Townfoot Cottage is designed to provide a perfect holiday at any time of the year.
This is a contemporary and sophisticated country cottage, nestling in a 'picture postcard' setting in the heart of the Langdale valley, within the pretty hamlet of Elterwater.
Directly from the door you can enjoy some of the most beautiful and inspiring walks in the Lake District, with the added bonus of returning at the end of each day to the charming surroundings of Townfoot Cottage.
Found in the corner of a small courtyard of traditional Lakeland cottages, Townfoot Cottage provides two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The cottage entrance brings you into the contemporary, luxury-fitted kitchen and eating area.
Alongside is the living area where you can relax and in colder weather, enjoy the warmth of a log-burning stove, while the large windows allow the Lakeland light to flood in.
There is a useful laundry/cloakroom at the foot of the stairs and upstairs there are two stylish bedrooms with window seats, where you can enjoy the lovely views.
The modern family bathroom is designed for long soaks after a hard day on the fells!
Private parking is right outside the cottage.
