Dating back to the 18th century, this stunning farmer’s cottage has been beautifully renovated to provide luxury accommodation while retaining its original charm and period features. With its village setting and being just a stroll away from the shores of Ullswater, this property most certainly has the wow factor. Entering through the rear door of the cottage, guests will be charmed by the cosy sitting room with feature fireplace, log burning stove and exposed beams. A choice of deep-cushioned sofas and huge armchairs make this is the ideal spot in which to curl up and relax after a busy day outdoors. Boxtree’s kitchen is fabulous. Extremely well-equipped, with shaker style units, natural stone floor and up-to-date appliances, this bright and airy room has everything needed to cook up a fabulous family meal. The adjoining dining room, with its farmhouse style table and chairs, is prefect for enjoying a lazy breakfast or more formal supper. Through the kitchen to a wonderful sunroom overlooking the adorable cottage garden, and a useful cloakroom-cum-drying room with separate wc completes the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs the master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, iron bed and period furniture complimented by an en-suite bathroom with attractive roll top bath. The equally charming double room comes with modern en-suite shower room. The cottage garden faces south west and is entirely enclosed, a safe place for dogs and children to play. There is parking for two cars and a lockable stone outhouse is perfect for storing mountain bikes. This is also where guests will find the tumble dryer.

Glenridding and Pooley Bridge are close by, while the A591 runs from Keswick to Grasmere and on to Ambleside.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle (The Windsor of the North), Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
