The area has everything you could wish for and both bustling Lakeland villages are a five-minute stroll away - tempting you out to sample more than 40 excellent restaurants, bars and pubs -bliss!

Accommodation in detail: Parking for 5 cars right outside with ample further parking available free of any change very close by; a few Victorian stone steps lead into an entrance hall to this grand residence, this opens to two separate reception rooms both with relaxing furnishing and a space age wood burner to gather round. The house's owner, a former journalist, is a cricket nut and there is a gentle theme devoted to the summer game throughout the house.

The bedrooms are named for long-dead players (and in one case a legendary cricket writer). 5 rooms have king-sized beds, with one being a four-poster.

The other two rooms can be a super-king double or twin so please specify how you wish these to be arranged at the time of booking. Each bedroom has its own bathroom facility, 6 of which are en-suite, with the 7th having a bathroom just next door, all have both a bath and a shower.

Fry Second floor, but definitely worth climbing the stairs for, with something of the raffish feel appropriate to a room named for C B Fry, the legendary Edwardian cricketer and all-round Renaissance man. A lofty, spacious room with windows facing south and east, furnishings including a hand-carved French-style mahogany bed and Venetian glass dressing table.
