Located in the pretty hamlet of Outgate, close to an 18th century pub, this enchanting retreat makes a wonderful base for a couple or small family to explore the natural scenery and unmissable attractions of the Lake District. For lakeside ambles, peaceful cruises and an array of water sports, you're located between Coniston Water, Esthwaite Water and Lake Windermere. Ambleside is only 4 miles away, where you can explore boutiques, pubs and places to eat, snap a photo of the tiny, historic Bridge House and perhaps even catch a movie at the independent cinema. While in the area, don't miss the National Trust's Stagshaw Gardens, Ambleside Roman Fort and the impressive Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Tarn Hows (2.5 miles) is a popular beauty spot with walks around a picturesque lake, while the World of Beatrix Potter attraction (9 miles) brings the esteemed author's tales to life – perfect for little ones.

This handsome three-storey cottage has been carefully modernised and reconfigured, preserving many original features such as exposed beams, low ceilings and doorways, planked doors and internal steps, while incorporating modern upgrades. In its cosy lounge/diner, plenty of soft seating is gathered around the focal point of a glowing wood burner in a stone inglenook, making this a truly inviting space for a quiet evening with a good book or a movie on the Smart TV. Bench seating surrounds a small dining table, ready for cooked breakfasts and celebratory suppers. Three steps (one shallow, two high) lead up to the kitchen, where you'll find everything necessary for easy holiday food prep – and even a wine cooler. When you're ready to turn in for the night, head upstairs to find the two bedrooms, both of which are dual aspect and feature delightful country views. The double room on the first floor has an elegant wooden sleigh bed, a dressing table and clothes storage. It has use of an elegant bathroom (up three steps) with a shower over the bath. A short flight of stairs takes you to the second-floor, with its twin bedroom, which has beautiful metal beds, and a pretty shower room with a WC.

Leading off the kitchen, the property benefits from a small, walled, courtyard seating area. Although there is no private parking at the property, there is a layby at the top of the lane approximately 30 metres away (subject to availability).
