Tucked away in the tranquil village of Bouth, this cosy and pretty cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the southern Lake District. Sleeping three people and one hound, it will particularly suit a couple or small family looking to enjoy a truly rural getaway. With the local pub around 200 metres away, and a variety of hikes and days out on the doorstep, this attractive home offers a convenient and relaxing retreat.
This charming home is full of character and many of its original features remain, giving it a lovely traditional feel. The bright lounge is a great space for relaxation, with comfortable sofas surrounding a warming wood burner which adds to the room’s ambience. The colourful dining room is great for family meals, while the country-style kitchen is packed with everything you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or snack. Heading upstairs, two inviting bedrooms await and you’ll be snuggling up under the covers and drifting off in no time. Soothe aching muscles with an indulgent soak in the spa bath in the main bathroom, which is also to be found on this floor. Step outside and get the BBQ going in the delightful garden, and watch the sunset on another great day.
The village lies at the southern end of the Rusland Valley, which is popular for its peaceful setting among low fells. You’ll find many local walks and cycle trails to explore. Lake Windermere is 4 miles away and can be explored on foot or by boat, while there are various water sports to try as well. If food is your thing, don’t miss a day trip to the village of Cartmel (12.5 miles) which is famously home to the sticky toffee pudding and boasts many great places to eat.
