Nestled between the Lake District National Park and North Pennines is the fantastic, semi-detached Powleys Cottage, resting in Langwathby, Cumbria.
In a charming location and with two bedrooms sleeping four guests, the cottage is perfect for two couples or a family with older children, with plenty of walking routes and historic towns within reach.
Inside Powleys Cottage, you will find custom décor adding a rustic charm to the interior, as well as contemporary renovations for an easy self-catering holiday.
Step into the kitchen/diner and stock up the cupboards with the essentials, where you'll also find excellent amenities for hosting a dinner around the beautiful, bespoke wooden table for four guests.
The neighbouring sitting room offers a large Smart TV and a woodburning stove set in a fabulous feature fireplace; relax on the sofas, catch up with friends and plan the next day's adventures.
Make yourself at home in the two spacious bedrooms on the first floor, with one super-king with a dressing area, plenty of storage space and a Juliet balcony overlooking the picturesque village, alongside a king-size which also features storage space and pretty views.
With attractive tiling and colours, the bathroom is a lovely space to kick-start your day with a hot shower or unwind in the afternoon with a bubble bath.
Dine alfresco or enjoy a glass of wine in the enclosed front garden, with a patio, shed for storage and outdoor seating, as well as a lawn area to enjoy the sunshine.
Staying in Langwathby, you'll be in a great location to explore the Lake District and Cumbria.
Powleys Cottage is just around the corner from a local shop and a traditional pub, so you can take a break from cooking and enjoy a local evening out.
For a busier town with more amenities, head south east to Penrith; play a game of golf at Penrith Golf Club, explore the impressive Penrith Castle with grassy meadows for a picnic, or spot local wildlife whilst you wander through Thacka Beck Nature Reserve.
Journey a little further to Pooley Bridge, resting on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater, for numerous scenic walks or for a peaceful cruise down the lake to other wonderful villages such as Howtown and Glenridding.
In the northwest of the Lake District, you'll find Keswick, a charming market town surrounded by mountains, where you can access the breath-taking Catbells Lakeland Walk, stroll around Derwentwater and through ancient woodlands, or stay in the town for illusion exhibits at Puzzling Palace, alongside plenty of shops, cafés and fantastic museums.
