Resting in the historic Cumbrian village of Troutbeck, within a Lake District conservation area, lies this exquisite, three-bedroom holiday home, Rose Cottage At Troutbeck.
Built in 1732, this excellent, stone-clad cottage boasts character, original features, stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and a wealth of tastefully-presented living areas, making it a superb choice for families or sharing friends who want a peaceful, self-catered stay at the heart of the Lake District National Park.
After parking up and unpacking, make yourself at home in your fabulous new home by utilising the lovely kitchen, complete with an AGA cooker, to rustle up delicious, home-cooked meals for the whole group.
Savour your meals at the dining table before retreating to the sitting room to watch a film on the elegant Smart TV whilst you're kept warm by the flickering flames of a stylish, woodburning stove.
As day rolls into night, indulge in a long, hot bath before retiring to one of three, plush bedrooms, each an idyllic sanctuary waiting to transport you to a night of tranquil slumber.
In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee out in the garden before exploring everything your surroundings have to offer.
Take a stroll to the nearby Townend National Trust site or embark on a hike along the Wansfell Pike trail, which can lead you towards Ambleside; why not bring your bikes to explore the trails and iconic roads from the door, with the benefit of secure storage in the outside stone shed.
When you've built up an appetite, stop for some traditional pub fare at the Mortal Man Hotel or the Queen's Head, Troutbeck, both spots just a brief walk from your lodgings.
In Ambleside, pay a visit to the serene Stagshaw Gardens, the historic Ambleside Roman Fort, and the breath-taking natural location of Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.
All of this can be enjoyed during a stay at Rose Cottage At Troutbeck.
