2 Yew Tree Cottages

About this property

Langwathby 3.5 miles. Tucked away in the centre of Culgaith near Langwathby, amidst the beautiful Cumbria countryside, is this inviting cottage, 2 Yew Tree Cottages. Set in a reverse level layout, this quirky cottage makes a great base for families or couples eager to explore the Eden Valley, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Upon arrival you are greeted by an off-road parking space before stepping into your new home-from-home. The ground floor plays host two neatly presented bedrooms, a double and twin, both with ample storage and TVs, serviced by a gleaming shower room. Make your way up the winding staircase to reach the open-plan living space, offering a real rustic feel with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove.

The kitchen features a lovely tiled splashback and comes well-equipped to satisfy your culinary needs, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and freezer. After a delicious supper, settle down on the sofa where you can reflect on the day's adventures or tune into the TV for entertainment. When you don’t feel like cooking, treat the group to an indulgence at the popular Black Swan Inn, situated just a stone’s throw away! If you’re after a greater choice of amenities then take the short drive north to the village of Langwathby, offering an 18th-century church, well-stocked convenience store and a welcoming pub.

Those outdoor enthusiasts can venture through the North Pennines and uncover the breath-taking Ashgill Force Waterfall, or challenge themselves to a strenuous hike up to Cross Fell Mountain Peak before descending to Lacy's Caves. Penrith is well worth a visit, home to an impressive 14th century castle, a well-renowned museum and the beautiful Penrith Golf Course. Further afield, the beauty of the Lakelands awaits, including the honey-pot locations of Bowness, Ambleside and Windermere! 2 Yew Tree Cottages is a fabulous retreat, all year round.

In Cumbria, the tiny village of Langwathby is situated near to the River Eden. Langwathby is a great starting point for a walking vacation because it is surrounded by the North Pennines to the east and the Lake District National Park to the west. The centre of the charming village is dominated by a sizable village green, which is surrounded by cottages, farms, and a classic inn called the Shepherd's Inn. Additionally, there is a store and post office, a village hall, and St. Peter's church, which was erected in 1718 but has some interior features that date back to the Middle Ages. The Carlisle to Settle Railway's Langwathby Station, which now houses the Brief Encounter Café, provides excellent connections to local towns and cities while providing breathtaking views of England's isolated and scenic regions. With the massive 14th century Penrith Castle situated on a green meadow, Penrith Golf Club, a local history museum, and a variety of cafés and stores to visit, Penrith is a bigger town in Cumbria's Eden Valley and is only a short drive away. On the northern shore of Lake Ullswater, Pooley Bridge is a community with charming inns and tearooms, as well as access to many walking trails and the settlements of Glenridding and Howtown. The historic city of Carlisle, which is home to a stunning cathedral, a castle, and the well-liked Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, is located to the north of Langwathby. A tranquil vacation home base, Langwathby is close to many amazing attractions.
