This charming property, situated just 5.5 miles from Penrith, is the perfect bolthole for families or couples to explore the beautiful Lake District. Spacious and welcoming with exposed wood beams throughout, this holiday home is an opportunity to embrace the countryside, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got a relaxing haven to return to in the evenings. Spend the day exploring the trails at Aira Force waterfall (10 miles), or take the walk to Greystoke Castle grounds (2 miles) and stop at the pub for a hearty meal before heading home. The property, which sleeps five across three peaceful bedrooms and even has space for two dogs, has a pleasant, cosy feel. The open-plan living area is fresh and bright with stylish lighting and large windows, but draw the blinds at night and curl up on the sofas in front of the wood burner-style electric fire and it becomes the ideal little den to wind down in. Upstairs, tranquil decor in the bedrooms promise a good night’s sleep; wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day, but not before preparing a delicious breakfast in the kitchen that has everything you need to cook up a storm! Take the kids to Abbott Lodge (9.5 miles) which produces over 30 flavours of Jersey ice cream and has 16 types available at any one time! They will love meeting the cows and calves in the field and there are play areas available too. The Derwent Pencil Museum in Keswick (15.5 miles) is also well worth a visit, as is the rest of the town where you’ll find plenty of independent shops and galleries. And if you’re looking for a challenge, tackle the ridges of Helvellyn, starting from Patterdale (13.5 miles).
