Description

Orton 1.8 miles.

Waterfall Retreat, an impressive, ten-bedroom home enjoys an enviable position, overlooking River Lune in the Cumbrian village of Tebay near Orton.

Offering expansive living spaces, set over three floors, Waterfall Retreat makes a wonderful base for a large family break or group celebration, possible to accommodate nineteen guests looking to explore the Yorkshire Dales or Lake District National Park.

Benefit from eight private parking spaces, taking in the character and beauty of your new abode.

Step indoors, hang up your coats and store your shoes, before making your way to the fully-equipped kitchen, where the chosen chef of your group can rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed on the beautiful live edge oak banquet table in the dining room; throw open the patio doors and take to the balcony, overlooking the rear courtyard, designed for alfresco dining, socialising and sunny barbecues.

On cooler evenings, light the woodburning stove and spend time in the stylish sitting room, complete with plush corner sofas, lofty A-framed ceilings, and a selection of games to keep the whole family entertained; for a quiet nook, locate the first-floor snug, where you can escape from the rest of the home with a glass of wine.

Travel down to the lower-ground-floor where you'll find a handy utility, drying room, and private gym, along with a cloakroom, shower room and twin bedroom, two king sized rooms and a super king to chose from.

On the ground floor you'll find a super-king-size room along with two shower rooms.

Head up to the first floor and you'll locate a further two twin rooms, a bathroom and a shower room, two super-king-size and a single.

With stunning views to be enjoyed from most rooms, truly escape to the Cumbrian countryside, with plenty of rural walking and cycling trails to be experienced from your doorstep, including those of the Great Asby Scar National Nature Reserve.

Cool off with a dip in the waterfall, where you'll also find the opportunity to wildlife spot and feel at one with nature, with red squirrels and kingfisher recognised a some of the most iconic.

For your nearest amenities, head into Orton, where you'll find a cafe, The George Hotel pub, and a Post Office/village store, or with Kendal a car journey away, be spoilt for choice when dining out and stocking up on the essentials.

Near the border into the Lake District National Park, make the most of visiting rural villages, lakeside attractions and picturesque landscapes, whilst making your way over to Windermere, with plenty to see and do for all types of visitors, or simply remain at Waterfall Retreat and take advantage of the state-of-the-art appliances and inviting spaces, offering all the home comforts.

This is a great cottage for a family event, suitable for a 3 generation group.

The sauna and hot tub were well used and we also enjoyed the fire pit. Kitchen well stocked with all that you need to cook for a big group and the lounge is a great space to all be together. A good find and will look to return.

The cottage and amenities were very good, but we had a wasp problem and rats in the back garden.

Both issues were reported to the owners with a commitment to exterminate both problems for future guests. Cushions on garden furniture under canopy by the river were dirty and not very accommodating. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable week and may venture back to the waterfall retreat in the near future.

A sensational house in a simply beautiful location.

The outside space, plus the sauna and hot tub were the focal point of our stay - with a brave few even cold plunging in the river. Then the bar/living room was the perfect room for our evening entertainment, and the enormous TV came into its own for a 2am England game! In addition, Sarah, our host, was tremendously accommodating and welcoming. Our party enjoyed a magnificent weekend.
