This charming holiday cottage is located between the market towns of Penrith and Keswick, both within 10 miles, offering independent shops, pubs, and restaurants. Set within the Lake District National Park, only 6 miles from beautiful Ullswater, enjoy paddleboarding or take a trip on a steamer and visit Aira Force waterfalls. Just 1 mile away is Rookin House activity centre where you can take part in numerous activities from horse riding to archery. Visit the Lakes Distillery and enjoy a tour or visit the North Lakes Zoo, where you can see zebra, alpacas, and lemurs, both within 17 miles. Keen walkers might like to experience the views from Sharp Edge on Blencathra, less than 5 miles away, or Striding Edge on Helvellyn, less than 9 miles away.
As you enter this reverse-level property, you will walk through the hallway, off which is a spacious king-size bedroom with views across Blencathra. There is a Jack-and-Jill en-suite shower room, which can also be accessed from the hallway. Head up a couple of stairs and you will find a pretty twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room. This bedroom also has views over Blencathra. Up on the first floor is a welcoming open-plan living area with a lounge and kitchen. The lounge is full of character and charm with stone walls and original beams and has a lovely cosy seating area and a Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen has a large breakfast bar, where you can sit to enjoy a meal or chat over a glass of wine while preparing dinner; however, you may prefer to take a night off cooking and have a meal in the pub which is on site.
While the holiday home doesn’t have its own outdoor space, the surrounding area has much to explore. There is parking for up to two cars. On sunny days, you can also eat alfresco in the pub’s beer garden.
