Overview
Property code: LCC61

This beautifully presented period cottage would make an idyllic hideaway for a romantic getaway for two.

This picture-postcard Lakeland cottage is situated north of the village of Staveley in a stunning rural location. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, it’s a wonderful retreat for a couple looking for a romantic getaway, with their hound by their side. With some wonderful walks from the doorstep and the nearby lakes and fells to explore, this property is an ideal base for outdoor lovers.

Full of old-world charm and character, this delightful home is one of three properties huddled in this peaceful valley location. Leave muddy boots and coats in the small boot room before continuing into the farmhouse-style kitchen. With an AGA, exposed beams and quirky vintage touches, this is a lovely space for cooking a meal and sitting down to eat together at the large dining table. In the cosy lounge, a wood burner sits in the inglenook fireplace, providing a warming spot to unwind together in front of a film. Stairs lead up to the beautifully designed bedroom, which has some sloping ceilings and is a haven for relaxation. Take in the spectacular views from the window, as you wake up rested and refreshed. The stylish bathroom is also on this level. Enjoy your morning cuppa or evening drink in the shared gardens outside, as you absorb the peace around you and the dog has a wander.

Unsurprisingly, this area is a hit with walkers due to the range of routes available. From Kentmere, a track leads to an impressive selection of mountains, including Froswick (2.5 miles). The historic market town of Kendal (10 miles), famous for its mint cake, makes for a great day out with shops, museums and two castles to visit. Lake Windermere (9 miles) isn’t to be missed, with water sports, boat trips and scenic walks all available.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.

Please note there is a refundable £100 security deposit for this property payable closer to the start of your holiday.

We went to The Nook for Christmas 2019 and were overwhelmed on entering the cottage ...it is an amazing place in a stunning, peaceful location. Cooked Christmas dinner on the aga and had a wide variety of cooking utensils and crockery. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very homely. We would love to return. Carole and Dave - Wirral

We had a lovely few nights at the Nook Cottage. From coming in to the warmth of the Aga and the cake waiting for us, it was great. Very comfortable with all you needed really. Log fire in the evenings was spot on after a long day out. Beautiful scenery as soon as you step out of the front door.

The Lake District National Park is a superb choice for a holiday. If you love nature and the great outdoors, the Lake District is one of the UK’s most beautiful holiday destinations. Taking up the lion’s share of the north-western county of Cumbria, the region has been popular with visitors since Victorian times, and it’s the only place to find mountains in England. Peace and tranquillity characterise the wonderful Lake District, with 16 lakes, including England’s longest and deepest, there is much to see and do. Visit Coniston Water, Ullswater, Wast Water and Windermere for just a taste of what you can see in the Lake District National Park.

Small towns like Ambleside, Windermere, Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere and Glenridding all make for great bases from which to relax and unwind between sojourns into the fantastic natural landscapes of the Lake District National Park. Wildlife and bird lovers can spot all kinds of lesser spotted species in situ, and walking trails reveal some of the very best vistas within English borders. To embellish the experience, you can enjoy some of the country’s cosiest pubs and restaurants, many found in picture-perfect locations.
