Surrounded by glorious Lake District scenery, this inviting escape is perfectly suited to families and groups of friends looking for a relaxing escape with opportunities for outdoor adventures. At the end of each exciting day, unwind by the wood burner or enjoy the fresh air and views in the tranquil garden.

This rural retreat offers a charming blend of historic character and modern comforts. Kick off your walking boots in the hall and stroll into the inviting lounge/diner, which boasts exposed beams and an ornate fireplace that’s home to a wood burner – perfect for a warming glow after a day outdoors. After supper around the dining table, sink into the plush seating and enjoy time together, perhaps with a favourite show on the Smart TV. The practical kitchen provides everything necessary for a self-catering stay, including a handy dishwasher. There’s also a small study: a quiet corner for reading, working or planning the next day's adventures.

Outside, the multi-level garden offers a choice of seating areas for dining or relaxing as you admire the panoramic views. Private parking is available for three cars.

Head out for days climbing the fells, enjoying water-based activities or exploring quaint towns and villages.

Take little ones to The World of Beatrix Potter attraction (5.5 miles), or head into Kendal (6 miles) for a wander around the shops, Kendal Castle and Mire House and Gardens.

Enjoyable stay for 4 nights at this cottage. Great location to visit Lake Windermere and to head north to other lakes. The quality of the beds and bedding was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped. Debatable whether any car would fit into the parking space at the front, and on a busy road during the day but was dead quiet overnight. A few sRead moreuggestions have been made to the owners who we didnt meet. Hide

3 Smithy Cottages in Crook is a lovely spacious cottage, with good access to the Lakes. It faces a busy main road, but that is amply compensated for by a stunning view to the rear. Parking is a bit problematic, as only one car can be parked at the front, and that is a tight squeeze. The other is parked on a narrow lane below the cottage at the rRead moreear and is accessed by steps that are very slippery when wet. There are quite a lot of steps throughout the garden, but all have railings. Four of us had a lovely holiday there, in spite of indifferent weather. Holiday Cottages were prompt and helpful when we contacted them. Hide
