The never-ending countryside views and an immense sense of calm and tranquillity make this holiday home a truly peaceful hideaway. Located at the top of the Lake District National Park, about 1 mile outside the picturesque village of Ireby, this rural retreat accommodates four guests on a beautiful, scenic site. It's a fantastic base from which to explore the northern Lakes, inviting you to set off from the property or take a short drive to discover lakes, fells, and endless hiking routes. An ideal space for families, the property sleeps five guests and offers a shared on-site games room with table tennis, pool, and table football - perfect for teenagers (or the young at heart).

Soft floral accents and antique-style furniture add a charming feel to this reverse-level holiday home. Enter to find three bedrooms on the ground floor, each as comfortable and inviting as the last. The master bedroom, a king-size, has an en-suite bathroom, and there's a shared shower room on this floor, too. Upstairs, open-plan living awaits in the lounge/kitchen/diner beneath the property's rafters. Large windows present far-reaching views of the surroundings, and there's ample comfortable seating and a Smart TV for restful nights in. Completing the property is a shared garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ, perfect for sunny days.

Explore the northern Lake District National Park with hikes, mountain biking, and water sports adventures. You can spend time in or around Bassenthwaite Lake (7.5 miles), discovering Dodd Wood (8 miles), or summiting Skiddaw (9 miles) and Blencathra (14 miles). Check out the Lake District Wildlife Park (6 miles), a popular attraction for animal lovers, or explore Cumbria's literary history in Cockermouth (11.5 miles), the childhood home of William Wordsworth. Venturing further north, the breathtaking scenery of the Solway Coast National Landscape is around 16 miles away.
