Property code: OC-89139

Situated on a working farm in a pretty, rural location but within easy reach of local amenities in the town of Aspatria, this property is an ideal base for exploring both the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the northern parts of the Lake District National Park. The coastal town of Allonby is 6 miles, known for its 5-mile beach and breathtaking coastal walks. The area has several beautiful beaches and a number of excellent golf courses. Heading inland, Cockermouth (9 miles) is the birthplace of William Wordsworth and marks an entry point into the Lake District, with Bassenthwaite Lake within easy reach (11 miles). Keswick, situated between the huge mass of Skiddaw and the gentle beauty of Derwentwater, is only 15 miles ( a 30 min scenic drive). Keswick offers a range of pubs, restaurants and cafes with a good selection of independent shops to browse. There are also beautiful forest walks in Dodd Wood, 12 miles and Whinlatter Forest, 15 miles, which offers stunning views, fantastic walks, exhilarating mountain biking, rare wildlife and adventure play.

Enter the property from the garden through the conservatory/sun lounge; there are three steps up to the entrance. This room has great views across the fells and the garden. With comfortable seating, it offers a great place to switch off with a good book. Head through the French doors into the spacious lounge, which is a great place to catch up and enjoy a board game. Or maybe relax after a day out exploring and watch a good movie on the Smart TV whilst curled up in front of the open fire. Through from the lounge, there is a large farmhouse-style kitchen; the oak units provide ample storage, and it is well equipped to prepare breakfast or a hearty evening meal. From the kitchen, you will find a useful utility room at the foot of the stairs off the hallway. The wide staircase leads you to the first floor where there is a family bathroom and three good-sized bedrooms. The king-size and double bedroom both have views of the fells and open countryside, there is also a pretty twin bedroom.

Outside there is an enclosed garden with lawn and raised patio with seating overlooking fields with resident sheep and cows. Springtime is a great time to watch the lambs playing.

We had a fantastic week staying here. Cottage was really clean and has everything you need. Kids loved looking at the cows and sheep in the fields. Amazing location with easy access to the coast, the lakes and loads of attractions. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage is the perfect place to relax, either indoors or in the garden. It is only a three minute drive from Aspartia, where you will find a Spar and the Co Op but no pubs that do food. The cottage is very well equipped, with lots of space. In parts the cottage is a little outdated and there are one or two maintenance issues with the roof. The Read morebed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size with plenty of hot water. Bread, milk and tea, coffee and sugar sachets were left. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: The repair on the roof has now been completed. Hide

The house is lovely. The beds are comfy and it's peaceful. It was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The garden was great with a picnic table. It's close to lots of things eg the coast, the lakes, nice towns, swimming pools etc so lots to do.

We had a lovely short break in Cumbria. This area is much less busy than the heart of the Lake District, which suited us and we were surprised to discover some lovely places on the west coast, which were just a short drive away. The cottage was just perfect, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Fantastic rural area yet within easy driving distance of some charming towns. The property is at a working farm so you get a real sense of the hard work & dedication the family puts into their business to deliver high quality products we all take for granted. The house is no exception which has that homely feeling, clean & comfortable with some supRead moreer views. Our next holiday will be here again if we can find an available date that works for us. Well Done, Sally & Joseph!!! Hide
