Peacefully situated on a vegetable and grassland farmstead, these cottages have been converted to a very good standard from a 200 year old barn and retain a good deal of its charm and character. Its tranquil location in a quiet area between the Solway Plain and the North West Lake District National Park, makes it ideal for getting away from it all, but equally enables easy access to North and West Cumbria. The breathtaking beauty of the western Lake District is on the doorstep, while to the north is Silloth and the Solway Coast, 10 miles, well known for its golf courses. William Wordsworth was born in nearby Cockermouth, 20 minutes. Keswick, 25 minutes, is surrounded by stunning fells and lakes and is a walker's paradise. Carlisle, The Border City, is within easy reach, 20 minutes, and over Hadrian's Wall takes you into Scotland. The cottages all enjoy stunning views over Cumbrian countryside towards Skiddaw and the Lakeland fells. The immediate surroundings are very pleasant to wander. Set off from your doorstep and meander along the old disused railway line or the banks of the Little Waver, which runs through the farmland and includes three wildlife ponds. Discover the wildlife including red squirrels, badgers, deer, foxes, and a rich variety of birds. Enjoy home grown vegetables straight from the field. Shop 3 miles, pub 1½ miles.
