Stanley Ghyll Cottage in Lake District National Park, Cumbria

Stanley Ghyll Cottage Self-Catering

Seek out this traditional stone cottage in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Even though the home itself is 500 years old, it’s full of modern luxuries such as a brand-new country style kitchen and beautiful marble bathroom. These are offset nicely against the traditional features of exposed brick walls and original wooden beams. Located in a place of superlatives, not only is it within walking distance to England’s highest mountain, but also its deepest lake, steepest road, and the oldest working watermill. Before setting out to discover all of these delights, why not start the day with an invigorating dip in Stanley Ghyll waterfall, a twenty-minute drive away. After a day of exploring, get cosy in the snug as you make the most of the full Sky television package. You can even stream your favourite shows seamlessly through fibre-optic broadband. Personally, we prefer to just switch off from it all in the secret walled garden with sublime views over the fells. When night falls, cosy up in the warmth of the cottage and watch the stars come alive through the skylight windows.
