Get ready for a real treat of a holiday cottage today! It's The Hayloft in Windermere!
This luxurious self-catering cottage sleeps 6 guests and is pet-friendly, welcoming one dog. It's a characterful 17th century barn that's been stylishly brought into the 21st century with real class and care.
The quirky layout just adds to the charm of this property. The living room with its wood burner is on the ground floor with galleried spaces above and wooden beams that give a nod to the history of this special place.
A few steps will take you up to the raised kitchen-diner, which is a spacious room where you could happily spend all your time! The kitchen has ample space for storage, while a dining table for six provides plenty of eating space. There are also comfy chairs and a sofa up here, so you can enjoy some really social meal prep. Two of the chairs have been thoughtfully placed to give you a lovely view of the garden and fells through a floor-to-ceiling window.
On the other side of the lounge is a mezzanine. This is a perfect little hideaway - you can enjoy a peaceful book here or get down to some work. Alternatively, kids will love peering down at the adults in the lounge below!
There are three bedrooms at The Hayloft: two kings and one twin. One of the king-size bedrooms, as well as the twin, is on the lower ground floor, and both have their own gorgeous en suites. These are no basement rooms, though! They're bright and welcoming, with plenty of natural light shining through the windows.
The third bedroom is on the ground floor and is a spacious room with a king-size bed. A shower room on this floor, too, means there'll be no queuing for the bathroom in the morning!
Outside, the large garden has uninterrupted countryside views that will do wonders to help you relax. As well as the large lawned area, there's a patio with plenty of seating and a fire pit for evenings spent enjoying good company!
