Extra Amenities

If you’ve ever imagined waking in the morning with the sight of rugged mountains and stunning Lake District landscapes all around, then this is the place for you. Helvellyn, the third highest mountain in England, standing at 3114 feet, serves as the perfect backdrop to this idyllic Lake District cottage. Its location between Thirlmere and St John’s in the Vale offers stunning panoramic views to the surrounding fells and farmland, with dramatic views of some of the most revered walking and climbing routes in the area.

This quaint, end terrace cottage has been carefully furnished with a modern and contemporary twist to offer a great base for the perfect adventure in the Lake District National Park. Sleeping up to six adults in three good-sized bedrooms, this property is perfect for multiple couples and families alike. Featuring two separate living areas it offers plenty of flexibility. The first, a snug, is perfect for reading or even a snooze. The second, with Freeview TV and a wood burner, is great for cosy nights by the fire and a movie night.

With an open plan kitchen and dining room, you will love the social aspect to this house and it offers the perfect space for dinner or preparing your energising food for a day in the fells. It also has a separate downstairs toilet and utility room with washer/dryer. On the first floor you will find two spacious double bedrooms, one featuring an en-suite bathroom with shower cubicle, a good sized twin room and a separate family bathroom complete with bath and separate shower. At the rear there is a lawned garden with a raised decked area, garden furniture and great views. Perfect for soaking up the morning sun as it breaks over the tops of the fells.
