The property

uck Away Riverside Cottage is a stylish holiday home near the picture-perfect Lake District National Park, in the village of Cark In Cartmel, Cumbria.

Overlooking the river stream and its waddling of ducks, this home welcomes families and friends to enjoy a scenic getaway with easy access to amenities and attractions.

Inside this riverside cottage, you can find an inviting entrance lobby, home to a bench and space for boots and bags, whilst a handy washing machine under the stairs is a helpful addition throughout your stay.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need to rustle up a delicious family meal at the dining table.

Admire the views of the stream from the balcony, sink into the sofa to watch a film on the TV as the evening draws to a close or create a comfortable atmosphere and settle in with a captivating book, while other family members engage in puzzles and games.

For those seeking peace and serenity, the balcony is the ultimate spot for your morning cup of tea as the ducks pass by too.

Freshen up in the contemporary shower room with a towel on the toasty rail, before heading off to explore some of the best Lake District attractions.

When you return, there are three bedrooms to choose from, each with its own TV, perfect for lazier mornings.

The two king-size bedrooms each enjoy views over the river and cherry blossom trees, making an idyllic spot to watch the sunset.

The truckle room looks over delightful countryside scenery with sheep in the nearby fields; this room offers the added convenience of a workspace with a PC monitor and writing desk, should any literary inspiration strike or you simply want to catch up on emails away from the group.

When you're ready to explore, from the doorstep you can find countryside pubs, local shops and the train station, as well as the famous Cartmel Racecourse for any racing enthusiasts and the beautiful Holker Hall & Gardens, which make for a lovely afternoon out.

Benefitting from both Cumbrian and Lancastrian links, you can savour a day of watersports on Lake Windermere and explore the fells and fields of the national park, or you can head outwards towards the coastlines for fresh sea air.

Humphrey Head is close by for another scenic walk, as well as the pretty Ornamental Gardens, whilst Cartmel has a Michelin-starred restaurant on offer.

The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings, mountain backdrop, fabulous sea views, promenade and two golf courses is four miles away.
