  • "This is a wonderful location, quiet and peaceful despite being on The Cumbria Way."

    The cottage has all the facilities I need and is very comfortable. Also nice enclosed garden spaces with plenty of bird feeders and food! Excellent WiFi access. This was my third visit and I am sure I will be back again soon.

The property

This picturesque cottage rests amid beautiful Lakeland scenery, close to the rural village of Skelwith Bridge.

The property is thought to have once been a byre attached to the very old farm cottage next door and is known to be converted into a dwelling in 1904 - now it retains many original features and offers a cosy and relaxing retreat for a family in any season.

Enter into the beamed and oak panelled dining kitchen, beautifully fitted with hand-built units and worksurfaces, as well as offering modern appliances without detracting from the character of the interior.

Discover the cosy sitting room, complete with a large sofa, electric woodburning stove and TV with DVD player, together providing the perfect space to rest and recuperate following a tiring day of rambling your surroundings.

Upstairs plays host to the bedrooms, including a double and twin bedroom, each complete with calming neutral hues and charming countryside furnishings that are in-keeping with the property.

Completing the interior of Park Cottage is the bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, basin and separate WC.

Head outside to the front of the cottage to find a small garden, while there is a larger space at the rear with garden furniture, providing a pleasant setting to enjoy your morning coffee before setting off for a day of sightseeing.

From the door the scenic Cumbrian Way is not far away, providing excellent walks to Coniston or Elterwater and the riverbank walks beyond, with a pub at either end to reward yourself with a refreshing pint.

Great Langdale beckons the serious fell walkers onto the high peaks and famous ridge walks of Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and the Langdale Pikes.

With a good pub and restaurant at Skelwith Bridge and the Chesters by the River tea room close-by, you will be tempted to eat out without the need to use the car, but if you do, there’s a greater choice of eateries in Ambleside, less than 5 miles from the cottage.

Hop on board the iconic Windermere Lake Steamers, offering a relaxing cruise across the water and providing access to the bustling hubs of Bowness and Lakeside, home to attractions for all tastes and ages.

Further outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed at Coniston, Grasmere and Hawkshead, all within an easy drive of the property.

Park Cottage is a wonderful retreat to a delightful part of the country.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

AMBLESIDE

  • Grasmere 4.4 miles
  • Windermere 4.7 miles
  • Keswick 16.7 miles

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
