Located in Cartmel Fell, Cumbria in the North of England, this holiday home sleeps up to 6 guests and boasts features such as a nearby pub and an open fire. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, guests can explore public footpaths leading to the hamlet of Bowland Bridge, where two good pubs await. Nearby attractions include Sizergh Castle and Gardens, Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and Bowness on Windermere for water activities on Lake Windermere.
For family-friendly outings, visitors can head to the aquarium at Newby Bridge and Beatrix Potter's home at Far Sawrey. Avid hikers will find plenty of challenging climbs in the area, including Coniston Old Man, Langdale Pikes, and Scafell Pike. The coastal peninsulas offer opportunities to chase waves and spot wildlife, while the market town of Kendal provides shopping, historic sites, and dining options. The holiday home itself features exposed beams and traditional furnishings, creating a cozy and characterful atmosphere.
Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by an outer kitchen ideal for storing wet coats and boots. The main kitchen is spacious and open plan, equipped with a Rayburn cooker for warmth and a cozy atmosphere. The living room offers comfortable seating, a TV, and a wood burner for relaxing evenings. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - a king size room with views of the fells, a bunk room with adult-sized bunks, and a twin room. A large family bathroom completes the upper level.
Outside, the unenclosed lawned garden provides space for children and pets to play, although it is not escape-proof for small dogs. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining with splendid views of the surrounding countryside. Off-road parking is available for up to three cars, making this holiday home a perfect retreat for families or groups looking to explore the beauty of the Lake District.
