Set in the grounds of Crosthwaite House, the property enjoys a peaceful location with spectacular scenic views.

Drive west to reach Windermere and its fantastic boating facilities, spectacular scenery and bustling selection of shops, cafes and galleries. Inside, the accommodation is open plan, warm and inviting. Prepare tasty romantic meals in the compact yet well equipped kitchen before dining beside the wood burner that sits in a fine stone fireplace. With a comfortable L shaped sofa, TV and DVD player, this cosy space is perfect for relaxing nights in. A staircase leads up to the double bedroom, which has space for a cot of required. Next door, there is a charming bathroom with shower over bath. To the side of the cottage is a pretty enclosed shared terraced garden with bench for al fresco drinks and wonderful views looking out across to the church and distant fells of Whitbarrow Scar and Cartmel Fell.
