Plan a relaxing waterfront escape at this lovely cottage set within Tewitfield Marina, right on the Lancashire/Cumbria border. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, it’s a great pick for families or friends keen to explore the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park. With the Lancashire Canal just outside your front door, you can start each day with a peaceful waterside stroll and soak up the laid-back marina atmosphere.
Inside, the dwelling features a lovely open-plan living area with views across the marina. This sociable space brings together a chic galley kitchen with sleek black units, a glass-topped dining table for sharing meals and a sitting area with a Smart TV. When it’s time to turn in, you’ll have two generous-sized bedrooms each with elegant wooden furniture – a king-size with an en-suite walk-in shower, and a twin bedroom that’s ideal for children. A smart family bathroom with a bath and a shower completes the interior. Outside, unwind as a group on the enclosed, west-facing patio while soaking up those marina views. The property comes with a private parking space for two cars.
Nearby, pop to Silverdale Beach (6 miles) for a bracing walk and fresh sea air, or discover the historic gardens at Sizergh Castle, a National Trust property dating back to medieval times (10 miles). Leighton Hall Estate (3.5 miles) is another fab option for a cultural afternoon out. For a classic Lake District experience, head to Windermere (21 miles) and embark on a tranquil cruise on England’s largest lake.
