Also within easy reach is iconic Windermere (8 miles), with its literary history, bustling centre, and beautiful lake, while Kendal (9 miles) offers larger stores, supermarkets, art galleries, a theatre, and a cinema.

On arrival at this delightful cottage you can leave your muddy boots and coats in the small boot room area before continuing through to the farmhouse-style kitchen. With a large dining table, Aga exposed beams, and quirky vintage touches, this is a charming room for enjoying candle-lit suppers. After meals, step through to the inviting sitting room where an inglenook fireplace with roaring wood burner, Smart TV and DAB radio, stylish sofas, and cosy rugs await. From the small hall, stairs lead up to the bedroom, which features a king size bed, antique furniture, and spectacular valley views. The compact yet stylish bathroom can be found next door.

The Nook is such a lovely place to be. It is in a great location for walks, and the Aga and fireplace were so warm and welcoming after windy and wet walks. It is such a cosy cottage, well equipped and with stunning views. Would love to go back!

This is a beautiful place to stay. The view from the garden takes your breath away. The cottage has a beautiful feel, so comfortable and cosy. Many lovely features like the AGA cooker, but do read up on its use before going. The road from Staveley to the Cottage is a four mile narrow road with passing places but as there arent many properties meetiRead moreng traffic was occasional. The benefit of this is the silence and peace this affords and the most beautiful walks from the door. Hide

The Nook is a really fabulous place to stay; it's so cosy and warm - the perfect place for our winter holiday.
