Escape the day-to-day with a stay in this characterful converted barn in Bassenthwaite. If you're looking to experience the spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages, and wild walks in the countryside, you need look no further. This cottage is ideal for an adventurous family of four and their two furry companions.
Head across the cobbles and enter this charming property, where you can kick off muddy boots and hang up unravelled scarves. The exposed stone walls and original beams in the lounge offer a traditional, homely feel, and a deep cushy sofa beckons you to relax with a glass of wine. Mealtimes will be a breeze in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, which is decked out with farmhouse-style cabinets and space for your canine chums to chomp down dinners. The shared patio is ideal for al fresco dining or playing ball with the pups on warmer evenings. The two bedrooms are furnished with neutral tones and soft linens to ensure a good night's sleep.
Follow the trail on a 1-mile walk down to Bassenthwaite Lake and around the pathway, where you can enjoy watching swooping osprey and spot rare flora and fauna all year round. If you want to sniff out other trails, Grasmoor, Fleetwith Pike, Buttermere, and Whinlatter Forest are all within 10 miles of the cottage. Thrill seekers will be itching to test their nerves against the peaks of Skiddaw (2.5 miles) before treating the peckish pups to some delicious dishes in the restaurants of Keswick (7 miles).
