Exuding old-world charm, this picturesque 18th-century cottage is your quintessential country retreat. Nestled in a tranquil location high on Cartmel Fell, above the charming village of High Newton, it is a superb choice for groups of friends or family. Boasting stunning views and a games room to keep guests entertained, it sleeps up to six people and two dogs, and has a local pub 1.5 miles away.
Bursting with character, this welcoming home has all the modern touches you’d expect without losing any of the original features which make it so special. Oak panelled walls and exposed beams in the lounge create a relaxing environment to put your feet up and unwind in front of a film, while the wood burner keeps things toasty. The attractive and stylish kitchen/diner is a sociable space for everyone to catch up over a bite to eat while the cooks amongst you get to work. Guests of all ages will love the games room with its snooker table and assorted games and puzzles. The original stone stairs lead up to three comfortable and inviting bedrooms, where you’ll be snuggling up and drifting off in no time. The landscaped gardens will prove a hit with children and pets, with paths taking them through the various areas, while you relax with a drink in hand.
There are plenty of walks on the doorstep. Pack a picnic and head to the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park (5.5 miles) which is great for paddling, swimming or boating. Lake Windermere (3 miles) is also packed with activities from water sports to hikes around its shores. Closer to home, enjoy a bite to eat in one of Cartmel’s pubs or restaurants before trying the sticky toffee pudding which makes this village so famous.
