Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Outgate and Tarn Hows, Cumbria

This cottage enjoys a simply stunning location in amongst a small cluster of cottages close to Tarn Hows, a National Trust managed area of countryside, which offers a circular accessible walking route with beautiful mountain views. The villages of Coniston and Hawkshead are both under two miles away, each offering a range of shops and pubs, whilst Hawkshead also has The Beatrix Potter Gallery. Coniston Water and Lake Windermere are both a short drive from the property and offer a range of water sports and pleasure cruises, meaning that everyone can enjoy the lakes, whether you want a relaxing or active holiday.

This detached cottage offers guests a wonderful place to stay in the stunning surrounds of the Lake District. Entering the cottage through the entrance hall, guests will come to the spacious living room. There are two distinct areas to this room, which can be divided by glass doors into two separate spaces if desired.

The lower end has the TV and DVD, as well as French windows which lead out to the patio, whilst two steps up lead to the second area which is dominated by the impressive stone fireplace which now houses the cosy wood burner. This space makes a relaxing retreat, with its comfortable seating and window seat which offers scenic views across the valley. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully and stylishly finished and is well-equipped with a Range cooker, hob, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.

The washing machine and tumble dryer can be found in a separate utility room where you will also find a very useful drying cabinet. The property’s dining room is located in a light and airy extension, which benefits from French windows giving access to the garden and an additional TV. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms.

The first of which is the master-suite with double bed, TV, and en-suite shower room with WC. The two further bedrooms are a double and a twin, which, again have their own TV. The main bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, there is an enclosed garden, which is perfect for all the family with both a lawn area and a large patio seating area with tables and chairs. Bikes can also be stored in the garage. The property’s owners are rightfully proud of the cottage’s eco-credentials, which include a ground-source heat system and solar panels, which keep the property lovely and cosy.
