This 2-bedroom (3-person) self catering holiday cottage is at the bottom of the Kirkstone Pass and well placed for walking many Wainwright peaks, exploring the Lakeland valleys, and engaging in water sports. Mill Cottage provides spacious, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation of a high standard in an old Grade II listed building, in which exposed beams, pitched rafters and wooden floors feature prominently. With a beckside location in outstanding countryside, the cottage has the main living rooms on the first floor to take full advantage of the extensive and magnificent views. The south-facing patio, overlooking open countryside towards Brotherswater and Dovedale, is in a lovely sunny and sheltered position, an ideal location for those refreshing drinks after a day on the fells. The sound of running water from the beck, and the seclusion of the garden will encourage relaxation andthe on-set of holiday-mode. Awarded 4-Stars and Gold Award (from Visit England) and a Certificate of Excellence (Trip Advisor), the cottage is comfortably furnished, and well equipped. It is more spacious than expected, according to our guests, for a 2 bedroom cottage. The main room, kitchen and a bathroom are on the first floor to take advantage of thr panoramic views, and being open to the rafters and having roof windows, gives the place a sense of light and openness. A wood-burner offers a cosy atmosphere at cooler times. Rustic in character, the cottage has exposed beams and rafters, oak and ash hardwood floors and ash doors, as well as a pitch-pine staircase. The entrance hall has a local slate floor. There is a gated area at the front of the cottage for parking. The cottage is in the small hamlet of Hartsop, amongst the fells which are accessible from the front door, allowing your car to be left behind. If you are a walker, then the cottage couldn't be better located, as the fells are at the doorstep..
