Property code: OC-SZ092

The property is surrounded by spectacular scenery, overlooking open countryside to the distant fells. Set off on foot to climb Blencathra or hop in the car to explore the Skiddaw Range. You’ll be just 11 miles from the adventure capital of Keswick, where you can enjoy a variety of walks around Derwentwater or hire a canoe or paddleboard to get out on the lake. The town also has a great selection of independent shops and eateries. Beautiful Ullswater is just 12 miles away, where you can board one of the iconic steamers or stroll along the Ullswater Way.

This impressive barn conversion is full of character, with exposed beams and stonework and traditional windows framing spectacular mountain views. The ground floor of the property has an open-plan layout comprising a lounge/kitchen/diner. The beautiful kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. After a day of adventure, come together around the wooden table to share a delicious homecooked meal. A few steps lead from here down to the lounge, where fabulous French doors lead out onto the patio and frame the most magnificent view. It’s easy to while away the hours sitting here, soaking up the tranquillity, but if you require a little entertainment, you’ll also find a Sky TV/DVD. Heading upstairs, you’ll discover the two spacious double bedrooms. Both rooms have vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, adding character and charm. The first double bedroom has an en-suite with a walk in shower and a WC and the second also has an en-suite, with a shower and WC.

The cottage has a private enclosed patio, with wooden benches and a table. Here, you can relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day to admire the views towards Bowscale Fell and listen to the birds singing in the trees. You’ll also have access to extensive shared grounds, with large areas of lawn, mature trees, and picnic benches. There is ample shared off-road parking available outside the cottage.

beautiful location, everything radiates peace. You can make the walking route in front of the door or within half an hour you are at another location for a nice walk. Lovely to wake up in the morning from the sheep and birds, for us the ultimate holiday feeling

Brilliant. The cottage was very well equipped, Comfortable and spacious. The beds were a pleasure to sleep in, the location was really peaceful with walks right from the door (we would recommend walks to Bowscale Tarn and Fell or Knott), the views were beautiful, the wildlife was awesome ( Red Squirrels seen in the garden) and there are places nearRead moreby for wild swimming. There are some good pubs for food in the area too, The Heardwick in Penruddock was our favourite. Would definitely book again. Hide

The cottage was in a great location in a lovely village and only a short drive to the main road. The rooms in the cottage were quite spacious and very warm. The views outside were great, as well as the gardens and outside seating areas. Couple of minor things to sort but overall very nice. Not all people visiting the area are walkers/climbers so IfRead more you have mobility problems or old family beware, there are a lot of steps inside the house.

The location of the cottage was excellent. I enjoyed the area and found the garden, orchard and access to the field ideal. The cottage was generally comfortable and well equipped. Some appliances are dated and the TV system is confusing.

Very characterful place in a wonderful setting. We loved the seating area for having our breakfast and watching the sunrise. We walked to The Mill for food and drink which I can highly recommend, its a scenic 25 minute walk away.

We had a lovely week's stay at Bowscale House. Home comforts and well equipped. It is in a lovely idyllic peaceful location, only 10 minutes from the main road and about 15-20 minutes from Keswick. We will be looking forward to a return visit!

Not a central location in the lakes but very convenient for both Penrith/M6 and Keswick. Whilst overall standards of cleanliness could be improved and there are issues with soundproofing from the adjacent studio apartment the property was overall good value for money.
