About this property
Lying in the scenic village of Bassenthwaite boasting breath-taking views of the encompassing Lake District National Park, you will find the stunning detached cottage of Brackenrigg Toll House. Set over the ground floor, this pet-friendly property offers the ultimate countryside retreat for a family of six who seek an action-packed stay in Cumbria. Be welcomed into the warm and restful sitting/dining room that exudes character and charm through the eye-catching woodburning stove that takes centre stage. Flick on the TV and enjoy a movie with the help of the DVD Player as you allow yourself to sink into one of the plush sofas, before making your way into the beautiful cream kitchen and preparing a loving meal for your nearest and dearest with the help of the impressive electric range cooker, whilst the rest of the group takes a seat at the lovely wood dining table, discussing the upcoming adventures that lie ahead. You will also find a well-designed utility room where guests can keep on top of the laundry and wash off their mud-splatted clothes following an exciting expedition in the great outdoors. When you begin to feel yourself tire, retire to one of the three homely bedrooms including a king-size with the benefit of an en-suite shower, a double and a twin. Across the way lies a spacious and contemporary family bathroom, home to a walk-in shower and a large tub, perfect for indulging in a long and relaxing soak at the end of the day. Venture out into the enclosed back garden to soak up the sunshine on a warm summer’s day, whilst the chef of the group takes to the barbecue and cooks up a mouth-watering family feast. Make the most of your magnificent surroundings as you embark on a scenic stroll along the Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve. Grab your walking boots and head for Blencathra and Skiddaw, or travel to Dockray to see the glistening waters of Ullswater and Aira Force. Take a tour of the grand architecture of Mirehouse & Gardens, before stopping off in the town of Keswick to see the engaging exhibitions of Puzzling Place and Keswick Museum. Uncover the ancient landmark of Castlerigg Stone Circle boasting panoramic views of the awe-inspiring landscapes of the encompassing countryside. With so much to be explored, Brackenrigg Toll House is a fantastic choice for your next family escape to Cumbria.
