Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot is exactly what it says on the tin - a genuinely quirky stone cottage just 1 mile from Penrith in the Lake District. This cosy two-bedroom retreat combines original beams and character features with modern comforts, sitting at the gateway to some of England's most spectacular scenery.
Located perfectly for Lake District adventures, you're just 5 miles from Ullswater and within easy reach of the national park. The cottage sits on the A6 (yes, it's a busy road, but secondary glazing sorts that right out). Two dog-friendly pubs are within walking distance (350 metres).
Inside you'll find two comfortable bedrooms sleeping four guests, with two bathrooms (no more morning queue for the loo!).
