Outside
Gardens surround the cottage, to the right of the cottage is lies a lovely little walled garden with fell views and garden furniture. To the left lies a fantastic lawned beck side garden with patio, a great place to while away lazy summers days. A fence is in place in the beck side garden however we recommend that children and pets should be supervised in this area due to the proximity to the stream which can be deep after rain.
There's also a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer & storage area for bikes and outdoor gear.

Bed linen, towels, electricity, gas, Wi-Fi, gas fired central heating & initial logs for the fire.
Available to hire
Travel cot & high chair.
Parking
Driveway parking for 2 cars.
Please note the entrance to the cottage driveway is level, but narrow. We wouldn't advise anything larger than a standard family car, however 4x4's do fit and we recommend using your own judgement. Free parking is available on the road outside the cottage.
