Description: An idyllic small cottage for two tucked away along a quiet country lane; no crowds, few cars, just wonderful high fells, a beautiful river and ancient woodlands to explore in a lovely quiet valley of old Westmorland. 'Bluebell' is a delightful place; it has just been completely renovated to a very high standard and is luxuriously comfortable. The cottage is furnished in country style with Liberty and Laura Ashley fabrics, antique pine furniture, an old elm staircase and little curios in the nooks and crannies. Everything is included in the price; central heating, logs in winter, electricity, gas and all linenThe lounge has a real log fire, beamed ceiling, windows overlooking the garden, comfortable two-seater sofa and armchair, occasional tables and lamps, colour television, dining table and bookcase with books and games.

Location: Bluebell has its own private garden surrounding the cottage; this is lovely, with a natural stream and interesting country garden plants. There are seats to sit in the sun and seats to sit in the shade - all with wonderful views - and garden furniture for outdoor meals on the terrace overlooking the stream. The mountain scenery surrounding the cottage is breath-taking and as you would expect in such an unspoilt area, there is a marvellous variety of wildlife; pied flycatchers and redstarts nest in the garden, there are badger setts in the nearby woods and occasional sighting of roe and red deer Wonderful walks straight from the door, visits to the nearest lakes: Ullswater, Haweswater and Windermere; exploring the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales; 'discovering' quaint little villages; enjoying excellent meals at nearby country pubs; it is all easy from Bluebell Cottage and a hand-written guidebook lists the many local walks, good country pubs and interesting places to visit. The tranquillity and the 'get away from it all' atmosphere surrounding the cottage is wonderful and yet all the amenities of the The Lake District National Park are within a few minutes drive. The best of both worlds!
