The apartment is a relaxing central base for couples or families wishing to explore the Lake District National Park.

On the first floor, you will find a king-sized bedroom, with ensuite shower room, and a twin bedroom with its own dressing area. Make your way up to the open plan second floor, where you can rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen ready to enjoy at the dining table for four. After dinner, why not savour the last of the day’s sunshine with your favourite tipple out on your very own private terrace with fleecy blankets for those cooler evenings.
