The welcoming and picturesque village of Haverthwaite is home to the popular Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, where you can catch a steam train and head to the southern tip of Windermere just 4 miles away. Other local attractions include the famous Lakeland Motor Museum (2 miles), Fell Foot (4.5 miles) and the Lakes Aquarium in Newby Bridge (4 miles). Coniston Water is to the north (8 miles) and there are some wonderful woodland and lakeside walks to enjoy, with Rusland Moss and Gummer’s How nearby (both within 5 miles). To the south, the Furness peninsula is home to the South Lakes Safari Zoo (9.5 miles) and the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Stan Laurel’s home town of Ulverston (6 miles).

On entering this cosy and inviting property, the kitchen/diner offers a warm welcome. Featuring a wide range of equipment, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, as well as a handy TV, this is a great space for preparing your favourite meals which you can share around the dining table that overlooks the garden. Exploring the ground floor further, there’s a king-size bedroom which can be made up as a twin room on request. The main family bathroom is also on this floor, complete with a shower over the bath and a WC. Heading upstairs, the first floor has the light, spacious and airy lounge. This room is full of character, with exposed wooden beams in the vaulted ceiling, a cosy wood burner set in an original fireplace, and far-reaching views from the large windows which are set in an exposed stone wall. With a TV and plenty of seating, the lounge is an ideal space for unwinding in at the end of a wonderful day. The second bedroom is also on this floor: a bright and charming king-size room with exposed stonework and beautiful views from the window. The bedroom also benefits from an en-suite WC. Finally, the second floor houses the stylish shower room complete with a shower cubicle and WC – this room is set in the eaves of the house, with a low sloping ceiling and a skylight.

The weather was snowing and then torrential rain and wind but the house was cozy and warm. Spotlessly clean, beautiful comfy beds, in fact perfect in every way. Have stayed there twice and will continue to do so. Thank you to the owner and the person who makes the house ready for the next visitors.

This cottage is a lovely place to stay, it's really well equipped and has lovely views from the main bedroom and lounge area. The only downside was hearing the traffic from the road.

Excellent property. Well equipped. Kind welcoming gift. Comfortable and well equipped with all you need. Wi-Fi very good but TV variable in wet weather but that is the lakes. Bedrooms have proper charging for usb devices which is very thoughtful of modern needs. Parking immediately by property really only for one unless 2 small cars and do rememberRead more you are in the Lakes and behind the vegetation flowers on the boundary walls is stone. A great place that we will revisit Hide

A great house, very comfortable, well equipped and cosy. It is our second time there and definitely one of the best self catering properties we have ever stayed in. It is in a really good location and easily accessible to the rest of the Lakes.

Comfortable and clean. Did not realise we were attached to a property. No privacy in the garden luckily enough did not see the neighbour. Very close to other houses. On description said last cottage so I thought it was a road. But it's a little hamlet so not private. Also not happy to have scaffolding up in the garden. Had no notification of this.

The house is gorgeous, one of the best we have ever stayed in. So cosy and well equipped and the views are fab. It was a great place to explore the Lakes and Ulverston is handy for shopping and there is even a cinema. We would definitely love to go back.
