Brimming with character, exposed beams and wood panelling add handfuls of rustic charm. Spend time outside in the large garden which boasts breathtaking views of Blencathra.

Just 3 miles away sits the majestic Blencathra with its six fell tops. For rewarding ascents with panoramic views, follow the ridge-top walk on a challenging yet brilliant day out. If there are adventure seekers among you, travel 7.5 miles to Keswick where you can book to go ghyll scrambling, canyoning and paddleboarding to name just a few activities on offer. Venture 12 miles to Whinlatter Forest Park where Go Ape! is a great place to entertain thrill seekers too. For a night off from the kitchen, Keswick is home to lots of eateries, or there are two welcoming pubs in nearby Threlkeld (4 miles).

Greeted by a characterful wooden door, head inside and through to the porch where you can leave boots behind. The kitchen is equipped with large range-style electric fan oven with gas hobs and a halogen heat plate, dishwasher, microwave and a large fridge/freezer, find all you need to get cooking. The exposed beams, vaulted ceiling and circular reinforced window in the floor looking down into the ancient well below the house, all add charm and character to this room. Should you need more storage for ingredients or outdoor gear, there is a handy utility area off the lounge. Dine at the table in the kitchen and enjoy communal meals. With more exposed beams and wood panelling, the lounge is a lovely space in which to relax. Cosy up on one of the sofas and relax in the heat of the open fire as you watch TV. A door leads to a second lounge area which has book-lined shelves, an open fire and a TV so you can choose where to unwind after adventures. Head to bed in one of six bedrooms, the first of which is accessed via a door in the lounge. This spacious room can be made up as a twin or a super-king-size if requested at time of booking. Two staircases lead to the first floor, one through sliding doors in the kitchen, the other from the ground-floor bedroom. Upstairs you will find the five remaining bedrooms. There is one twin room, one double, one twin which can be made up as a super-king-size on request at time of booking, and two king-sizes, one of which has an en-suite shower room with WC. There is a family shower room with WC and a family bathroom with free-standing tub, shower and WC. The property also has  games room with a pool table and table football. There is a handy washer/dryer in the garage.

Take a drink outside and relax in the partially enclosed garden. Play equipment and furniture mean you spend time watching little ones enjoy themselves as you unwind and admire the marvellous views. At the side of the house is a raised lawn and gravelled area. There is off-road parking for five cars.

Fantastic place! Huge and great for large groups. The house had everything we needed and is very well equipped. The only negative was that there were no darts for the dartboard and both pool cues were broken. Location is quite isolated but is very tranquil and great for dogs. We did have a visit from a dog from the farm, we love dogs but one or ourRead more dogs isn't as dog friendly with unknown dogs so we had to be very careful when letting him into the garden. Hide

We hired Wallthwaite Farmhouse to celebrate my Mum's 70th birthday. It was extremely cold weather outside but lovely and cosy inside and perfect for 11 people. The games room was ideal for keeping the teenagers busy. We had a lovely weekend and were pleased that it had a low level drive up to it from the main road as heavy snow was forecast.
