The property
Whitecroft Nook is a charming, two-bedroom holiday home resting in the quaint Lake District village of Gosforth in Cumbria.
With available roadside parking out front, an enclosed rear courtyard with seating, and a superb location just a short stroll from the closest amenities, this lovely, terraced abode welcomes a family or group of four friends who are looking to book a refreshing, fuss-free stay within the Lake District National Park.
Enter Whitecroft Nook, your delightful new home-from-home, to discover an array of welcoming, well-appointed interiors. A tastefully-presented sitting room invites you and your loved ones to relax and unwind as you plan the rest of your holiday itinerary over a bottle of wine.
Meanwhile, a fully-equipped kitchen/diner houses all the appliances the chosen chef will need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner that can be tucked into at the breakfast bar, or even out back in the shared courtyard if an alfresco affair is in order.
After you’ve finished a movie marathon on the Smart TV, head upstairs to rejuvenate with a dip in the bath or a cleanse under the shower before you finally settle down in one of the home’s two decadent bedrooms, choosing between a double or a twin. When you’re ready, lace up your boots and set out to explore what’s on offer in Gosforth and beyond.
A brief walk will take you to the Gosforth Bakery and the Yam Frae Yam Café, where tasty baked treat and a coffee can be savoured, respectively.
During your time in the village, be sure to also pop into Gosforth Hall Inn and The Kelbank for a hearty pub lunch, whilst a peaceful walk along the River Bleng is also a must.
A short drive will take you to Wastwater, the deepest lake in England, voted the best view in Britain and Wasdale towards the north of the Lake is often used as the starting point for hikers climbing Scafell Pike.
For a full day out, jump in the car and head into the heart of the Lake District, where you and your group can experience some of the country’s most iconic landscapes and attractions, such as the mountain ranges of Helvellyn and Scafell Pike, the National Trust sites of Tarn Hows, Townend, and The Langdales, as well as the spectacular lakes of Windermere, Coniston, Ullswater, and Derwentwater.
Make the most of your next visit to the Lake District by choosing Whitecroft Nook.
