About this property
OAKBANK, family friendly, with open fire in Elterwater
Luxurious Lakeland cottage in peaceful location above Elterwater. Tastefully furnished, modern appliances and popular pub nearby. Sleeps 4 in 2 stunning bedrooms.
Amenities: Gas central heating. Woodburning stove. Double electric oven with halogen hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, washer/dryer, Smart TV, DVD, surround sound system, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rental. Bed linen and towels inc. in rental. Private parking for 2 cars. Garden with patio and furniture. Secure bike storeage and hosepipe. Sorry, no pets and no smoking.
Town: Elterwater is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A tranquil hamlet with its tiny ‘swan lake’, Elter Water, sitting at the gateway of the striking Langdale valley. The soft valley landscape is in sharp contrast to the steep jagged Langdale Pikes. Elterwater sits between Ambleside and Great Landgale, where at the top of the valley the infamous Wrynose Path is the only way out of the u-shaped valley, giving it a superb sense of seclusion. The larger towns of Grasmere and Ambleside are a short drive away providing a host of options for shopping and eating out.
