Longcliffe

About this property

Set in the quaint village of Beckermet in Cumbria just a short distance west from the outstanding Lake District National Park, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday cottage, Longcliffe. Boasting large, lawned gardens, off-road parking for up to three cars, and an array of well-presented interiors, this delightful home welcomes a family or group of six, along with their two well-behaved dogs, for a relaxing, fuss-free escape a short drive from the Cumbrian coastline. Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your lovely new dwelling, where you can begin by getting to work in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the appliances and utensils required to rustle up amazing, home-cooked meals. Savour your dinners as a group around the dining table, before you head off to relax in front of the TV and coal-effect fire in the sitting room, or with a book and a glass of your favourite tipple in the bright, inviting summer room. In warmer months, head outside and unwind upon the rear patio, where a barbecue and furniture provide everything you'll need for the ultimate alfresco dining experience. As day rolls into night, retreat to the bathroom, where you can indulge in a rejuvenating soak or shower before you finally hunker down for a well-earned sleep in any of the home's plush bedrooms. If you can tear yourself away from your fabulous new base, head out to explore what your local region has to offer. Within a stone's throw of your property, you will find The White Mare and The Royal Oak, both of which rest near the banks of Kirk Beck, and offer traditional, hearty pub fare. A quick car journey west will bring you to St Bees, where you can stock up on essentials at St Bees Convenience Store before you embark on a serene coastal walk along the St. Bees Beach Seafront. For a full day out, head east into the heart of the Lake District National Park, where you can find the attractions of the Stanley Ghyll Waterfall, The Ruskin Museum, and the Mirehouse & Gardens, as well as the magnificent mountain peaks of Helvellyn and Scafell Pike. Enjoy an unforgettable escape to Cumbria when you book a stay at Longcliffe.
