Nestled in the heart of the bustling village of Gosforth, which is on the western side of the Lake District National Park, this property offers easy village walks from the doorstep, and the seaside is just a few miles down the road. There are a number of pubs in the village as well as a lovely pizza restaurant. Serious fell walkers will love the stunning valleys of Wasdale and Eskdale - here you will find Scafell Range, Great Gable and Bow Fell. Or why not try your hand at paddleboarding on Wastwater or kayaking down the River Esk, all within 8 miles? History lovers will find so much on offer in the local area, from the Viking cross in Gosforth's churchyard to Muncaster Castle, which is 6 miles away, and there’s a wealth of Roman heritage in the area.

As you enter the property you will find a spacious, bright hallway with open plan living on the ground floor. There is a lounge with a kitchen/dining area.

The lounge offers a great space to kick back and relax while watching your favourite series or movies on your Netflix account on the Smart TV. There are lots of quirky features throughout the house, which add character and charm.

All rooms have been individually styled and have a homely feel. There is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.

A great place to stay and see the west coast of the lake district. Comfortable and warm but parking is a bit problematic with obviously more cars than space for the terrace row. There is a large free car park 2 to 3 minutes walk away in the centre of the village.

This was a lovely well equipped cottage. The garden was secure (not just enclosed) for even our small chihuahuas. (Sadly we didn't get to use it very often because of the weather) Beds were very comfortable. Owner left a lovely welcome pack of Borders biscuits, tea bags, cappuccino sachets & 2 lots of doggy treats & some spare poo bags. Lovely baseRead more to explore the lake District (in the village itself there were 3 pubs, only tried one of them, a lovely Italian restaurant/takeaway & a bakery) Hide

Lovely cottage, lots of bedroom space. Kitchen is very well stocked. Back garden is a great size but all pebbles so good for dogs but not so great for kids, but lovely grassed park a few houses away and grassed area opposite.

This is a beautiful home, very clean and spacious though there were only 2 of us and three dogs. The back garden area is safe and secure for dogs. Even though the cottage is on a road it was really quiet and there was no real traffic noise. The village is lovely and easy access to all the beautiful sites surrounding Gosforth. There is no village shRead moreop as it was destroyed by fire, but there is a Tesco close by. There are places to eat in Gosforth and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Hide

Orlando was a very lovely property in a nice quiet little village. The equipment in the property was in great condition. The whole property was incredibly clean and well maintained. My family and I had a wonderful stay.

Immaculate, well equipped, cosy home. Close to a great pub for food and a rather lovely Italian restaurant just 5 minutes walk away. Sadly the local shop was closed due to a fire, but when back in operation would be an even more perfect base to explore the area. Nice enclosed space for dogs which was easy to keep clean. We absolutely loved our stayRead more. Hide
