Venture to the easy-going mountain of Catbells (2.5 miles) or tackle Cumbria’s famous Scafell Pike (9.5 miles), always being sure to stop off for a pint of something local at one of many welcoming country pubs.

Step inside and discover an impressive hallway with a grand staircase, a first impression of the stunning aesthetic of the house. From here you’ll find two lounges, both of which boast open fires, TV/DVDs and magnificent views from large traditional windows.

Along with plenty of countertop space, the kitchen boasts a triple Aga, gas hob and oven, microwave and dishwasher. Just off this room is a designated space with two large fridges and a chest freezer which leads into a utility room with two washing machines. Also on the ground floor is a traditionally decorated dining room with an impressive dining table to seat everyone in your party. An unrivalled benefit of this property is all bedrooms having ensuite facilities, perfect for getting ready in the morning and assuring no hold ups. The first two bedrooms with en-suites can be located on the ground floor, the first of which is a double and the second is a twin. Both rooms boast TVs and pretty garden views. Upstairs, via the impressive staircase, a further eight bedrooms can be found. Six of these are lovingly presented doubles with beautiful views, along with a twin bedroom that can be made into a twin on request and a final single room. Each en-suite features a WC and bath with shower attachment.

Great location and superb accomodation. Janet made us very welcome and gave good advice and support. The house was fantastic for a family reunion and had everything we needed for a graet holiday. Thoroughly recommend and would stay here again.

A beautifully located large house with great bones. Janet was friendly. Beds and bedding were fresh and comfortable, and it was cosy with plenty of hot water when the boiler was on. Kitchen very well equipped. To make the stay even better I would say the house would benefit from a deep clean, and perhaps a bit of a de clutter downstairs. We were alRead moreso all woken by the (effective!) fire alarm on the last night which went off at 1am for no obvious reason (we hadnt used the fire that eve). Hide

Greenbank house was wonderful. It was light, airy and spacious and the best environment for our group weekend. The 13 of us were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings whilst having the perfect rooms for eating and socialising. It was the perfect house for our lovely weekend away. Thank you!
