Escape to a tranquil Lakeland sanctuary in Ullswater, Cumbria, located in the North of England, where a cozy one-bedroom cottage awaits two guests and their furry friend. The cottage is an ideal base for hiking and cycling, with the impressive Aira Force just a 2-mile walk away. Guests can also enjoy a ride on the famous Ullswater steamers and explore nearby towns like Keswick and Penrith, both about 11 miles away, for shopping and dining options.
Upon entering the charming cottage, guests will find a light-filled lounge/diner with comfortable seating, a TV, and a selection of DVDs and books. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven, halogen hobs, microwave, and fridge, perfect for preparing meals with fresh, local produce. The bedroom features a king-size four-poster bed and an en suite bathroom with a bath, handheld shower, WC, and handbasin.
Outside, the shared garden offers a summer house where guests can relax and enjoy the sunshine while taking in the views and wildlife. Parking is available at the cottage for convenience. Nearby attractions include the market town of Pooley Bridge, where guests can enjoy a cup of tea and slice of cake, as well as the opportunity to hire a boat on Derwentwater from Keswick or explore the castle ruins in Penrith. With a pub nearby, guests can also enjoy a meal or drink in a lively atmosphere.
