About this property

Offering snug and cheerful accommodation for two guests, this beautifully updated retreat is perfect for walkers, cyclists and nature spotters eager to explore a breathtaking corner of the Lakes. The cottage lies in a quiet spot in the picturesque village of Buttermere, close to a cafe and pub, and with the lake of Buttermere just half a mile south. Crummock Water is a mile to the north, and the area is dominated by the dramatic peaks of Red Pike, High Stile, High Crag and Whiteless Pike, all within 3 miles. Other major lakes, including Ennerdale Water, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake are all within 15 miles, offering breathtaking walks and opportunities for water sports.

A welcoming porch leads you into this characterful hideaway, with an entrance hall leading through to a light and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This delightful L-shaped room has several windows offering glorious rural views. There’s ample seating, a handy electric fire and a TV in the comfortable lounge, ideal for unwinding after a meal enjoyed around the central dining table. The room then curves round into a fully equipped and stylishly arranged kitchen with plenty of workspace and storage. Exploring this bright, airy and relaxing bolthole further you will find a charming, tastefully decorated bedroom with a lovely king-size bed. The accommodation also features a refreshing bathroom.

Heading outside, the enclosed garden has a sweet lawn and outdoor furniture, offering a relaxing spot for dining alfresco at the end of a fantastic day and for taking in the majestic views of the surrounding woodlands and fells. Private parking is available for one car outside the cottage.
