Escape to a peaceful location with gorgeous views when you stay at this romantic stone cottage with a hot tub on the edge of the North Pennines. Ideal for couples or solo travellers, it makes a fabulous base for days out in Cumbria and the Lake District.
Take one step up and through the front door of this cosy retreat. Full of charm and character, it features whitewashed walls, exposed beams and a wood burner in the open-plan living space. Comfortable seating is arranged to make the most of views through the garden doors, and there’s a Smart TV for extra entertainment. The kitchen provides everything necessary for preparing relaxed breakfasts and candlelit dinners, with a wooden dining table tucked into a corner. Take the cottage-style stairs to the first floor and find an elegant, super-king-size bedroom, with more exposed beams and an area of low, sloping ceiling. It boasts an en-suite bathroom while, for extra convenience, there’s also a shower room on the ground floor. Enjoy the incredible views from the enclosed garden, where there’s a decked seating area with furniture and a BBQ. Sink into the soothing bubbles of the hot tub and enjoy the sunshine or a starry night sky. You’ll also have private parking for two cars.
