1 Bed Lodge in Watermillock

About this property

Rest and recharge in this spacious double shepherd hut set in a quiet location with amazing countryside views. The property is ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking a peaceful base from which to explore the nearby lakes and Cumbrian Fells. Perfectly placed in a secluded, tranquil spot, you are only 3 miles away from the amenities of Pooley Bridge, where you can admire the 16th-century stone bridge, try water sports on Ullswater or walk along the river. Alternatively drive 8 miles to reach the pier head from where you can enjoy a relaxing cruise around the lake on the historic Ullswater Steamer. There are plenty of nearby walking and cycling opportunities to suit all tastes and abilities, and waterfall enthusiasts can follow the trail to witness the magnificent Aira Force, just 5 miles away. Otherwise, visit the historic gardens and Mansion at Dalemain, under 5 miles away.

This marvellous property is one of three double shepherd huts on the site, creating a unique rural retreat. As you pull up to the site, you will already be admiring the beautiful scenery, and after parking up, walk through the front garden and up the oak stairs to the double French doors that give access into the front of the hut. Once inside, the open-plan living/dining area is on the left and the kitchen space is on your right. This welcoming space has soft furnishings and decor that will instantly invite you to relax and feel at home. There is lovely, comfortable seating to snuggle up on and a wood burner for a crackling ambience. Unwind with a warm drink as you pick your favourite box set to watch on the Smart TV. Cook up a storm in the kitchen area, which comes with all the necessary appliances. Share a romantic dinner at the dining table, which is also an ideal spot to plan the next day’s adventures. Walk past the kitchen and along the hallway to reach the en-suite king-size bedroom, which is in the second shepherd’s hut. This lovely bedroom space is perfect for sleeping soundly and has plenty of storage. The bedroom is en-suite, so there is a shower and WC available.

There is a single door at the rear of the second hut that takes you outside at the back of the hut.

Wander out to the private garden and spend a moment or two enjoying the views. Light up the outside stove and enjoy dining alfresco, with a table and chairs provided. Round off a perfect day with a soak in your private hot tub while stargazing. There is private parking available for one car
