Drystone walls snake across emerald-green fields and heather-clad hills dot the landscape of the Lake District. This old stone cottage is in the middle of it all, with walking trails across hills and fells leading right from the doorstep into the great outdoors. If you fancy heading for civilisation instead, Grasmere is a twenty-minute walk away with its selection of bars, restaurants and traditional country inns. After a day in your hiking boots, there’s nothing better than returning to the crackle of the wood-burning stove in this quaint little cottage, while admiring the timber-beamed ceiling above you. The kitchen is fully equipped to whip up any meal of the day, and there’s a bench outside for a sunny morning coffee. The real highlight here is the view. Stepping outside you’re surrounded by fields and fells, with nothing but the sound of sheep bleating in the distance and birds in the trees. Should the weather turn, you can enjoy this vista from the comfort of the living room, where a window seat makes for the ideal reading spot and underfloor heating keeps toes toasty warm.
*The owners live in the adjacent cottage so are on hand to assist with anything you need.
*Parking is available for two cars and there's a 7kW charger for electric vehicles too.
*Access to the cottage is via a single-track lane through a working farm with two or three field gates to open along the way.
*Your host can provide a high chair and fireplace guards for infants, just ask.
*Depending on preference, you might not find the hot water to be hot enough here.
*We suggest packing a pair of wellies, as the gateway from the farmyard can get muddy.
*This home has an Amazon Alexa, which may not be everyone's cup of tea.
