It’s part of a complex of three other cottages, one of which is the owner’s home. Set off from the doorstep with walking boots or bikes and discover the nearby hill of Binsey just 3.5 miles away, which offers far-reaching views across Bassenthwaite Lake. This lake (5.5 miles) is a great place for walking, cycling, paddleboarding, canoeing and picnics. It is also the home to a variety of animals, including ospreys and cormorants. Visit the Lakes Distillery (6.5 miles) and stock up on your favourite tipple for a wonderful evening. The popular market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick are also within 12 miles and offer a variety of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

The cosy seating area features a Smart TV so you can sit and watch your favourite shows or movies whilst admiring the picturesque views through the large window in the background. As you move towards the kitchen, you'll find it well-equipped with modern appliances, ready for culinary adventures. The dining table sits by a Juliette balcony, allowing you to dine with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Outside, there is an unenclosed courtyard garden to the front of the cottage with outdoor seating and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation.

My husband, our six month old baby and I had an amazing stay at the Ash Tree Cottage. The view was wonderful and it was lovely to hear and see all the animals around us. The cottage was sparkling clean and you could see the attention to detail all around you. It had all the equipment you could want and the location was actually better than I expectRead moreed in terms of driving distances. We wholeheartedly recommend! Hide

Lovely cottage with beautiful country views over fields of sheep and cows, with birds nesting in the courtyard roofs. Great place. Its not in or near Bassenthwaite or Keswick. We had to drive along country lanes each day to climb into the hills. But it is so well arranged with large kitchen/diner/lounge all in one upstairs and bedrooms down below.
