Nestling in the beautiful Buttermere Valley, this Lakeland cottage offers capacious outdoor spaces for letting off steam, and cosy interiors for snuggling in front of the open fire with friends and family.
A haven for walkers of all abilities, Buttermere is a spectacular setting characterised by towering pikes, ancient woodland and three serene glacial lakes that carry a powerful ethereal beauty. This traditional farmhouse sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and provides a tranquil setting for cosy evenings best spent sipping cocoa in front of the fire. Your itinerary will be filled with scenic rambles and hearty lunches in the friendliest of country inns, not to mention frequent visits to charming Lakeland towns and villages. For the adrenaline-seekers, Keswick (11.5 miles) is somewhat of an adventure hot spot, but you’ll also have plenty to discover from the comfort of your doorstep.
An open fire crackles in the lounge, inviting your group to settle down on the sofas and tuck into some locally sourced treats as soon as you have kicked off your walking boots at the entrance. Watch TV, play a DVD or break out some board games whilst listening to your favourite tunes using the iPod dock, moving through to the sunroom to read a book and appreciate the views if you need a moment’s peace. A country-cottage kitchen aims to please with its traditional AGA and contemporary appliances, tempting foodies with the promise of hearty meals best enjoyed around the farmhouse-style table in the dining room. There’s also a utility room for practicality and a downstairs WC. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are a restful sanctuary, two of which have en-suite shower rooms. The remainder share the excellent bathroom with its walk-in shower and bath. Outside, the extensive garden is primed for picnics on the lawn and morning coffee on the bench on the raised patio. Parking space is available for four cars and there is storage for bikes too.
