A wonderful, spacious home set on an elevated spot in the pretty Lake District village of Bassenthwaite. Sleeping 14 guests, boasting a large garden, a games area, and a warming wood burner, this is an ideal home for active group getaways with your extended family group.

This detached farmhouse is super welcoming and has character oozing from every room. Leave your walking boots and waterproof coats in the porch that leads inside. The charming living room/diner has a beamed ceiling, plenty of seating and a wood burner set in an ornamental fireplace. Curl up in here after a busy day and get some much-needed rest and relaxation. A well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up tasty meals, and a handy utility room has laundry facilities. The first of the bedrooms is situated on the ground floor as well: a sumptuous double with an en-suite bathroom. On the first floor, you will find two pretty double bedrooms, two sumptuous king-size bedrooms, and a family bedroom with two bunk beds and a games area complete with a TV and a Nintendo Switch. There are also two family bathrooms on this level. Outside is a spacious tiered garden with two patio areas and a lawn space for you to enjoy playing.

Bassenthwaite is a quaint village with a pub and a large lake, the perfect spot for your group to try out water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking. You can take a gentle stroll around the lake or challenge yourself to a bold hike and climb up Skiddaw (5 miles) or Blencathra (13 miles). If you are a group of keen cyclists, head to the fabulous Whinlatter Forest (11 miles) which is brimming with tracks and trails.
