Nurses Cottage
This is Nurses Cottage in Askham. It's a detached stone cottage in the village, so you have your own space. It sleeps six, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. One has a walk-in shower.
The place has a proper wood burner in the living room. It's been done up recently, so it feels fresh but keeps the old cottage character. The garden is enclosed, which is good if you've got dogs or kids.
You're right in the village. There are two pubs and a village shop. Askham Hall is here too, which has a posh restaurant and an outdoor swimming pool you can book. Lowther Castle is just down the road. The gardens are massive and there's an adventure playground for kids. You can hire bikes there.
For the lakes, you're well placed. Ullswater and Pooley Bridge are about ten minutes by car. You can get the Ullswater Steamers from there. Haweswater is about fifteen minutes drive the other way, nice for a quieter walk.
Penrith is the nearest proper town, about ten minutes away. It's got supermarkets, shops, a few restaurants and a cinema. Keswick is further, maybe forty minutes, but that gets you to Derwentwater and more walking.
The best thing is you can walk straight from the door. The River Eamont path goes past King Arthur's Round Table and Mayburgh Henge. You can get up onto the fells from here too, like the High Street range.
Facilities are all there: parking, wifi, dishwasher, washing machine, bike storage. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs.
