Accommodation

This one-bedroom holiday home has one private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The seating area includes a dining area and a fireplace for warmth. A guest review noted that the bed was comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped.

Location

The cottage is located 10 km from Lake Windermere and 14 km from the World of Beatrix Potter. Grizedale Forest is 2.7 km away, and Hill Top is 6 km from the property. Tarn Hows (4.7 km) and the Beatrix Potter Gallery (2.3 km) are also nearby.

Guest Notes

A guest noted that the property is very convenient for exploring the whole Lake District. The ceilings in the shower room and bedroom slope, so anyone over 5 feet 10 inches has to watch their head. The views from the house are lovely, with great walks starting from the house.
