This cottage couldn't get more idyllic if it tried. Bask in the gorgeous period features, and when you're relaxing after a big meal, open the French doors in the kitchen to let in the tranquil sounds of the River Lyvennet. The dark oak beams, rustic wood-burner and comfy armchairs keep things extra cosy inside, while the spacious patio terrace makes for an ideal spot to wine, dine and relax outside. The cottage is set in the village of King's Meaburn and it's a short walk to the local pub, which serves up hearty roasts and real ales. There's plenty to explore in the backyard - including the river, paths to walking trails, and a lawn that is perfect for games of cricket or croquet. For adventures further afield, this area is rich in history and choice. Lake Windermere is a forty-five-minute drive away, where you can hire a rowing boat and try your best at reciting the Romantic poetry the lake inspired, or potter around one of the many museums. The grand Acorn Bank is not far, with a history revolving around the Knights Templar. For cyclists, routes run all around Eden Valley, with stunning views of villages and countryside.... Surrounded by the North Pennines, Lake District, and Yorkshire Dales, this home is perfect for exploring some of the UK's most beautiful national parks.

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....
