The property

Bassenthwaite 4 miles.

Fellfoot Cottage is a cosy cottage located in Embleton near Bassenthwaite, Cumbria, ideal for two couples, friends or a small family seeking a base within the Lake District National Park, with the added benefits of off-road parking, a nearby pub and a garden.

Stepping inside, the cottage quickly feels easy to settle into, with the kitchen forming the hub of everyday holiday living, where wooden countertops bring character as you prepare morning coffee or relaxed evening meals with local produce.

The adjoining dining room is filled with natural light from the garden, creating an inviting place to gather for meals and conversation, with the staircase rising gently from this space to the first floor.

Close by, the sitting room offers a welcoming spot to unwind, featuring a leather sofa and armchair, a mounted TV for evening viewing and an electric fire that adds warmth and atmosphere at the end of the day.

Upstairs, there are two bright and neatly presented double bedrooms, one enjoying views across the garden towards the surrounding hills and the other looking out to leafy trees, both offering a refreshing start to the morning.

The ground-floor bathroom includes a bath with a shower over, well suited to relaxing after days spent walking the fells.

Outside, the rear garden with patio and furniture provides a pleasant place to sit with a drink or enjoy a quiet moment outdoors, while a friendly pub is within walking distance and a village shop is easily reached by car.

For any golfers there are 3 local courses to practice your swing, including Higham, Cockermouth and Keswick, local fishing spots surround the area for more outdoor fun.

The wider Lake District is on the doorstep, with Keswick offering lakeside walks along Derwentwater, scenic boat trips and paths leading into the hills, Castlerigg Stone Circle set among wide open views and shifting light, and Whinlatter Forest Park bringing woodland trails, elevated viewpoints and chances to spot wildlife.

Cockermouth makes an enjoyable day out with Wordsworth House, riverside walks where two rivers meet, and a range of independent shops and cafés, while nearby Bassenthwaite Lake offers open shoreline walks and far reaching views, and Dodd Wood invites exploration along shaded paths rising to viewpoints above the landscape.

Fellfoot Cottage makes an appealing base for discovering the Lake District National Park.

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

About the location

BASSENTHWAITE

Keswick 8 miles; Cockermouth 9 miles.

An attractive village in the Northern Lakes, Bassenthwaite lies just a short distance to the north east of Bassenthwaite Lake, and retains its traditional rural feel, with a stream flowing gently on the outskirts, whitewashed Lakeland cottages, a pleasant vllage green and a real ale inn full of character! Bassenthwaite Lake itself, while boasting gentler scenery than others in the region, is still one of the most picturesque places in England. Places of interest nearby include Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Lake with small open-air theatre (reputedly frequented by poets such as Tennyson and Wordsworth), Lake District Wildlife Park, and Dodd Wood. Most of the attractions of the Lake District are within easy reach and the quieter Northern Fells are almost on the doorstep. The nearby towns of Cockermouth and Keswick, both have weekly markets and offer a good range of amenities. The scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is within touring distance, as is the city of Carlisle and Hadrians Wall country.
