Close to hiking and biking trails, a golf course, and more, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 14-minute walk to Castlerigg Stone Circle, or easily tackle the quick 3-minute drive to Derwent Pencil Museum.

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with a stovetop and a dishwasher, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include heating and wardrobe or closet.
