The Lake District location puts you right in the heart of England's most spectacular national park. Everything's on your doorstep - from the Lakeland Motor Museum (0.5 miles away) to the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (1.5 miles). After a day exploring those hills (which look suspiciously like they've had work done), relax in your private hot tub with a favourite drink..
The cottage sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms - a king-size master with original fireplace and a twin room (which can become a king on request). The light, airy lounge features a cosy wood burner, while the fully-equipped kitchen has everything from an electric oven to a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. Bi-fold doors in the dining room open onto the stunning multi-level garden.
Visit Windermere (2.5 miles), Lakes Aquarium (3.5 miles), the Laurel and Hardy Museum (7.5 miles), or South Lakes Safari Zoo (10.5 miles). Fancy a walk? Gummer's How offers spectacular views across the lake.
Post Lady Cottage consistently receives 5-star reviews for its spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches. The hot tub is the perfect place to soak away your hiking aches. Who needs a spa break when you've got all this?
