6 The Mews is a gorgeous one-bedroom cottage with an enclosed garden that has been beautifully furnished throughout to provide a cosy holiday home for two guests, perhaps for a walking holiday or a romantic getaway. The building dates back decades to its former use as an agricultural building; indeed, No 6 was formally the turnip store! The buildings were converted in the 80s (and the turnips removed) to provide the wonderful accommodation available today. Being a corner groundfloor plot, No 6 also benefits from a large enclosed garden, complete with garden furniture, to make the most of the countryside views. The garden will be ideal since this property allows up to one dog. One dog is permitted free of charge. Additional dogs may be accommodated based on their breed. Please contact us before booking to enquire. Parking for one car. Travel cot and high chair not provided. Please bring these items with you if required.

Nestled within the Eastern Fells of the Lake District National Park and in proximity to Haweswater, Bampton is a quaint hamlet characterised by St. Patrick's Church, charming traditional dwellings, farms, a multi-functional establishment offering a shop, post office, and tea room, a local pub, a few bed and breakfast accommodations, and holiday residences. Despite the captivating allure of its surroundings, this picturesque haven remains relatively undiscovered. Set against the agricultural landscapes enveloping the village, the head of the valley boasts Haweswater and the rugged magnificence of the surrounding hills and fells, which include High Street, Harter Fell, and several low-level walks meander along the banks of the River Lower. Haweswater also homes the stunning Haweswater Hotel, which has magnificent views and a fine dining experience. Nearby Lowther Castle is a must-visit; visitors can explore the castle's remnants, have a go on the amazing adventure playground and appreciate the architectural and historical significance it holds within the Lake District's cultural heritage. If you don't fancy the castle, you can visit the Birds of Prey Centre, or perhaps walk the many footpaths through the castle grounds.
