Cumbria Homes for Six People

The Keeper

• 10 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Satterthwaite, Ambleside

Once the dwelling of the estate's groundskeeper, this Lake District property has been refurbished to become a contemporary countryside getaway. Inside, the design could definitely be described as minimalist, with walls painted in soothing whites adorned only by a few well-chosen pieces of artwork, a sleek kitchen and a preference for simple wooden furnishings.

Shine a Light on Nature

• 8 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Walney, Barrow-in-Furness

Standing proudly at the heart of South Walney Nature Reserve, quietly watching over the wildlife that calls this stunning landscape home, this beautiful lighthouse really is the perfect escape. With four bedrooms stretched across the main cottage and the single-level annexe, there’s space for all the family to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings in an elegant, welcoming home.

Scafell Cottage

• 9 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Eskdale, Holmrook

This converted barn is a hiker’s dream because, while it's nothing flashy, it's within waking distance of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. But not just that.
