Nestled down a windy country lane in a sleepy, secluded spot just a stick’s throw from the natural beauty and panoramic views of Lake Windermere, this family-friendly period stone cottage is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s a beautiful holiday home boasting a picture-perfect exterior and interior that exudes warmth, and it boasts countless country roads and lakeside walks to explore from the doorstep.
Boasting an impressive original inglenook fireplace with a roaring wood burner and charming exposed ceiling beams, the rustic lounge/diner is reminiscent of a traditional country cottage and offers a homely ambience that invites you to unwind at the end of a long walkies. The rustic farmhouse-style décor of the quaint kitchen will inspire budding cooks to get creative with their locally sourced treats to tame the growl of hungry tummies. Upstairs, the charming sloping ceilings and dormer windows featured in each of the three bedrooms, one double, one twin (can be made up as a king-size) and one single, combined with crisp white linens, ensure a peaceful slumber. Outside, four-legged friends can roam to their heart’s content in the large, enclosed, lawned garden as you enjoy a glass of something chilled from the comfort of the patio.
The sleepy village of Wray is a paradise for anyone who loves nothing better than getting their paws stuck into some beautiful landscapes. Sniff out some tasty local produce from Wray’s charming selection of cafes and tearooms before setting off on a scenic walk following the banks of Lake Windermere, and you and your pup will be rewarded with some exciting new smells and panoramic views. The estate surrounding the gothic Wray Castle is less than a mile away and offers plenty of woodland walks and places for tired paws to paddle along the lakeshore paths. Take the lead to Bowness-on-Windermere (9 miles) to board a traditional steamer with your pup to sail the spectacular Lake Windermere.
