Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Troutbeck, Cumbria

Superb scenery and a sumptuous slate-built, traditional cottage in sought-after Troutbeck! The intriguing name of The Curious Orange is complemented by the array of indulgent and unexpected features that this jewel of a holiday home has to offer. A bespoke and romantic hideaway in the stunning surroundings of the gorgeously green Troutbeck Valley, this a place to sample the best of Lakeland and best of Lakelovers.

Troutbeck must be one of the most peaceful of the Lakeland valleys, and one of the prettiest. Winding lanes, dry-stone walls, and steep sloping fields characterise the local scenery, and the views from The Curious Orange are worthy of the fabulous interior, and spread out in all directions, a panorama of sublime countryside valley vistas! Internally, you will find everything is set up just perfectly for a romantic holiday for two.

Wooden beams in the open-plan living area, exposed feature walls and slate flag flooring are among the classic features attesting to the authenticity of your little home-from-home, while the pure sophistication of the designer kitchen blends perfectly with this old world charm. Internal design here has been handled with a pleasingly idiosyncratic style that really indulges the senses. The zodiacal coloured lighting twinkling so charmingly in the luxurious shower room is one of many little touches that make a stay in The Curious Orange is really special.

No romantic country cottage break is quite complete without a cosy wood-burner to return to after your day's adventures, and this homely cottage has a lovely cast iron stove nestling beneath a traditional wooden lintel in the slate hearth. Upstairs the inviting bedroom is beautifully warm and inviting, and benefits from its own dressing-room, an idyllically restful and personal space for the two of you to fully unwind. The outdoor possibilities here are endless, and afterwards the cosy welcome of The Mortal Man Inn, a walkers and locals favourite, is about 450 yards from your doorstep, so you can indulge yourselves as much as you like without worrying about the journey home!
