Set on the slopes of Skiddaw, this delightful cottage is the perfect base for friends and family who love the outdoor lifestyle. Stride out on foot to explore the mighty mountain or journey to Bassenthwaite Lake (3 miles) for peaceful waterside strolls. You’ll also be within 30 miles of the Cumbrian coast, where you can enjoy family days out at the seaside and windswept coastal walks. The property is perfect for large families and groups of friends, sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, as well as one canine companion. After a day in the elements, return to your cosy cottage to snuggle in front of the open fire or enjoy an al fresco meal in the garden, surrounded by distant fells.

The charming cottage is deceptively spacious, with ample room for everyone to spread out and relax during the holiday. Leave your coats and boots in the hallway and head into the impressive kitchen/diner. This space was designed with entertaining in mind, with a large, open area for socialising and a dining table to seat everyone. There’s also ample room for your four-legged friend to make themselves at home. After dinner, relax in the elegant lounge. The room is decorated in calming tones and has a fabulous open fire, creating a cosy atmosphere on chilly evenings. The four gorgeous bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with the stylish family bathroom. Outside, you’ll find a charming cottage garden of mature shrubs and colourful flowers, as well as a peaceful patio area for al fresco dining and boasting distant mountain views. The property has off-road parking for two cars.
