Winder Ghyll

About this property

Winder Ghyll is an inviting, stone-built, single-storey cottage, nestled along a secluded country lane and resting high in the Lakeland Fells above the northern end of Ullswater, near the quaint village of Askham and the popular Pooley Bridge, Cumbria. With a gas fire, ground-floor living and within walking distance of the unparalleled scenery of the Lake District National Park, this cottage welcomes family, friends, and two furry friends, idyllic for a rural escape. Utilise the well-equipped kitchen/diner, ideal for preparing and enjoying delicious meals together, while the sitting room is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the evening, creating a warm atmosphere for quality time with your loved ones. You can also let your four-legged friends let off some steam in the secure dog field to help tire them out before bedtime. As the evenings draw to a close, discover the two plush bedrooms, including a spacious king-size and a well-presented twin, to catch your night's sleep after a long day of exploring. To freshen yourself up for the day, head into the bathroom, where you can indulge in a warm bath, or take a rinse in the steamy shower before heading out for a day out. Outside, your loyal companions can relish some time in the secure dog field during the summer season, and when you're ready to explore further, you'll find a plethora of outdoor activities like hiking, rambling, and watersports available for your enjoyment. Winder Ghyll is the perfect base for a memorable Lake District adventure. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1150899, 1131723, and 1131722 together sleeping up to 20 guests.
