About this property

Cockermouth 4.3 miles. Peacefully positioned in the idyllic village of Embleton, just a short stroll away from the banks of Bassenthwaite Lake, Dale View is a traditional single-storey dwelling offering a warm and welcoming retreat to the Lake District. Return from an action-packed day exploring the fells to this homely abode, kicking off your muddy boots before unwinding on the sumptuous sofas that decorate the living/dining room, and enjoying the heat from the log effect electric fire. Cross on over to the dining table and delight in a delicious home-cooked meal, lovingly prepared by the chef of the group in the beautiful oak kitchen hosting a plethora of handy electrical appliances. A few steps away, three attractive bedrooms adorned with pretty country-style furnishings and fresh white linens offer a wonderful place to lay your head to rest at the end of the evening, whilst a light and airy bathroom sits right across the way and can be found boasting a spacious bath tub and separate walk-in shower. One king size bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Kick-start your days with an early morning swim in the indoor swimming pool heated to between 27 and 29 degrees celsius ( to have access to this please note there is a £150 surcharge which you will need to pay before your arrival) ,before indulging in a hearty home-cooked breakfast out in the garden whilst the dogs play happily on the lawns. Relax in the sun room with a warm cup of tea and a book, before leaving behind this incredible abode and discover the stunning scenery of Dubwath Silver Meadows Nature Reserve on a breath-taking walk. Avid hikers can climb to the heights of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Scafell Pike, and seek thrills in Whinlatter Forest Park on an exhilarating cycle or an afternoon spent flying through the treetops at Go Ape Whinlatter. Enjoy an animal encounter like never before at The Lakes Distillery where you can walk friendly Alpaca, or spend the day at Lake District Wildlife Park and meet the exotic residents and see over 100 species of wildlife. Visit the neighbouring town of Keswick and uncover attractions such as Puzzling Place, Castlerigg Stone Circle and Keswick Canoe & Bushcraft, or stop off in the coastal town of Workington to see the remains of Workington, the Helena Thompson Museum and the picturesque Port of Workington. Bask in the sunshine of Moss Bay Beach as you tuck into a tasty ice cream or a portion of fish and chips, or visit the town of Ambleside where you can enjoy dinner and drinks in some of the finest restaurants in the Lake District. Spend quality time with loved ones on an escape to Dale View.
