Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this semi-detached home is a peaceful retreat on the doorstep of hiking paths and Brothers Waters. The interior is practical and comfortable, with a modern wood burner and Sony Home Cinema system. And while you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach all areas of this cottage, you’ll be treated to a galleried bedroom with a king-sized bed. Pull on your hiking boots for a morning ramble, then unwind in the garden with a slice of homemade cake provided by your host.

Home truths:
*You'll find the bedroom on the galleried landing, so keep in mind there are stairs to climb here. The garden is terraced, with a steep set of stone steps to the upper level.
*Your host provides a welcome pack with fresh flower arrangements, Prosecco and homemade cake, as well as logs for the wood burner.
*There's a smart TV here, but you'll need your own password to use the streaming services.
*You'll need a car here. There's parking space for one car immediately outside the cottage in the shared courtyard.
