With space for two human guests as well as a pair of four-legged friends, the property makes a lovely romantic getaway with glorious countryside to explore. Part of a small complex of holiday homes in the picturesque Cumberland village of Gamblesby, the cottage is a fantastic base for walkers and nature lovers eager to discover the area’s glorious countryside.

On entering this bright and inviting property, you will find the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with exposed timber ceiling beams.

Lovely cozy well maintained cottage which is also dog friendly. Lovely gesture of a small hamper, homemade scones, jom and clotted cream and fresh bread from the local bakery. Bed already made up with fresh towels also. The owners Karen and Paul are very attentive and live in the farmhouse on site.

Excellent hosts and really clean and great little cottage. Everything we could need was there and more. Quiet location but only 20 minutes drive from Penrith and only 30 minutes from Pooley Bridge and Lake Ulswater. Definitely recommend
