Located in the quiet village of Greysouthen in Cumbria, this charming cottage is the perfect country hideaway for two people. Built around 1780, the cottage has been lovingly modernized to blend original features like Oak beamed vaulted roofs and stone fireplaces with modern comforts such as WiFi, a fitted kitchen, and central heating. The double bedroom upstairs and a bed settee in the downstairs lounge provide comfortable sleeping arrangements for guests.
The cottage is ideally situated just 3 miles from the Lake District National Park, less than 5 miles from the town of Cockermouth, and 6 miles from the beautiful Solway coast. This location offers a variety of activities and scenery, from country walks and cycling to exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District National Park and the unspoilt Solway coast. Nearby attractions include the birthplace of John Dalton and Fletcher Christian, as well as several picturesque lakes like Loweswater, Buttermere, and Derwent water, all within a 20-minute drive.
For those looking to explore further afield, the historic city of Carlisle, Gretna Green, the Southern Lake District, and Hadrian's Wall are all within an hour's drive. The cottage is conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from the main A66 East/West trunk road, with the nearest railway station in Workington, 5 miles away. While pets are welcome, dogs should not be left unattended in the cottage, and guests are advised to have their own transportation due to limited public transport options in the area.
In addition to the surrounding natural beauty and historical sites, guests can also enjoy a dog-friendly pub in the next village, as well as a full range of shops and restaurants in Cockermouth. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the tourist hotspots or a convenient base to explore the North of England, this cozy cottage in Greysouthen offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and countryside charm.
