Further Details

Escape the daily grind and explore Dockray at leisure, enjoying scenic walking and cycling routes such as trails leading to Aira Beck with its ethereal waterfalls 2.5 miles away. Ullswater 5 miles away is a must for gentle strolls and cruising on the lake by steamer, kayak or canoe, but adventurous types will appreciate the challenge of climbing Helvellyn 16.5 miles away. For foodies and retail therapy enthusiasts, Keswick is a 13 mile drive away with its restaurants, independent shops and amusements including a popular theatre and family run cinema. Enter via the main door and discard your shoes and coats in the storage cupboard before making your way inside, where you ll find the downstairs WC and a useful utility room with a washing machine, dryer and hanging space. Next is the charming sunroom, a double height room with impressive vistas and comfy furniture ideal for relaxing with your morning coffee. Step through into the lounge and light the open fire on chilly afternoons, settling down to make good use of the TV, DVD and SkyTV or selecting a book from the collection provided by the owners. Mealtimes are a delight thanks to the kitchen/diner with its heritage cabinetry, raised fan oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, under counter fridge, and adjoining larder/cold room with fridge/freezer. You ll have everything you need to rustle up simple snacks or hearty suppers, which can be enjoyed at the table over a bottle of good wine. Completing the ground floor is a snug room with an additional TV and seating, perfect for younger guests. Climb the stairs leading from the kitchen up to the first floor at bedtime, ready to choose from three inviting bedrooms. First is a pleasant twin bedroom, which is served by a neighbouring shower room with a shower and WC. Located at the end of a long corridor is one king size bedroom and one double. Studded between the bedrooms is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. Outside, the attractive garden has a raised patio with garden furniture for those balmy evening meals during the summer, and it doubles as a cosy spot to stargaze at nightfall. The pretty stretch of lawn has mature trees, shrubbery and flowering plants, and the views of the surrounding countryside are excellent. Ample parking is available..
