About this property

Penrith 8 miles. This charming, reverse-level mid-terrace cottage, Tilly Mint Cottage, rests in Whitbarrow Village near Penrith, Cumbria and is the perfect place for a family holiday. Tilly Mint Cottage is within a holiday village and is fully equipped for a relaxing break; the cottage has access to a private car park, and there are a range of leisure facilities for you to enjoy. After unloading your bags at the drop-off point and parking up, make your way inside and up the stairs to come across a tastefully furnished open-plan living space. The kitchen can be found the rear of the space and is not only well-fitted but is amply equipped with everything you need to make tasty meals, including a dishwasher. These delicious dishes can be savoured at the six-seater dining table over a bottle of wine as you discuss the day's adventures. Finish off the day with a spot of unwinding in the sitting area, where cushioned sofas allow you to stretch out in front of the TV; there are also a selection of books to keep you entertained. When night falls, head downstairs to find three fantastic bedrooms, all of which enjoy wooden furnishings and ample storage for your things, the first being a double with an en-suite shower room, the second being a twin, and the third comprising a bunk bed. The bathroom is close by and offers a bath with shower over, so you can relax your muscles with a soothing soak at the end of busy days. Be sure to make the most of your on-site facilities, where a bar/cafe and laundry room can be enjoyed, as well as a children's play area, gym, heated swimming pool and a sauna! When you can finally tear yourself away from the property and holiday village, venture to Penrith, a market town resting at the foot of the North Pennines and hosting an array of amenities, as well as some fantastic attractions, including Penrith Castle and the Thacka Beck Nature Reserve. Make the most of your close proximity to the Lake District National Park and pay the town of Keswick a visit, where Derwentwater with its watersports and boating opportunities, along with the intriguing Puzzling Place attraction and Keswick Museum await. Explore more of the Lake District National Park, where the towns of Ambleside and Windermere offer plenty to see and do or travel further afield to Carlisle for the day. There is so much fun to be had at Tilly Mint Cottage!

Nestled at the foot of the stunning Pennines, Penrith is a picturesque town that offers a wealth of attractions for visitors. The imposing Penrith Castle is a striking sight, and the castle park is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Thacka Beck Nature Reserve is also well worth a visit, with its tranquil stream and beautiful woodland setting. There are plenty of charming pubs and restaurants in town, along with a range of shops and businesses, making Penrith the perfect place to stay and explore.
