Retreat with family or friends at this gorgeous abode near Bassenthwaite. Enjoy sociable evenings or steal away for some peace and quiet in the delightful sun room.

With the width and breadth of the Lake District National Park simply waiting to be explored, we can think of no better holiday location for an adventure-loving group than right here. Despite plans to spend the days hiking, biking, and engaging in thrilling sporty activities, it’s always vital to have an ever-comfortable holiday home to await you as each day draws to a close. Eight guests will find an abundance of space to rest and recharge when staying in this rural farmhouse, whether you’re kicking back in the lounge or enjoying warmer weather in the sunroom and garden. The owners have gone to great measures to ensure that guests of all ages will find something entertaining to keep them occupied including games, plenty of media and even a telescope for getting lost in those starry night skies.

On arrival you'll be eager to park your belongings in the open-plan kitchen/diner with additional sunroom, a generous area that certainly acts as the hub of the house. Complete with a sprawling dining table, handy breakfast bar and a well-equipped kitchen for feeding eight hungry mouths, this room is on-hand for packing the days picnics, planning adventures or simply sitting down to hearty meals together. The French doors and skylight in the sunroom floods the area with light and provide a great space for children to tuck into the toys and games left to play with. For the adults, a dual aspect lounge with original wooden beams and a warm, welcoming colour scheme offers a fantastic space to unwind late at night. Throw a log or two on the wood burner and switch on the Smart TV or challenge yourselves to a game of chess. Completing the property's interior offering is four bedrooms on the first floor, three of which have been designed to feature en-suites that offers that additional touch of privacy.

Parkergate Farmhouse has the most beautiful views looking westward across Bassenthwaite Lake. Its well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking while Keswick and Cockermouth are easily accessible. Its a good base for the northern Lakes.

Lovely location. Barely noticed that there are other properties on the site. The Farmhouse is larger than the description leads you to believe. Five bathrooms is a real bonus for large groups. It's very comfortable and well equipped. Shower water pressure varies by room but apart from that all is in good order.
