2 Bed Cottage in Wellington

About this property

Perched on the western edge of the Lake District National Park, and 4 miles from the beach at Seascale, this stylish cottage gives you the best of Cumbria’s coast and countryside. Enjoy windswept walks and perhaps tackle iconic peaks like Scafell Pike (7.5 miles), Britain’s highest mountain, or tuck into tasty pub dinners as you take in the gorgeous views. With space for four guests, this period home accommodates a family trip or two couples holidaying together.

After entering via a charming picket gate and garden path, you’ll be greeted by an elegant interior with plenty of natural colours and materials, carefully chosen artwork and thoughtful finishing touches. Relax with fellow guests in the welcoming lounge, complete with a wood burner, comfy sofas and a Smart TV. The elegant kitchen has an apron sink and an elegant monochrome colour scheme, while its adjoining dining room has a wooden table for socialising and eating. Windows and glass doors from here overlook the garden. There are two lovely bedrooms – a king-size and a double. The cottage also has a convenient home working space, just in case you need to deal with business while on holiday, and a family bathroom with striking green tiles. In the lawned garden, which has a stream running through it, you can dine alfresco on the patio furniture provided.

You’ll be in a peaceful rural spot 1 mile from the village of Gosforth, which has a shop, a pub and a café. The local area is a true treasure trove for nature lovers, with scenic walking trails at Ponsonby Fell (3.5 miles) and Eskdale (5.5). At Wastwater (4.5 miles), you can go kayaking or paddleboarding on England’s deepest lake or tuck into a picnic on its banks.
