Holiday cottage to rent in Curthwaite, Cumbria

Accommodation details

This spacious family-friendly property on a Cumbrian working farm provides a peaceful rural retreat and a brilliant base for exploring the local area. You'll get to experience life on a dairy farm where chickens and ducks potter around free range; you'll also get to enjoy fresh farm eggs during your stay.

At the end of a private drive, this charming house has lots of character, space, and original features. The lounge/sunroom is somewhere for you all to relax and dine together, with comfy sofas, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner, and a dining table and chairs with views across the garden. There's also a lovely country kitchen.

Off the entrance lobby is a shower room and an attractive twin room with an ornamental fire and Smart TV. Upstairs there's a king bedroom with wooden beams and pine furniture, a cosy single and a smart family bathroom. There's lots of space in the garden, where you can sit surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Sitting in the heart of stunning Cumbrian countryside, the house is only 8 miles from Carlisle, with lots of shops, eateries, and exciting attractions to visit, including Carlisle Castle (7 miles away), which is well worth visiting to discover its turbulent history across nine centuries. Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is 7 miles away and anyone interested in planes will love the Solway Aviation Museum, 17 miles' drive from the house at Carlisle Airport – it was RAF Crosby-on-Eden's airfield during WWII.

Solway Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is a 13-mile drive, and the famous Scottish village of Gretna Green is 17 miles away. You'll be spoilt for choice for walks during your stay with pretty routes from the door and the stunning Lake District Park National Park just 6 miles away.
