Enjoying a peaceful location in the picturesque village of Bassenthwaite, this characterful 19th-century Lakeland stone cottage has been sympathetically updated to make a fantastic holiday home for couples and smaller families. With ample space for up to four guests with a pair of canine pals, the property is ideally positioned for walkers, nature lovers and water sports fans discovering the breathtaking northern reaches of the Lake District. Featuring timber beams, exposed stonework, traditional latched doors and a roaring open fire, this tranquil hideaway provides a cosy and relaxing base for exploring the serene lakes, breathtaking mountains, and lush woodlands of this unforgettable area.
Entering this welcoming cottage, the cheery lounge has comfortable seating, ceiling beams and a characterful open fire in a stone surround. Heading through, the light and stylishly arranged kitchen/diner has plenty of equipment so you can cook and share fantastic family meals. From the lounge, the latched door opens onto a winding staircase which takes you up to the first floor where you will find a refreshing family bathroom and two cosy bedrooms; a pretty twin and a relaxing double, each with ample storage space and rural views. Outside, stepping stones over a gravel path lead via a pergola to the beautiful, enclosed garden with outdoor furniture and space for four-pawed guests to run about as you dine alfresco in the sunshine.
Bassenthwaite Lake is just a couple of miles away, with glorious waterside walks for you and your pet to enjoy. More intrepid walkers can head up Skiddaw (5 miles) and the surrounding fells. To the south, on the shore of Derwentwater, the bustling town of Keswick (7 miles) has some great pet-friendly pubs and restaurants, with local dog-friendly attractions including The Puzzling Place, Derwent Pencil Museum, the gardens at Mirehouse, and Whinlatter Forest, all within 11 miles.
