This ground-floor home is one of three which can be booked together for larger groups. Tastefully decorated and with a home-from-home feel, it has all the modern conveniences you’d expect, without losing any of its charm and character. If you’ve worked up an appetite after a day of adventures, cook up a tasty meal in the well-equipped kitchen, and gather everyone around the kitchen table or the dining table in the lounge. Retreat to the comfortable sofas for a relaxing evening with a film and a glass of wine, while the dogs snooze in front of the warming gas fire. A restful night’s sleep awaits in the two bedrooms, where you can recharge so you’re ready for a new day of exploring. Soak up your tranquil surroundings in the delightful shared garden, which enjoys impressive views of Skiddaw.
