High Fold

This truly characterful cottage lies in the picturesque village of Troutbeck, midway between Ambleside and Windermere. With parts of the cottage dating back 400 years, High Fold offers an idyllic bolthole for a romantic getaway, perfect for unwinding in this special Lakeland location. Entering beyond the covered porch into this lovely home you will find the open-plan living area, boasting charm and character throughout, with exposed beams, feature period oak floors and a woodburning stove for those snug nights on the sofa. Should you choose to cook, the kitchen is equipped with a handful of amenities including an electric oven and hob, microwave and a fridge, and a small dining table for two. Discover the attractive bedroom, home to a double bed and served by a lovely bathroom offering you the choice of a relaxing soak in the bath or a refreshing shower with the overhead shower, so you can decide how to best prepare for the day. Outside, a large sloping garden is the perfect spot to sit and relax whilst listening to the tumbling stream flow against the backdrop of the Troutbeck Valley or take an afternoon stroll over the rolling hills, ideal for nature lovers. The quaint village of Troutbeck is renowned for its numerous listed buildings and strong community with a village shop and a tearoom, a church and an excellent pub serving sumptuous meals and local ales. Plan a visit to the town of Windermere with its shopping facilities, a number of cinemas, and whilst here, hop on board a cruise to enjoy a circular trip on historic steamers to soak up the views of mountain scenery, secluded bays and the many wooded islands from the gentle beauty of Lake Windermere. From diving ducks to piranha, the Lakes Aquarium in Newby Bridge is home to a diverse aquatic wildlife, while the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis Zoo is where you can see over 100 species of animals, including snow leopards and meerkats. Other attractions in the area include Grizedale Forest, Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top’ former home now run by the National Trust, and Wray Castle, a mock-Gothic castle with masses of indoor and outdoor space. With plenty to keep you busy, High Fold is that perfect base for a well-deserved getaway to the Lake District.
