3 Bedroom Cottage in Rydal

Located in Rydal, a stone's throw from the Rydal Caves, this peaceful, rural retreat is the perfect getaway for families and groups of friends keen to uncover the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park. Outdoor explorers will be spoilt for choice with a plethora of manageable rambles and cycle routes beginning from the doorstep. Lace up your walking boots and take a hike around the lake, up to the majestic Rydal Caves (1 mile), to Buckstones Jump, or along the Coffin Route to Grasmere. Venture to nearby Bowness-on-Windermere, 8 miles away, to stroll around Cockshott Point, which offers plenty of pretty picnic spots, or hop aboard a traditional steamer boat to explore Lake Windermere from its best watery angle. The authentic village charm and wonderful local shops of the captivating Lake District villages of Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere can all be reached within 7 miles.

Beneath the exposed stonework exterior, the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner that welcomes you embraces the beautiful heritage of the local area, whilst providing everything you need to whip up something delicious. Lead the way through to the adjoining cosy snug to unwind weary walking muscles at the end of a long day's walk; the electric wood burner sets the scene for pure relaxation. Flooded with plenty of natural sunlight, the large yet homely lounge provides space for the whole party to hunker down and relax for the evening. A handy contemporary shower room is a welcome addition to the ground floor. Sharing the same peaceful ambience and soothing hues as the ground floor, the three bedrooms upstairs offer a peaceful haven of tranquillity to retire to. There are two king-size bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a glorious free-standing bath, and one small double. There's also another wonderful contemporary shower room on this level.

Soak up your fresh, Lakland air in the orchard garden and courtyard, which boasts a patio area perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining. Outside, you'll also find bike storage and parking for two cars.
