This dog-friendly cottage, located in an idyllic rural setting 6 miles from Bassenthwaite Lake, comfortably sleeps ten people across five well-appointed bedrooms and is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Situated along a quiet lane on the edge of Torpenhow village, the two-storey cottage enjoys bright and spacious living areas, en-suite facilities, a games room and easy access to the beautiful northern fells that dominate the landscape. Original features including exposed wooden beams pair up with modern furnishings to create a welcoming and warming ambience throughout the cottage, one to look forward to after a long day exploring the Lake District. Head straight into the light and airy kitchen/diner upon arrival to get essential supplies chilled ahead of a week of lazy brunches and morning coffees around the breakfast table. The indulgent dinners created in the kitchen will be met with approving coos and wows in the formal dining room next door, its wood burner and wooden floor creating an atmosphere as comforting as the food in colder months. Few guests will want to leave the comfort of the lounge during an afternoon snooze or film night, especially when the wood burner, set in the inglenook fireplace complete with the original bread oven, is roaring. If the lounge is a little too noisy, slip into the snug between the kitchen/diner and lounge for some quiet time with a book or gaming binge. If the weather turns while the party is out, remember that a utility/boot room close to the front door is the first port of call for muddy wellies and soaking coats. Take the staircase from the lounge up to the first floor, home to a family bathroom and five bedrooms: three super-king-size bedrooms, two with an en-suite shower room; a twin bedroom; and a bunk room, perfect for younger guests. Hop into the wood-burning Swedish-style hot tub on the decked area in the lawn garden, or head back through the utility room to access the games room for darts and table tennis tournaments.
