Located on a working farm down a quiet country lane just outside the small Cumbrian village of Aspatria, this welcoming family home offers far-reaching countryside views and easy access to the wonderful Lake District National Park.

Up a few steps, enter the property via the light and airy sunroom that soaks up the surrounding scenery and has plenty of comfortable seating to relax and unwind with a good book or an evening sun-downer. French doors lead you to the spacious lounge, the perfect space for catching up with loved ones over a board game or unwinding after a day of exploration with a movie on the Smart TV, all while basking in the warmth of the open fire. The farmhouse-style kitchen awaits your culinary creations, with ample storage in the oak units and all the tools you need for breakfast or a hearty evening meal. The utility room off the hallway serves as a great storage space, and the wide staircase leads you to the first floor, where you will find the family bathroom and three good-sized bedrooms. The king-size and double bedrooms both boast views of the fells and countryside, and the twin bedroom is simply a charming retreat. Outside, take in the fresh air from the enclosed garden with seating overlooking the surrounding fields home to sheep and cows. Springtime is especially magical when you can watch the lambs frolic and play.

Nestled within a picturesque rural landscape, this property is the perfect base for exploring the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Northern Lake District National Park. Discover the coastal town of Allonby (6 miles), known for its 5-mile beach, scenic coastal walks and top-notch golf courses.

We had a fantastic week staying here. Cottage was really clean and has everything you need. Kids loved looking at the cows and sheep in the fields. Amazing location with easy access to the coast, the lakes and loads of attractions. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage is the perfect place to relax, either indoors or in the garden. It is only a three minute drive from Aspartia, where you will find a Spar and the Co Op but no pubs that do food. The cottage is very well equipped, with lots of space. In parts the cottage is a little outdated and there are one or two maintenance issues with the roof. The Read morebed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size with plenty of hot water. Bread, milk and tea, coffee and sugar sachets were left. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: The repair on the roof has now been completed. Hide

The house is lovely. The beds are comfy and it's peaceful. It was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The garden was great with a picnic table. It's close to lots of things eg the coast, the lakes, nice towns, swimming pools etc so lots to do.

We had a lovely short break in Cumbria. This area is much less busy than the heart of the Lake District, which suited us and we were surprised to discover some lovely places on the west coast, which were just a short drive away. The cottage was just perfect, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Fantastic rural area yet within easy driving distance of some charming towns. The property is at a working farm so you get a real sense of the hard work & dedication the family puts into their business to deliver high quality products we all take for granted. The house is no exception which has that homely feeling, clean & comfortable with some supRead moreer views. Our next holiday will be here again if we can find an available date that works for us. Well Done, Sally & Joseph!!! Hide
