Accommodation
As you step into the cottage through the solid wooden front door, you enter a spacious hallway, with sitting room to the right and the pretty light and bright kitchen and dining room to the left.
The well equipped kitchen with an electric Aga oven and four ring electric hob, stylish Smeg fridge freezer and Neff dishwasher has everything you need to cook up that hearty breakfast or celebration meal.
Walk through the arch into the dining room where friends and families will gather over many a meal to relax, socialise and celebrate.
Light streams in through a wall of fell-view windows, where a glazed stable style door also provides access to the outside space, ideal for mid-summer meals alfresco.
Across the hall is the sitting room with feature rustic beams.
Choose from the comfortable sofas or window seats offering a choice of places to relax, chat, read or alternatively watch TV in front of the log burning stove.
Such a cosy room.
From the sitting room, glazed double doors lead through into the garden room, with access to the large, mature garden.
A choice of sofas awaits you, perfect for afternoon tea or indeed just relaxing and reading the paper.
Windows on three sides provide views of the surrounding fields and fells.
The staircase leads to the three bedrooms.
All the bedrooms have pretty cottage windows, which frame the views.
The first bedroom has a super king bed, the second has a king size bed and the third is a single room, with views of the lake and fells.
Please note: Beds are presented as super king or king beds in bedrooms 1 and 2, if guests would like twin beds please specify your requirements when booking to ensure they are correctly presented prior to your arrival.
These rooms are complemented by a large, smart family bathroom with fabulous views of the lake and the fells, a double walk-in shower, vanity unit with twin basins and WC.
On the ground floor is a good sized utility room with washing machine and drier, iron and ironing board.
You'll also find a heated towel rail to enable you to dry any wet coats.
To the rear of the cottage is the fabulous, large garden with an extensive lawned area, mature trees and bushes; great for exploring and enjoying the views.
An area with garden furniture is a great place to have breakfast in the morning on a sunny day or indeed in the evening.
A must for those clear days not to mention a glass or two in the evening gazing at the stars - the perfect antidote after a long walk!
There is also a small garden to the front and private parking on the driveway (one large or two smaller cars), with a third parking space if required on a gravelled area just off to the side of the garden.
