This quintessential Lake District Cottage is simply packed with character and charm throughout, but with modern facilities to ensure a comfortable and restful holiday awaits all who stay here. Inside, the historic cottage boasts a beautifully finished cottage kitchen and a beamed, yet surprisingly spacious, sitting & dining room which is warmed by a large log-burning stove. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and the house bathroom. And it's upstairs that the reason this curiously named cottage is called "Bend or Bump" will become immediately apparent! While outside guests will be able to relax in the pretty patio garden and enjoy the open views across to the Yewdale Fells - Lake District perfection! In short this endlessly charming cottage is perfect for couples or smaller families looking for a cosy, characterful cottage which is full of Lakeland appeal but with amenities and the great outdoors right on the doorstep. Ground Floor The main entrance to bend or Bump is at the rear of the cottage. Upon entering you find yourself in a bright and sunny newly-fitted kitchen, flooded with light from the roof windows and beautifully appointed with shaker style units and modern appliances. Here you'll find everything you need for a self-catering holiday including an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, fridge and separate freezer. Beyond the kitchen is the beamed yet spacious sitting and dining room, with comfortable seating arranged in front a log-burning stove above which sits a large, Smart TV - the perfect place for cosy evenings after busy days exploring. There's plenty of room for dining too with a dining table and chairs for 6 - an ideal place for energy-boosting breakfasts and hearty evening dinners in front or a roaring fire. First Floor A stone staircase leaded to the upstairs landing. It is here that the reason for name "Bend or Bump" becomes immediately apparent; a particularly low beam across the landing means a duck, or "bend" is necessary to avoid a knock or "bump" to the head. Off this first floor landing you'll find the cottage's 2 delightful bedrooms. Bedroom 1 features a king-size bed Bedroom 2 is furnished with 2 single beds. The modern and stylish family bathroom features a bath with shower over, W.C. and basin.
