An inviting, Cumbrian hideaway, this homely, single-storey cottage is ideal for couples and small families. Sleeping five guests, it offers three bedrooms and a wrap-around garden where you can take in panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Situated 4 miles from Allonby, which is known for its magnificent 5-mile beach, the property is perfect for anyone seeking to explore the dramatic Solway Coast and the Cumbrian countryside. The picturesque Lake District, which begins 6 miles from the holiday home, offers a myriad of enticing beauty spots, footpaths and family attractions. Visit Cockermouth, 9 miles away, to shop, dine out and see the birthplace of poet William Wordsworth. Venture 19.5 miles to Keswick to stroll along the shores of Derwentwater, where you can take a cruise on the lake or hire your own boat to explore at your leisure. Tranquil Bassenthwaite Lake, with its plethora of wildlife, is just 13 miles from your base.

Step into this welcoming holiday home and discover the stunning views continue inside. Slide off your walking boots or wellies in the porch, hang your jackets and wander on into the hall. Make your way into the lovely, carpeted lounge, where you can sink back into the soft sofas to rest and recuperate after your latest adventure. Stoke up the wood burner in here on chilly evenings and flick through the apps on the Smart TV to find your favourite show. The lounge opens into a bright sunroom with a dining table. Sit in here to enjoy mealtimes together as you admire the impressive backdrop of the open countryside or recline in one of the comfortable seats and take in the views over a cup of tea. The stylish kitchen/diner, with its grey units and ample food storage and preparation space, encompasses all the equipment you will need to help you cater for your party. Pull a stool up to the breakfast bar in here for casual snacks. When you are ready to lay your head on your pillow, amble through to one of the two double bedrooms or the welcoming single. There is also an immaculate family bathroom that offers the choice of a bath or a shower.

Savour the scenery from the sun-soaked wrap-around garden on fine days. Relax on the patio with a chilled glass of wine or dine under the stars. Find space for your bikes in the garage, which also houses a handy washing machine and dryer. There is parking for two cars at this property.
