Our annex offers nothing short of spectacular views across the countryside of the Lake District National Park. This heart-warming retreat is perfect for a family, 2 couples or a couple looking to explore of the grid and away from hustle and bustle of everyday life. We have lots of places on our doorstep which are only a short drive away or lots of walking routes right out of your front door onto the fellside, we are actually on the hillside of a wainwright Loadpot. The annex itself, is 1 bedroom but we use the snug as a second bedroom, it has 2 bathrooms and 1 shower, 2 smart televisions, big corner sofa, built in top of the range appliances, a fully stocked kitchen for you to cook as you would at home (food not included), built in microwave, washing machine and separate dryer, coffee machine, wood burner (basket of wood and kindling included in your stay) breakfast bar with 4 stools, wifi (you wont be able to play xbox games on live but will happily stream netflix, social media, emails that type of thing), hairdryer, superking bed, fresh bed linen and towels, games if we have any rainy lake district days, dog bed and bowls, high chair, travel cot, off road parking for 2 cars.
We moved to the Lake District in May of this year, because we just love the place, it’s a feeling like no other raising our little family here and we would love other people to enjoy what we have on our doorstep, we spend most of our free time exploring the National park either hikig or out on the water, we have a busy gas consultancy business while also running our little small holding. We are only in the farmhouse next door should you ever need us. We have children ourselves so we love nothing more than seeing them running round laughing enjoying the wonderful Lake District. We also have our livestock which are 5 sheep, Thelma, Gracie, Louiza, Raven and Black Widow they are very friendly and will definitely come and say hi especially if you have food, we also have 2 Pygmy Goats Dale and Brennan they are always upto no good, mainly destroying my rose garden lol, they are not as brave as the sheep but will come and say hi for food. We do have our own dogs which wont be free roaming but you will no doubt see us out walking them.
Our beautiful home is only 1.7 miles away from the quaint little village Bampton, which has a wonderful pub The Mardale Inn, we have a little corner shop which stocks all your essentials it is only open 9-1 daily at the moment, but Askham stores is only 3.5 miles away and open 8-6 daily, we also have a mechanic and small petrol pump should you need anything. We have Haweswater which is only 7.5 miles away (Mardale Head for sat nav) which offers some spectacular walks whether that be up high taking in some Wainwrights or doing a loop of Haweswater itself. We are 7 miles from the shores of Ullswater which is widely thought of as the most picturesque of the Lakes. Here you can make the most of the wonderful walking or enjoy being out on the water. We are 13 miles from Aira Force Waterfall, 5 miles from Lowther Castle, Askham Outdoor Heated Pool 3.5 miles away, this is just to name a few local points of interest.
