Set on a friendly, family-run farm, this delightful barn conversion is ideally situated for couples and smaller families exploring the heart of the Lake District. Offering cosy accommodation for four guests, the cottage also has ample space for a pair of four-pawed pals to tag along to lead you around Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding fells. Featuring a sweet living area, two lovely bedrooms, a shared games room and access to a pond and children’s play park, this inviting hideaway is a perfect base for walkers, climbers, nature spotters and their pets discovering the breathtaking Cumbria countryside.
Entering this welcoming property, the hallway leads through to the bright and fresh open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, complete with a Smart TV, central dining table and ample equipment for rustling up family meals. Two cheerful bedrooms are upstairs – a cosy double and a relaxing twin, alongside a refreshing bathroom. Outside, the shared grounds feature a great play park for younger guests, with an enclosed field and off-lead areas for dogs, and miles of quiet walks in the surrounding countryside. You can have a picnic by the pond or meet resident farm animals including goats, owls and alpacas. There’s also an on-site laundry room and a games room which is shared with the neighbouring properties and features a pool table, dartboard and music system. Private parking is available for two cars.
The property lies north of Cockermouth and Bassenthwaite Lake (both 5 miles), along the northern reaches of the Lake District, offering miles of unforgettable walks to enjoy with your four-legged friends. The bustling town of Keswick (12 miles) is further south, at the head of Derwentwater. Dogs are welcome throughout this breathtaking area, with pet-friendly attractions including The Puzzling Place, Derwent Pencil Museum, Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, and the gardens at Mirehouse, all within 16 miles.
