Long-awaited reunions and celebratory occasions are best spent in this impressive Lakeland cottage, a property that hosts 10 guests with exceptional facilities and features. The elevated abode sits above the village of High Newton, boasting far-reaching views and a generous selection of footpaths, cycling trails, and walking routes right on its doorstep.
This detached property is set out over two floors and surrounded by ample gardens, complete with a luxurious sauna and hot tub for some relaxation between long Lake District excursions. These outdoor adventures are best experienced in the company of man's best friend, so for dog lovers, the property welcomes up to four canine companions.
The property is spacious throughout, with brightly coloured accents and floral decor lending the space an eclectic feel. On the upper ground floor, the kitchen with a large dining table will bustle with lively family life, while the lounge offers a place of refuge, featuring a warming wood burner, a Smart TV, and plenty of books and games that kids will love.
Downstairs, discover a second snug lounge space, also with a Smart TV. Altogether, five large bedrooms and six bathrooms are spread across the two floors, each with its own distinct style.
Of the bedrooms, three offer zip-and-link beds for versatility in your guest makeup. The split-level garden with a terrace, children's play area, outdoor furniture, and hot tub certainly deserves a mention too, as does the invigorating sauna, accessed via the lower-ground floor wet room.
Having pulled yourself away from this incredible holiday home, you've got the Southern Lakes and Cumbria's coastline to explore right on your doorstep. Visit Grange-over-Sands (4.5 miles) and Cartmel (4.5 miles), the latter home to a famous racecourse and some gourmet restaurant options.
Explore Fell Foot (4 miles) at the base of Lake Windermere, or board a lake steamer for a scenic journey to Bowness-on-Windermere (10.5 miles), Windermere (11.5 miles), or Ambleside (15 miles).
This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
