For your entertainment, a selection of books, games, and DVDs are provided, along with a Smart TV (Netflix) with a DVD player, perfect for nights in.

Climbing the stairs of this homely abode, you will be greeted by two inviting bedrooms; one adaptable room that can be arranged as a single, zip/link king-size, or a twin to suit your needs, complete with a non-Freeview TV and DVD player for your entertainment, and a double room.

Both rooms are served by a well-appointed bathroom, boasting a bath with a shower over, a basin, and a WC, where you can enjoy a relaxing soak after a day of adventures.

Step outside to the enclosed garden, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the lawn or the gravelled area, complete with a picnic bench.

Just opposite the home is a play park and tennis courts, adding another layer of fun to your break; the village is also home to a welcoming sports and social club where you can enjoy some games and an evening tipple.

Savour your time away from the hustle and bustle by heading to nearby Stenkrith Park, adorned with unique rock sculptures and the picturesque Podgill Viaduct, a testament to the area's rich industrial history.

History enthusiasts could delve into the regional heritage at the Kendal Museum or venture further afield to the Lakeland Museum, showcasing exhibits from the Victorian era.

For a tranquil afternoon, meander over to the well-kept Castle Park, where you can amble amongst the greenery or enjoy a picnic in the summer months.

To absorb the natural beauty of Cumbria, take a trip to the Thacka Beck Nature Reserve, renowned for its spectacular assortment of flora and fauna.

Where you’ll be staying

TEBAY

Kendal 13 miles; Penrith 17 miles; Windermere 19 miles.

The charming old village of Tebay sits near the eastern fringe of the Lake District National Park. The village itself winds its way along the edge of the main thoroughfare and the traditionally whitewashed Cross Keys Inn has been there for 500 years or more. The inn is reputedly haunted by the ghost of the Tebay Witch, Mary Baynes. Along with its better-known neighbours of Kendal, Sedbergh and Appleby-in-Westmorland, the area is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and beautiful scenery. Nearby Orton has a Post Office/shop, tea rooms and the famous handmade chocolate shop. A lovely village green surrounded by 17th and 18th century cottages adds to its charm and there is a farmers' market in the village square on the second Saturday of every month. Take a short drive and discover the unspoilt lake of Haweswater, or take advantage of the excellent road links to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales.
