Location
This luxury rural cottage in the Lake District sits pretty as a picture overlooking the scenic Lyth Valley, famous for its serene walking, peaceful cycling and scattering of acclaimed Lake District gastropubs. Nearby is the famous Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank - a must during your stay. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite (a small village in the north of the Lyth Valley) also comes highly recommended.
The Lyth Valley lies to the east of Lake Windermere, offering a quieter alternative to the busier Lake District holiday destinations. But you'll find a manageable drive takes you to shops, cafes, restaurants and evening entertainment in Bowness village on the lake shore, with the opportunity to take a steamer cruise to Ambleside or Lakeside. Windermere Golf Club is also en-route to Bowness and keen golfers will love the scenic course.
If you're keen to explore the wider reaches of the Lake District National Park, you'll link up to the A591 at Windermere and find this road takes you easily to Ambleside, Grasmere and beyond.
