Crescent Cottage
Crescent Cottage is in Askham, Cumbria. It's a small, end-terraced cottage from the 1770s. It's Grade II listed, and it's on the edge of the Lowther Castle estate. The village itself is a conservation area, so all the buildings are sandstone.
It sleeps two people. There are two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, which is quite unusual for a cottage this size. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's comfortable and well-equipped, but it's still an old cottage. The ceilings are low in places, and the doorways aren't very tall.
There's a small, enclosed garden out the back. It's a quiet spot to sit. You get one parking space right outside.
Askham has a good pub that does food, about half a mile away. The nearest shop is in the next village, about a mile's drive.
You're right in the Lake District National Park. Ullswater is about a 15 minute drive. Penrith is 4 miles away for supermarkets. Keswick is maybe 25 minutes by car.
The cottage is part of the Lowther Estate. You can walk into the grounds from the village. The castle ruins and gardens are there, and they run down to the River Lowther. They hold events like the Lowther Show and Kendal Calling music festival there in the summer.
Facilities: there's a woodburning stove, WiFi, a TV, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. One well-behaved dog is welcome.
Useful links for planning: Lake District National Park and Lowther Castle & Gardens.
