Croft Head is a beautiful 17th Century detached cottage just 3/4 mile from the village, in the hamlet of Colthouse. This is a real gem of a property set in a quiet rural location with its own well cared for garden and fabulous views. The cottage is steeped in history and retains many original features, including beams, some of which are thought to be derived from the many ships of the Spanish Armada, which were wrecked off the Cumbrian coast. The owners have created a welcoming cottage ideal for family holidays - well stocked with toys, games and books to keep children amused. The enclosed garden is a real delight, with the lawn sweeping down to its own stream, complete with small cascade - great for paddling and trout 'tickling' (children should be supervised at all times). A Lakeland slate terrace surrounds the house with seating which is a perfect place to sit and admire the surrounding views and tranquility of this lovely location. There are many walks straight from the door, including a 1/2 mile footpath that takes you into the village.
