Lacet Cottage

Originally built as two cottages, this spacious detached cottage, hidden down a country lane, is surrounded by its own lovely garden.

Downstairs, there’s a cosy lounge with log burning stove and Smart TV; a separate snug/reading room and the open plan kitchen with dining area is a lovely place to eat together. Outside, there’s a lovely garden, patio and the boot room, ideal for outdoor gear. Upstairs to two luxurious bedrooms, one with king-size bed and a feature roll top bath with a sneak and peek window and views across the countryside. The second bedroom, again with lovely views, offers a sumptuous super king-size or twin. To complement the bedrooms there is a shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC. Back downstairs there is a further shower/wet room with walk in shower and WC. A useful utility area too, with fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer and from here a door to the garden. To the front of the cottage there is a small garden but offering more privacy the rear garden extends to a small orchard and includes a patio with bistro garden furniture. The owner of Lacet Cottage also has two other quality properties located close by – Home Farm House (Sleep 6) and Highgate (Sleep 8)

Hutton John is a small hamlet close to Watermillock and the popular village of Pooley Bridge at the northernmost tip of Ullswater, with lots of selection pubs, cafes and shops to enjoy, and is popular all year round. There’s a huge selection of footpaths and bridleways and there are walks and cycle routes for all. Travelling from the central Lakes over the stunning Kirkstone Pass, drop down into the beautiful glacial carved landscapes surrounding the Lake itself, with villages along its shoreline. At the southern end of the Lake you will find Glenridding, a popular little village and a starting point for Helvellyn and Striding Edge. A gentler walk is Aira Force, probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls. The main force falls some 70ft below a stone footbridge - so don't forget your camera. Ullswater is thought by many to be the most beautiful of all the lakes in the northern Lake District, being a serpentine body of water snaking a nine-mile course close to magnificent fells, woodland and mountain. Much of the lake, its shore and surrounding fells are accessible to explore, and the newly completed Ullswater Way takes you all the way round. If you’re wanting to get on the water, there are steam cruises from Glenridding and Howtown. Further afield & a 20-minute drive is Keswick the main town of the north lakes, a bustling market town set between the peaks of Skiddaw and the gentle beauty of Derwentwater. Here you’ll find good shops, a host of restaurants and cafes, along with museums, a theatre, cinema and leisure centre. Take a boat trip or hire one for yourself and explore the shoreline and little bays. The market towns of Penrith and Alston lie to the North West on the edge of the Eden Valley and are well worth a visit. Grasmere & Ambleside lie to the south. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1040825, 1041463, 1113726, 1113729, & 1128654, together sleeping up to 26 guests.
