Chocolate Box Cottage near the Lake District
We totally fell in love with this cottage when we saw it online. In fact, there was no one there to show us the cottage and we were due back down south the next day, so we peered through the windows and put an offer in straight away! We love the gorgeous little garden which is completely enclosed and love all the features of the house - from the stunning beamed ceilings to the bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room. There are walks with views of the Pennines right from the door and yet you are only a 10-15 minute drive to the picture-postcard lake Ullswater in the northern Lake District. Local pubs and bistros are fantastic too - we love staying here and we hope you do too! :)
