    “A bit 'tired ' but with a bit of TLC it could be amazing.”

    I think the details should mention that there is limited headroom upstairs if you are over 6 feet tall particularly in the bedroom

The property

This outstanding Lake District cottage enjoys a tranquil setting with magnificent views in every direction especially from the lounge with gable wall of glass.

Elegant living space for your sociable gathering, Highbeck Cottage stands alongside Highbeck within a secluded 3 acres of gardens and grounds, a stroll from the village of Crosthwaite and the award-winning Punchbowl Inn.

The cottage is beautifully presented and with a gazebo where you can gaze out over the far reaching views, what a great place to relax with a glass of something and soak up the peace and tranquility of this setting.

This is a wonderful retreat for two couples, or an unforgettable escape for family being only a short drive from the attractions and entertainment of Bowness and Lake Windermere. == Accommodation in detail A sweeping driveway leads to Highbeck and Highbeck Cottage, with parking for two cars outside.

Entrance hall with oak flooring and those fabulous views; on the ground floor the oak flooring leads into a dining room with stunning views and access via patio doors to the gazebo; the oak kitchen has everything you need and there is a rear porch ideal for walking gear.

There is a king size bedroom on the ground level with en-suite shower room and the house bathroom with power shower over a bath.

Upstairs to a large landing area and access to the sumptious lounge with gable end wall of glass enjoying the far reaching views, this is a relaxing room and a great place to unwind.

On this floor is the second bedroom being either a super king size or twin so please specify when booking how you would like this room set?

Outside the grounds are delightful and with gazebo and furniture to gaze out at the scenery and enjoy al-fresco living - bliss! Location This Lake District cottage lies only a stroll from the small village of Crosthwaite, in the north of the Lyth Valley and only a short drive from Bowness and Lake Windermere. The Lyth Valley is lush and laid back, riddled with picturesque walking and cycling routes and renowned as a peaceful landscape compared to busier Lake District self-catering destinations such as Bowness and Ambleside.

The valley is set apart from Lake Windermere by a row of lower level fells, with plenty of opportunities to climb up high and soak up stunning lake views.

You'll never be too far from attractions, evening entertainment and sophisticated shopping in Bowness village, with Windermere Golf Club also nearby.

Also from Bowness, Windermere Lake Cruises depart to Ambleside and Lakeside.

The Lyth Valley is also renowned for its scattering of high-class country pub restaurants, one of which stands only a stroll away from Highbeck Cottage.

The Punchbowl Inn is one of the most widely-acclaimed Lake District gastropubs, nestling alongside a pretty old church.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CROSTHWAITE

Bowness-on-Windermere 5 miles; Kendal 6 miles.

Crosthwaite is a small village set in the picturesque Lyth Valley, famous for its damson trees, and boasts a lovely pub known nationally for its excellent food. The lakeside towns of Windermere and Bowness are nearby, with plenty of activities, interest and entertainment for all ages. Also within easy reach is the popular market town of Kendal, an historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping. Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden, are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.
