Surrounded by a rich herbaceous garden, this rural farmhouse located in South Cumbria, close to the Lake District National Park, is picturesque. In the summer months the wisteria is in full bloom, so breathe in the scent of the flowers and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature as you relax in your private courtyard with a G&T in hand – don’t forget a sprig of rosemary from the herb garden. For warmer evenings, fire up the barbecue and enjoy the views across the farmland.

Step inside, and you’ll find the decor is just as warm and homely – perfect for a winter evening snuggled up by the log burner. In addition to the open-plan dining and kitchen area, a lovely setting for a Sunday roast with the family, is the snug room. Part of the original farmhouse, the historic features and beams have been restored to create a charming setting. Slide your slippers off and tuck your feet under a blanket for a relaxing evening with a good book.

When you’re ready to retire for the evening, take your pick of the traditional roll-top bath, deep modernised tub or walk-in shower to rinse away the day. Each bedroom, decorated with a striking individual design, will see you drift off to a peaceful night’s sleep.

The tranquillity of this spot continues into the local area where you’ll find outdoor activities, breathtaking views and quaint market towns in abundance, ensuring this will be a stay to remember.
