Riverside Cottage with secure bike storage

Riverside Cottage is part of a historic 19th century terrace & affords views of Craggy Wood behind Staveley. The River Gowan runs directly outside and there are a variety of stunning walks from the front door. The cottage is conveniently just a stone's throw from a cosy pub with beer garden, a playground & all of Staveley's amenities which include a Spar, microbrewery, artisan bakery, gelato shop to list just a few. The cottage also has the benefit of having been recently updated throughout. Perfect socialising space in the open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area complete with a stylish log burner and oak and slate floors. To the rear of the property you will find a well equipped family bathroom and access to the enclosed bbq patio area complete with teak furniture. There is also a secure slate shed where you can store bikes if you wish. On the first floor you will find a king and double bedroom both with recently fitted ensuite shower rooms. The second floor is a twin room with a den area with TV/DVD and beanbag armchairs. A baby cot is also provided, should you need it. Please do note that guests staying in the twin room on the 2nd floor do not have an ensuite so will need to use the family bathroom on the ground floor. Guests have full access to all areas of the house, patio and shed. There is a grassed area to the rear of the property but there is no physical boundary between the gardens of each cottage so we don't recommend using it for dogs.

The village centre is just a short stroll over the footbridge directly outside the cottage. The frequent 555 bus route (some with open top) from Kendal to Keswick passes along Main Street through Staveley and is ideal for visiting the main towns and villages of the National Park.
