a separate beamed lounge and a dining room. Light the wood burner in either room before you watch a film on the Smart TV or share a meal at the table. Also downstairs are a separate WC and a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Another lounge, with a Smart TV, is on the first floor. Your remaining bedrooms, a second king-size, a single room and a super-king-size, with access to a Jack and Jill shower room, are upstairs too. The family bathroom, with its free-standing bath, is here too. Bask in the sunshine during long lunches on summer days. Play games with the children on the lawn or table tennis in the garage. Share a glass of wine and savour the scenery from the summer house. There is private parking for four cars.
Head 10 miles to Pooley Bridge to take a steam cruise out on Ullswater. Plan a trip to Keswick, 16.5 miles away, to potter in the town, walk beside Derwentwater or take a boat trip there. The North Pennines are also 16.5 miles from the cottage.
