Full of original features and characterful touches, this pretty 17th-century cottage is the perfect rural hideaway for up to four guests. Located in the peaceful village of Bouth, it’s in an excellent spot for exploring the lakes and getting out and about on foot to follow one of the many local footpaths. A stylish garden room provides a beautiful additional spot to take in the peace and tranquillity of this lovely area.
Both quaint and cosy, this delightful property is at the end of a row of cottages and is a welcome retreat to head home to after a busy day. The attractive, country-style kitchen/diner is a bright space for cooking up a tasty snack or meal which can be enjoyed together, two small stepsdown lead to a lovely lounge. Curl up on the inviting chairs and sofa in the cosy lounge, where a splash of colour, beamed ceilings and a warming open fire add to the ambience of this charming space. The family bathroom has a small step up to it, it is also located on the ground floor, while the two tastefully designed and restful bedrooms can both be found upstairs on the first floor. Stepping outside, a gravelled courtyard leads to a spacious garden. Here, you’ll find the garden room, which is a relaxing space which has been finished in a contemporary style. An added wood burner means it can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
