About this property

Enjoying a tranquil spot in the picturesque hamlet of Skelwith Fold, this pretty 17th-century Grade II-listed cottage makes a fantastic family retreat in the heart of the Lake District. Offering cosy, warm and characterful accommodation for four guests, this delightful, terraced property has been beautifully updated while retaining many traditional features including wooden beams, an impressive fireplace and warming wood burner. This tastefully decorated and elegantly furnished cottage makes a wonderful base for discovering Windermere, Grasmere and Rydal Water.

Entering this adorable property, a step leads up into the warm and traditional lounge. With plenty of seating, a wood burner, TV and a handy book nook with rocking chair, the rustic feel of the lounge makes this a relaxing and peaceful space to unwind in. Exploring further, the pretty dining room is ideal for everyone to get together to enjoy a favourite family meal, which you can prepare in the spacious kitchen. Upstairs, there’s a handy bathroom and two peaceful bedrooms: a light and cosy twin room, and the double room with wood-panelled walls and far-reaching rural views.

The cottage is just a mile from Skelwith Bridge, a small village near the Skelwith Force waterfall. The charming town of Ambleside (2.5 miles) has an array of independent shops, restaurants pubs and a couple of cinemas. The immense lake of Windermere is a great location for water sports, ferry trips and spectacular lakeside walks (3 miles). Bowness-on-Windermere (7.5 miles) is home to The World of Beatrix Potter, with other attractions including the Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawskshead, Hill Top, Claife Heights and The Old Man of Coniston (all within 10.5 miles).
