Staveley 1.5 miles.

An elegant holiday cottage, set in the centre of a barn conversion at Ghyll Bank within the Lake District National Park, close to Staveley village.

The cottage is presented to an excellent standard with two bedrooms, a luxury family bathroom and a spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen.

Both bedrooms are beautifully furnished, whilst the bathroom has a touch of luxury and a feature beam across the back wall.

The kitchen and dining area lead to a bright, charming sitting room, which enjoys beautiful views out across the fells and an exterior door leading to the patio.

You can sit outside and enjoy the views in the sunshine over lunch, or relax with a drink in the evening.

This wonderful cottage is a mile and a half from Staveley, and an excellent holiday base for exploring The Lake District throughout the year.
