All on one level, this cottage is filled with natural light from the picture windows that look out onto its namesake, the Howgill fells. It has an open-plan lounge with kitchen and dining area, and two bedrooms. It's on a non-working farm in the Yorkshire Dales National Park with lots of little footpaths to discover and lanes to explore by bike. With it's own private terrace, as well as a large shared garden, it's the perfect place to relax after a day out exploring this beautiful part of the world.
The pretty village of Ravenstonedale is a mile down the road and has the rare distinction of still having two very good pubs. A few miles beyond is the small town of Kirkby Stephen with its pleasant shops and cafes – it prides itself on being a ‘walkers are welcome’ town and has lots of vibrant, small independent shops.
A favourite place to visit is Stenkrith Park, a native woodland that borders the River Eden with a variety of pathways including a beautiful viaduct walk and a great wild swimming spot at the far end of the park. Your nearest lake is Haweswater, around 30 minutes away, with Ullswater just beyond or Windermere a 45-minute drive.
A ramp leads to the entrance which opens into a hallway with the living area to one side and two bedrooms (a double and a twin) to the other side. The shower room is at the far end.
The sofa and armchairs in the lounge are perfectly positioned to make the most of the view and the most of the cosy electric wood burner. There is TV with DVD and plenty of DVDs to borrow. At the far end of the room is the kitchen area with dining. The kitchen is equipped with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and plenty of storage space.
Outside is a private terrace with views towards the Howgill fells and also over the large shared garden which has lots of little nooks and crannies, as well as a summer house and a fire pit! Parking is beside the cottage.
