Home truths
There are stairs to climb at this home so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility – the home is spread over three floors.
There’s a desk in bedroom three for those working remotely during their stay – just be aware that this room is in the eaves so there’s limited headroom.
The super-king-size bed in bedroom two can be split into twins if preferred – just let your host know.
On arrival, you’ll need to collect the keys from a lockbox.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
