Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot, Penrith

Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot is exactly what it says on the tin - a genuinely quirky stone cottage just 1 mile from Penrith and 5 miles from Ullswater Lake. This characterful property features original beams and has been kitted out to high standards throughout. It's the perfect base for exploring the Lake District without being stuck in tourist central.

Located on the edge of the Lake District National Park, you've got the best of both worlds. Pop into Penrith for supplies or head straight to the hills for proper adventures. The cottage sits in a small village with two pubs within walking distance - both dog-friendly with play areas and good grub. No designated driver needed when the beer's calling!

Inside you'll find two bedrooms - one king-size and one twin - plus two bathrooms including a wet room with rain shower and a family bathroom with bath. The kitchen comes fully equipped with electric hob, oven, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. After a day of rambling the Wainwrights, cycling or water sports, soak your aching muscles in the private hot tub or cosy up by the wood burner.

Fancy some local exploration? Aira Force Waterfall is just 11 miles away, while Helvellyn awaits more adventurous types at 16.5 miles. Horse riding, cycling and water sports are all on your doorstep. The cottage even comes with a travel cot and highchair if you're bringing tiny humans.

Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot is perfect for families or couples wanting that magical mix of countryside calm with easy access to activities. And yes, you can bring the dogs too - the enclosed garden will keep them safe while you're busy getting pruney in that hot tub!
