Set in beautiful, peaceful landscape, in the heart of the Lake District National Park, just off the Dales Way, the footpaths, bridleways and walled lanes provide lovely walks directly from the door. The Central and South Eastern fells are all within easy striking distance, making this a great base for ambitious walkers and amblers alike. In springtime you’ll see lambs playing in the fields around the cottage and in summer and autumn you can often gather wild raspberries or blackberries along the lanes. There is abundant local wildlife to be spotted including deer, owls, pheasants, rabbits and hedgehogs, not to mention the wildflowers. And on a clear night enjoy awe-inspiring stargazing. You can stroll to the local inn in Crook, just a mile from the cottage. The inn in Ings (with micro-brewery) and the popular village of Staveley are both delightful 2-mile walks along scenic lanes with magnificent views of the high fells. In Staveley, beside the River Kent, the gastro pub and the brewery are favoured places to eat and drink, and there are excellent cafés, a much loved fish and chip shop, and a superb ice-cream parlour. You’ll also find a grocer, a butcher, a coffee roaster and an award-winning bakery, along with a bike shop (with mountain bikes for hire), and excellent public transport links, including a station on the Windermere branch line. At Plumgarth’s, a short drive from the cottage, there’s a fabulous farm shop, café, baker and tasty pie shop. Michelin-starred dining can be found nearby at the restaurants in Crook; or treat yourselves to sumptuous afternoon tea or try the other highly rated gastro inns in the area.
Bowness-on-Windermere is a 15-minute drive, and there you can ride the ferry or steamer or hire a kayak or paddleboard. You can enjoy all of the visitor attractions around Lake Windermere such as the Aquarium of the Lakes, the Lakeside to Haverthwaite Steam Railway, The Beatrix Potter Attraction, Wray Castle and the Brockhole Visitor Centre with its Treetop Treks, climbing wall and adventure playground. Local museums and historic houses include Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage and his old schoolhouse in Hawkshead, Ruskin’s house Brantwood, Beatrix Potter’s cottage Hill Top, and the Arts and Crafts manor Blackwell. The market town of Kendal, just 5½ miles away, has a castle, excellent art gallery, cinema and arts venue, leisure centre, outstanding indoor climbing centre, riverside walks, historic alleys and streets, and a wide variety of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Other very local adventures include riding on majestic Clydesdale horses further up the lane at Whasdyke Farm, a variety of well stocked fishing spots for keen anglers, and golfing at the picturesque 9-hole course at Beckside, just over a mile away in Crook. Shop 2 miles, pub 1 mile, restaurant 3 miles.
