Those with an interest in culture and history are also well-catered for in the area, with the stately home at Sizergh Castle lying six miles south of the property and is a fascinating destination for a day out, particularly when coupled with a stop at Sizergh Barn, a fantastic farm shop and tearoom, which is also home to a fun and educational farm trail.

Stepping through the apartment’s private entrance, guests will come first to a garden room which provides them with a lovely place to sit back and enjoy the views across the garden. This room, in turn, leads onto the spacious lounge/diner, an elegantly styled room with two comfortable sofas, a roaring log fire, and Smart TV and DVD as well as super-fast fibre broadband. The dining area is situated at the opposite end of the room, and makes the perfect space to enjoy leisurely meals in the evenings. Next to the dining area, the kitchen is well-equipped and offers an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The apartment has two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both tastefully finished to a high standard. Guests have a choice between a shower room with WC, and a bathroom which has a shower over bath and WC.

Outside, the shared riverside gardens are an attractive place to sit out and enjoy the tranquillity of the location.

Lovely, spacious apartment in a peaceful location. Excellently located for travelling to different places. Our only downside was that we couldnt just step into the garden from the door because we like to just step out and eat. However, that wouldnt deter us from staying again our recommending this property as we really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is in a great location for exploring the Lakes. It is very homely and a good size but not the cleanest place we've stayed in. It is full of everything you might need and more. But the information pack on arrival is very basic with no local information regarding pubs, restaurants, footpaths or any real 'tourist information ' which was a Read moreshame. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay despite the poor weather for July. My wife enjoyed feeding the resident peacock most mornings. Hide

We absolutely loved this holiday home! It was large, well-equipped and extremely comfortable. It is a little out of the way from the large towns, but it was peaceful and very relaxing. The grounds themselves are truly stunning, and we enjoyed breakfast or late drinks in the green beside the babbling brook. We plan to book again!
