Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Bouth

Accommodation details

Set in the secluded village of Bouth, this Lakeland cottage is the ultimate romantic retreat, offering long country walks and cosy nights in. Bursting with character and charm, this one-bedroom abode lies to the south-east of Lake Windermere, the largest and most popular of the lakes. Providing ample accommodation for two, it's ideal for couples and solo adventurers that love nature and outdoor activities.

Perched in an elevated spot overlooking verdant countryside, this semi-detached cottage has a timeless appeal with exposed stone walls, latched doors and a wood burner in a large inglenook fireplace. Approached via a sunny patio, the front door opens into an atmospheric kitchen/diner with a country-style kitchen set on slate flooring and a farmhouse-style dining table.

Next door, the cosy lounge invites romantic nights in with sofas draped in throws, a roaring wood burner, plus a smart TV and iPod dock for entertainment. Upstairs, sink into the bathroom's free-standing bathtub to unwind, before clambering into the sumptuous king-size bed for a blissful night's sleep.

An outdoor table on the patio provides the ideal spot for a morning cuppa or evening glass of wine, and there's private parking for one car. With a pub plus a farm shop and tearoom in the village, it's easy to pop out for afternoon tea or a pub supper. For a romantic trip to Lake Windermere, head to Haverthwaite (2 miles) and hop on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite heritage steam train which takes you to the foot of the lake, and onto a lake steamer to Bowness or Ambleside.

This region is rich in outdoor activities, including walking, hill-climbing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and cycling.
