Escape to the Lake District National Park with a loved one and four-legged friend in this romantic retreat for two. Beautifully presented, the characterful accommodation boasts exposed beams, oak flooring and a wood burner, with a shared lawn overlooking the lake outside. Set within a secluded wooded enclave, its peaceful position is a haven for both walkers and wildlife watchers.
Inside, this traditional Lakeland miner’s cottage has been comprehensively renovated to create stylish accommodation with plenty of original charm retained. Prepare romantic meals for two in the beautifully appointed kitchen, with its shaker-style units, Belfast sink and Aga oven. After meals, fire up the wood burner in the beam-lined lounge and settle in for a cosy night with your loved one. After a long restorative soak in the free-standing bath, sink into the inviting king-size bed in the stylish bedroom upstairs. Outside, the shared lawn area offers an idyllic spot for romantic picnics overlooking the lake.
Set half a mile back from the road that runs alongside the lake, this 19th-century cottage is the perfect base for romantic retreats with the dog. Enjoy long strolls around Ullswater, stopping at the stunning Aira Force Waterfall (2.5 miles) or the pretty village of Glenridding (1.5 miles) along the way. Beyond the lake are vast expanses of mountains, valleys and woodland just waiting to be explored, including nearby Helvellyn (19 miles) and Skiddaw (20 miles), both of which boast breathtaking views from the top. For amenities, Penrith (12.5 miles) offers a good choice of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and pubs.
