Burnside Cottage

About this property

Nestled in the quaint village of Cark in Cumbria, lies this lovely one-bedroom cottage, Burnside Cottage. Welcoming two guests, perfect for a couple or even two friends sharing, Burnside Cottage boasts off-road parking, close proximity to the local amenities and a woodburning stove, the perfect place to begin your Cumbrian retreat. Upon entering your new dwelling, kick back and relax on the sumptuous sofas in the sitting room in front of a roaring woodburning stove, the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of exploring your surroundings. Allow your other half to rustle up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen, becoming acquainted with a superb range of appliances, before settling down at the dining table ready to tuck in over a bottle of wine or two!

Take advantage of an enclosed raised-level patio with furniture to savour an alfresco feast as the sun sets in the distance before retreating to the first floor where you can wash away the day in a sleek shower room; catch your rest in a charming king-size bedroom ahead of kickstarting your fun-filled itinerary. From your doorstep, make use of a handy convenience store merely paces away, ideal for stocking up on the self-catering essentials, or indulge in some hearty fare and a cold beverage at The Engine Inn, perfect for treating your other half! Venture to Holker Hall and Gardens, a privately-owned country house with its own stunning gardens, courtyard café and extensive grounds for you to enjoy.

Further afield, travel into the Lake District National Park, home to Lakes Aquarium, the National Trust owned Fell Foot and The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, a must-visit for fans of the famed children’s author. Try your hand at a range of watersports on Lake Windermere or simply soak in the natural sights on foot via an abundance of walking, hiking and cycling routes; Stock Ghyll Force Waterfall is a breath-taking sight to behold and can be found only a short walk from Ambleside’s centre. However you choose to while away the days in Cumbria, do it from the superb base of Burnside Cottage.

It is a very short stroll from here to Holker Hall, the stately home of Lord Cavendish, whose house, gardens and deer park are open to the public and also now home to a licensed brasserie The Ilex. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful unspoilt countryside or visit The National Hunt Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition and the Lakeland Motor Museum, all close by. Nearby Cartmel offers quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, charming gift shops, welcoming traditional pubs serving real ales, and the nationally acclaimed Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings, mountain backdrop, fabulous sea views, promenade and two golf courses is four miles away.
