River Barn

About this property

River Barn is a charming cottage situated in the serene hamlet of Town End, Cumbria. Offering stunning river views and delightful living spaces, this romantic retreat is perfect for couples seeking a quiet escape amidst nature's beauty, with a toasty woodburning stove for those winter nights in! Venture through to the heart of the home, the living/dining room, where you will find everything you need to cater for yourselves during your stay. This welcoming space boasts a wonderful living space where you can put your feet up and relax in front of the TV while the amber embers of the woodburning stove keep you warm. Further along, you have the kitchen which is well-equipped with everything you need to whip up some tasteful creations to be shared around the dining table. The dining area is positioned to make the most out of the views of the stunning garden, giving you a meal with a view. Why not take the meals outside where you can enjoy the fresh air and calmness of your surroundings? The garden features a well-kept lawn and a patio area complete with furniture, offering a delightful spot for a moment of relaxation with a good book. Once your day comes to a close, you'll have a stunning king-size bed waiting for you with fresh linen, but before you get tucked in why not enjoy a hot soak in the gorgeous bathroom before getting tucked in? If you can pull yourselves away from your luxurious retreat, explore local attractions including National Trust - Wray, noted for its important wildlife site, or the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway where you can take a step back in time as you journey through the splendid Lake District landscape. Admire the many marine and freshwater creatures at the Lakes Aquarium, or explore the natural beauty of National Trust - Fell Foot, right at the very southern tip of Lake Windermere. Make sure to take time to wander through the historic topiary gardens of Levens Hall. If you crave some adventure, visit Go Ape Grizedale for a treetop challenge amongst the dense woodland, or marvel at the beautiful landscapes as you explore picturesque Holehird Gardens. Whichever way you choose to fill your days, River Barn makes the perfect base to return to and relax amidst the charm and serenity of the Cumbrian countryside.
