Rowan Gate

Couples and families looking for a quiet base in rural Westmorland and Furness will find Rowan Gate practical and comfortable. The cottage sleeps four across a master bedroom with king bed and a second room with twin beds, served by a shower room with walk-in cubicle. Everything needed for a week away is provided—wifi, heating, bed linen and towels—and one well-behaved dog stays free. Parking is on-site, and the owners live next door if you need local advice.

The main living space centres on a wood-burning stove, useful for colder months. Beyond the back door sits a garden mostly laid to lawn, with a patio and seating area plus a BBQ if you want to cook outside. The kitchen is properly equipped for preparing meals, and there's a dining table for eating together. A pub lies within a mile, useful when you fancy an evening out rather than cooking.

Location is the real draw. Set at the foot of Harter Fell, the cottage puts walking country on your doorstep, whether you're after fell-top views or gentler valley routes. The rural setting means genuine quiet and space, though you're not isolated—amenities and attractions are within reasonable reach. No smoking inside.
