Offering characterful accommodation for eight guests, this thoughtfully updated Cumbrian longhouse also makes a great base for four canine companions eager to explore a stunning northern stretch of the Lake District. Ideal for larger families and groups of friends, the peaceful hideaway is perfectly positioned for walkers, wildlife spotters and hikers discovering the region's glorious woodlands, magnificent peaks and quaint villages. With original 17th-century features, a welcoming wood burner and exposed beams, this spacious retreat is surrounded by breathtaking views.
An uneven half-mile track leads to this inviting property, with an entrance hall for kicking off shoes and drying muddy paws. Heading through, you can prepare and share a fantastic family meal in the fully equipped and stylishly arranged kitchen/diner. In the evening, the cheerful lounge is ideal for unwinding in front of the wood burner and planning tomorrow's exploits. There's further space for relaxation in the tranquil conservatory and in the charming snug with its open fire and Smart TV. You will have a choice between five cosy bedrooms: two king-size, two doubles and a single. The accommodation also features a refreshing bathroom and a separate shower room. Outside, the enclosed garden has a lawn with space for your pets to run around, and a patio offering a lovely space for you all to dine alfresco. Parking is available for four cars on the shared driveway.
The property lies along the northern edge of the Lake District, with miles of unforgettable walks to enjoy with your four-legged friends.
