Howarth Cottage

Howarth Cottage is a terraced stone property in Westmorland and Furness, sleeping four across two bedrooms. One double bed and two singles mean flexibility for different group types, with a shower room on the first floor. Downstairs, the living room has a gas fire and smart TV; the kitchen/dining room is fitted with an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered. One car can park on site, 25 yards from the cottage.

The building sits in a row of similar Lake District cottages with steep internal stairs and a multi-tiered landing. An entrance porch suits muddy walking boots and outdoor kit. A small patio garden and bike store are available. One dog stays free, making this a genuine option for those travelling with a pet. The cottage is positioned between Windermere and Ambleside, with a service station and provisions at Troutbeck Bridge nearby, and a pub within a mile. The Lake District National Park is on your doorstep, but note that smoking is not permitted inside the property.
