The Cottage | Map | Enquiry
This traditional cottage is tucked into a shallow hillside -complete with beams, an Aga and open fire it’s like stepping back in time.
You will find Ben Fold next to a meandering lane with hardly any passing traffic so is perfect for those looking for a quiet holiday in a picturesque location.

A welcoming home, this cottage is furnished and equipped to a very high standard making it a delightful ‘hideaway’

For summer days the south facing garden is a delight - with a choice of patios and lawns on which to relax and soak up the tranquillity of this lovely area.

Ben Fold also owns an extended area beyond the cottage with trees and footpaths adjoining farmers’ fields - nesting boxes on many of the trees attract a great variety of birds.

A footpath from the garden provides an easy walk into Hawkshead, where there are lots of Inns and restaurants and shops, including a well-stocked village Co-op, a chemist and the post office

Inside ......
A large open plan kitchen/living/dining room with kitchen area covering 2 walls. Aga, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine etc. Beamed ceiling, cosy open fire and comfortable seating, TV. dining table and chairs

There are fitted carpets throughout, oil fired central heating and a phone for incoming calls and local outgoing calls.

There is also a heated outside drying room with tumble dryer (for the occasional wet day to hang coats and boots!!)

Upstairs.....
There are three rooms:

A double bedroom with lovely window overlooking the garden and benefiting from its own en-suite wc and wash hand basin

A twin room, and a second sitting room with double sofa bed (colour T.V. and video and lots of games), which can be used as a third bedroom. From the upstairs sitting room there is a second outside entrance. The main bathroom has a bath with electric shower over, basin and wc.

Note about dogs: One well-behaved pet by arrangement. As the property adjoins farmers' fields where sheep graze it is essential that dog owners do not allow their pet over the fence onto the private land.
