About this property

Nestling in the beautiful Buttermere Valley, this Lakeland cottage offers capacious outdoor spaces for letting off steam, and cosy interiors for snuggling in front of the open fire with friends and family.

The area around Buttermere Valley offers dramatic fells, tranquil woodland walks and comprises three beautiful lakes, so it s easy to see why the region enjoys so many visitors. Walkers of all abilities will be catered for, whether it s just a flat ramble around a lake or hill climb up a relentless fell. If the latter is what you are after, a visit to Grasmoor (0.5 miles), Haystacks (17 miles) and Mellbreak (4 miles) provide ample opportunity for hiking with the promise of spectacular views at the top. If you ve misplaced your walking sticks, visit Buttermere village to load up on supplies and treat the group to a picnic on the shores of Crummock Water. The adventure capital of the Lake District, Keswick, is only 11.5 miles away where you can try ghyll scrambling, canyoning, kayaking, paddleboarding or Via Ferrata. When you re ready to slow it down, visit Cockermouth (7.5 miles), the birthplace of William Wordsworth. As soon as you enter this property, you feel completely welcome as the sofas in front of the fire encourage you to sit down and sink into an evening of relaxation with the TV, DVD and iPod dock at hand. Next is the sunroom, a bright space in which to soak up the outstanding views of the besieging countryside. Staying on the ground floor, the chef of the group will relish cooking with the AGA, as well as a separate electric oven with electric hobs. There s also a microwave, toaster, dishwasher and breakfast bar here and next door in the utility area, you ll find a washing machine and tumble dryer, a fridge/freezer and also a handy WC. Finishing the floor is the dining room which boasts room for all eight guests with its large, wooden farmhouse style table. You ll find all four bedrooms on the next floor up: a super king size room with en suite shower room with shower and WC, storage, and a sofa for taking in the views through the dual aspect windows; a king size room also with en suite shower room with shower and WC, storage, bedroom furniture and more views; and two twins. The family bathroom resides on this floor and showcases a modern walk in shower as well as a bath and WC. Sink through the bubbles and enjoy even more views of the surrounding fells. Moving outdoors, there is an extensive garden that comprises a sizeable lawned area with picnic tables, as well as a raised patio by the sunroom, which is inhabited by a wooden bench, a perfect spot for your morning coffee.
