Forget Me Not

About this property

Nestled in the heart of the peaceful village of Armathwaite, in the sought-after county of Cumbria, is this charming three-storey holiday cottage, Forget Me Not. Encompassed by scenic countryside and comfortably sleeping up to three guests, Forget Me Not offers a delightful rural retreat for a small family or a couple looking for a romantic escape. Park up on the roadside before unloading your belongings and making your way inside this lovely dwelling, kicking off your muddy walking boots as you step over the threshold and enter your home-from-home. Be welcomed into the marvellous kitchen, with exposed beams and wooden surfaces paired with modern amenities and stylishly tiled throughout, perfectly blending traditional with contemporary. Make use of the facilities provided to rustle up some tasty treats and venture through to the conservatory to indulge in the fruits of your labour, backed by the stunning countryside setting. If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, step outside and soak in the last of the evening sun with a leisurely seat on your private patio, planning your thrilling holiday itinerary as you enjoy your favourite tipple. Settle down for the evening and climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find the snug sitting room, enticing you to put your feet up and unwind in front of your favourite film on the television, warming your toes with the glow of the woodburning stove in the cooler months. As the evening draws to a close, prepare for bed with a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the tub, or opt for a quick rinse by making use of the overhead shower, before heading to the second floor to rest your head in either of the two well-presented bedrooms, with the choice between a double and an intimate single. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the centre of the unspoilt village of Armathwaite where you'll find all your local amenities; indulge in a spot of pub grub at the family-run Dukes Head Inn, reward yourself with a refreshing pint of cask ale at the Fox & Pheasant Inn, or head to Eden Stores to pick up some treats to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home. A short train journey will take you to the vibrant border city of Carlisle, steeped in history and home to the imposing 12th century fortress of Carlisle Castle, Cumbria's Museum of Military Life and the striking architecture of Carlisle Cathedral. Treat yourself to a spot of retail therapy with a visit to The Lanes Shopping Centre, test your swing at Stony Holme Golf Club, or if you time it right, catch a game of live sport at Carlisle United FC. No trip to Cumbria would be complete without a visit to the Lake District National Park, where you can explore the varying terrains and landscapes including the world-renowned Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, and the rolling peaks of Skiddaw, Helvellyn and Scaffell Pike, promising a challenging hike for the avid outdoor adventurer. For a rural retreat, choose Forget Me Not.
