About this property
Lavender Cottage is a delightful character barn conversion with gorgeous countryside views and fabulous walking country on the doorstep. There are two country pubs within a mile and Penrith, the gateway to the North Lakes, is a ten minute drive. Built from the local stone and renovated to a high standard, Lavender Cottage is one of three cottages in this development and can be hired along with Daisy and Poppy for larger groups of family and friends. Lavender Cottage sleeps 4 and is ideal for a small family, friends or even as a romantic getaway for a couple.
Lavender Cottage is at the end of the row of the three attached cottages and the accommodation is light, airy and of a high standard. The conversion has been sympathetically done, maintaining plenty of character and adding contemporary style. You walk into a large open plan living area with squashy sofas, a dining table and a fully equipped kitchen area. Everything has been finished to a very high standard, including the two spacious bedrooms, one adult sized bunk bedroom and one double, and the family bathroom with shower over bath, hand basin and WC. There's a separate laundry room for washing and drying your clothes. Outside you'll be bowled over by the incredible views from every angle. Enjoy them from the patio area in front of the cottage, or use one of the picnic tables in the enclosed paddock which is the perfect area for children to run free. There's private off-road parking for your cars and shared use of the BBQ. If you love the great outdoors then Lavender Cottage, with its excellent access to the Caldbeck fells, Ullswater and Keswick, is the ideal base for exploring the glories of the North Lakes. Penrith with its shops, restaurants, bars and cinema is just a ten minute drive while there are several pubs within a mile of Lavender Cottage. Whether you want to walk, cycle and hike the fells or explore the range of water sports on offer on the Lakes, there's so much to see and do in Lakeland. Don't miss a trip to Aira Force with its nature trails and celebrated waterfall, or the unparalleled views from Hallin Fell, surrounded on three sides by Lake Ullswater. Or take a trip over the scenic Kirkstone Pass to explore the life of Beatrix Potter around Windermere. Wherever you go, there are unparalleled views, great family attractions and superb food which is why the Lake District is a must visit destination. If you want to see the Lakes in comfort and on a budget, then Lavender Cottage is an outstanding choice at any time of year.
Greystoke is full of history, being home to a number of 17th century cottages, and is only 5 miles from Penrith. Situated on the outskirts of the Lake District National Park, there is plenty to do for those who love the outdoors. Nearby is the town of Keswick, offering a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as numerous activities including the popular Theatre on the Lake.

Wydon Farm is a beautiful and peaceful place, and the cottage was incredibly tidy, comfortable and had everything I needed to feel at home and relaxed. Fantastic location and such friendly owners. Thank you so much for having me!

It was clean, comfortable & everything we needed was provided. The location was ideal. The owners Val & Roger were lovely and introduced themselves to us at the beginning of our holiday. We will definitely be back!
