Escape to the quiet hamlet of Outgate with a stay at this beautiful Lakeland cottage. Sleeping four guests across two restful bedrooms, this is the perfect base for couples and small families planning Lake District adventures together. Stroll straight from the door to Tarn Hows (2.5 miles) for a postcard loop, or head 2.5 miles in the opposite direction towards Windermere's scenic shoreline. Coniston (5 miles) is also within easy reach for lakeside walks and steamboat spotting, while Esthwaite Water (2.5 miles) is ideal for a quieter circuit and some fishing. Food-wise, you're spoiled for choice, with the Outgate Inn just around the corner and the world-famous Drunken Duck awaiting a mile away. Pop into Hawkshead (1.5 miles) for the Beatrix Potter Gallery or head to Ambleside (4 miles) for picturesque tea rooms, two cinemas, and a climb up Wansfell Pike.


Step inside this tastefully preserved cottage and you'll immediately notice characterful features such as the exposed oak beams and original stone walls. You'll be greeted by the beautiful lounge/diner, which is warmed by a multi -fuel burner on those chillier days. Unwind in here after days spent outdoors; sink into the soft seating, flick on the TV, and start planning tomorrow's itinerary. Nearby, the round wooden dining table invites you to gather around for pre-hike breakfasts and post-adventure dinners. Cook your holiday feasts in the unique kitchen, where an original iron grate sits alongside modern appliances for an easy self-catered stay. When it's time to call it a night, follow the steep cottage stairs to the first floor and choose from two pretty bedrooms: a master bedroom with a king-size four-poster bed, and a cosy twin featuring a period fireplace. Completing the home is a downstairs bathroom with a bath and WC, plus a separate shower room – meaning no queues in the morning.


When the sun shines, spill outside to the walled garden, where pretty flower beds surround a small lawn space with outdoor dining furniture. Enjoy peaceful morning coffees and al fresco evening meals out here, and take advantage of the secure storage for your bikes. Completing the property is garage parking for one car, making your arrival and day trips a breeze.
