Small but perfectly formed, this delightful stone-built cottage is a luxurious love nest between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks. With easy access to some of Britain’s most magical landscapes along with a host of quaint market towns, this is a great base for exploring the region. Boasting a private terrace with an outdoor hot tub, stunning country views, and an elegant four-poster bed, it’s perfectly suited for couples that love a balance between nature and luxury.

Laid out over a single floor, this gorgeous, contemporary property is a beautiful blend of comfort and style. Underfloor heating with thermostats in each room, hyper-fast broadband and high-end appliances cater to your every need. After adventurous days, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner invites you to rest and recharge. The kitchen is equipped for preparing simple meals with appliances including a Nespresso coffee machine and dishwasher, and the breakfast bar is ideal for meals for two. Snuggle on the sofa to watch a film on the wall-mounted TV or head out to the terrace to bubble beneath the stars, glass of wine in hand. There’s also a bistro table and chairs for al-fresco dining, with views over the waterfall and stream that flow through the Mill House Estate. Bursting with natural light, the super-king-size bedroom is a haven of relaxation with a four-poster bed and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the terrace and countryside. A contemporary shower room with bathrobes completes the interior and there’s private parking for one car.

A delightful base for lovers of the great outdoors, this is a superb destination for walking, cycling and birdwatching. Trails lead out from the property through picturesque dales, fells, rivers and woodland, while it’s 21.5 miles to Lake Windermere. A country pub and village store take care of basic amenities in the village of Barbon (2.5 miles) while the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale (7 miles) is a food lover’s paradise.

Tony and Trish made sure we felt right at home - very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was well equipped and the underfloor heating ideal when coming in from the hot tub.
