About this property
An exquisite retreat for two, this delightful accomodation makes for the perfect romantic stay in Cumbria. Offering ground-floor, studio-style accommodation, the charming one-bedroom haven is one of three sumptuous hideaways that, collectively, sleep up to 16 guests within the Georgian mansion. Providing exceptional privacy for couples, the apartment nestles in the Eden Valley, in quiet Armathwaite, 10.5 miles from Carlisle and 5 miles from the edge of the picturesque North Pennines. The scenic Lake District, with its rolling fells, begins 12 miles from the property. Plan a day trip to Pooley Bridge, 18 miles away, within the national park. Here, you can head out on beautiful Ullswater by booking seats on one of the famous steamers or hiring your own rowing boat or canoe. Follow a section of the circular Ullswater Way to walk along the shores of the lake. See Hadrian’s Wall, 11 miles away, during your break.
Arrive at the apartment by driving through the electric security gate and into the courtyard and parking area. Amble inside via the original front door to the impressive Grade II-listed manor house. Find yourselves in a sleek, open-plan studio space. At one end is your contemporary-style lounge, kitchen, and diner, where you can settle on the loveseat, with the wood burner roaring and your favourite box set streaming on the Smart TV. Conjure up romantic meals for each other in the kitchen area, then open a bottle of wine and dine together at the table. When day turns to night, wander over to the bedroom space, which is set behind a partition. Here, you have a luxurious super-king-size bed, where you are sure to indulge in a superb night’s sleep. Wake up to treat yourselves to a steaming hot shower before making fresh coffee in the machine. There is also a cloakroom and work area within the apartment.
Pick up one of the soft robes supplied and head out into the courtyard to relax in the hot tub. Dine out here whenever the weather is fine before meandering through the wider, shared grounds to savour the serenity and keep your eyes open for wildlife. This apartment comes with parking for one car. There is a refundable security deposit of £200 to be paid directly to the owner prior to arrival.
