Enjoy some water sports at Ullswater (11.5 miles) or visit the magnificent Aira Force Waterfall and neighbouring nature trails (9.5 miles).

Off the hallway, you will find the cosy lounge with a wood burner, attractive wood flooring and comfortable seating. Step up from the lounge to the well-equipped equipped kitchen, where you can still chat with the chef in your party!

From the kitchen there is a formal dining room, which offers a cosy ambience to enjoy an evening meal and make plans for the days ahead. Head back into the hallway and up the cottage staircase. On the first floor, you will find a pretty twin and king-size bedroom with a family bathroom across the landing.
