Kirkland Howe Cottage

Kirkland Howe Cottage, a pleasing farm-stay on the outskirts of Arlecdon, Cumbria. This pet-friendly abode is in a convenient location for families or friends exploring the Lake District National Park and the beauty of Cumbria, boasting a hot tub, open-plan layout and a Smart TV.

Pull up and park the car; this cottage is located in the valley, be sure to take notice of the lovely rural surroundings before entering. Enter the conservatory, store any boots or coats from your outdoor adventures, and in the morning, enjoy a warm cup of coffee here before heading back out.

Head through to the sitting room where the gas fire flickers, pick a spot on the plush leather corner sofa and flick through options on the Smart TV for your movie night. When hunger strikes, head to the charming open-plan living area housing a kitchen, dining area and a second sitting area.

Whip up a feast to enjoy at the circular table set for three guests, or enjoy pancakes from the breakfast bar. Enjoy a book in the sitting area, flick on the TV to enjoy a show, or gaze out the large windows looking over a stream and woodland.

Ascend the stairs to freshen up in the bathroom with a bath to soak your muscles or a shower to soothe your skin. Once your eyes get tired, choose from a single room or a double room to rest your head for the night, both bright and pleasant.

Patio door leads to the garden area, home to a decking space with furniture for alfresco dining, take time to unwind as you listen to the stream flowing nearby, then take a dip in the hot tub in the outhouse as the sun sets, and you plan the adventures ahead. Explore your surroundings with a trip to The Rum Story & Jefferson's Shop, this small museum, steeped in history, has a recreation of an 18th-century Caribbean island town, once you've uncovered the interesting artefacts and information, head to the gift shop and treat yourself to a bottle of rum.
