Peacefully located and surrounded by stunning scenery with spectacular views in all directions, these delightful cottages have been carefully converted from the barns of a former farm steading to retain the open beamed character. In an AONB, the properties are two in a little group of four, located between Torpenhow and Ireby on the northern fringe of the Lake District. Attractively furnished, well presented and equipped to E.T.C. 5 Star standard, the living accommodation is set on the first floor to take full advantage of the outstanding views, including stunning sunsets over the Solway. There are pleasant walks and cycle routes from the doorstep along lanes filled with wild flowers and wildlife, such as the occasional red squirrel and deer (excellent bird-watching). The popular market towns of Keswick (on the shore of Derwentwater) and Cockermouth (birthplace of William Wordsworth), are full of interesting shops, restaurants, galleries and tourist attractions, the former with a leisure pool and the latter with a swimming-pool. Romantic, quiet and peaceful, yet an ideal base for the Lakes, Solway coast, Scottish borders and Hadrian’s Wall, there are several pretty fellside villages nearby. Sailing is available on nearby Lake Bassenthwaite. Armathwaite Hall Hotel, a 10-minute drive, offers a swimming pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi and steam room._<ul><li>Elec, full oil CH incl </li><li>Elec ‘wood burner’ incl</li><li>Ample parking</li><li>Shops 5 miles</li><li>Freeview TV</li><li>DVD</li><li>Radio/CD</li><li>Shared laundry room with auto wm, t/dryer</li><li>M/wave</li><li>D/washer</li><li>Fridge/freezer</li><li>T/cot</li><li>H/chair</li><li>Garden with patio, furniture</li><li>Barbecue</li><li>2-acre shared grounds with children’s play area</li><li>Rare breed sheep, miniature shetland ponies</li><li>Shared external games room with table tennis, pool table, table football</li><li>Welcome tea tray, complimentary bottle of wine</li><li>Milk, eggs, bread avail</li><li>Duvets, linen, towels</li><li>Non-smokers only</li><li><em><strong>Friday to Friday</strong></em></li></ul>_Double bedroom with pretty lace-draped four-poster bed.
