A brilliant destination for family reunions or get-togethers with friends, spend days adventuring all the local area has to offer before relaxing and chatting by the open fire.
A pair of pubs lie close to home in Boot, so you can tuck into delicious feasts and raise a glass to holidaying in the Lake District with loved ones. Sitting in the valley of Eskdale, find yourselves with plenty of tracks and trails to head out on including walks to Burnmoor Tarn (2 miles) and Stanley Ghyll waterfall (6 miles), or pack your swimmers and jump in for a wild dip in one of Esk’s natural pools. Explore both coast and countryside and make the 10-mile trip to Seascale for a day on the sand and treat yourselves to a tasty portion of fish and chips before returning home.
Arrive at this wonderful home and get ready to settle in. Head to the kitchen where you will find a double electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer to help you cook delicious meals to enjoy together. There is also a washing machine and tumble dryer. The breakfast table is perfect for gathering around with a cup of tea and for utilising as extra space to prepare ingredients. Dine in style in the grand dining room where a long table comfortably seats all 16 guests and has an original Victorian fireplace with an open fire to keep you warm. The dining room is also home to a piano, music system and somewhere to sit with a tipple or two, or you could fetch a board game from the cupboard in the hall and enjoy a competitive night. After dinner, head through to the inviting lounge where the sofas welcome you to sit by the second open fire and switch off in front of the Smart TV/DVD. Climb the stairs to the first floor where you can find four of eight bedrooms. Boasting terrific fell views, two king-size bedrooms are treated to en-suite shower rooms with WCs and there is a family room with three single beds. Completing the first floor, a single bedroom has an adjacent WC and there is an additional shower room. Find the four remaining bedrooms on the second floor along with another family bathroom and a separate shower room – all have low sloping ceilings. One double and three twins all have lovely views and hand basins so you can drift off for a peaceful night.
Boasting fantastic views, the enclosed border garden is a wonderful spot to enjoy. Let dogs stretch their legs whilst you spend a moment sitting and relaxing. 2 acres of natural grassland can be found at the rear of the home too, so there is no shortage of places to bask in the sun and enjoy a stroll. There is off-road parking.
