The Byre is a delightful semi-detached barn conversion situated in the serene hamlet of Brandlingill, just a few miles from Cockermouth, Cumbria, in the North of England. This charming holiday accommodation can comfortably sleep up to six guests across three well-appointed bedrooms, making it an ideal choice for family getaways. The property is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their furry companions along for a memorable stay in the picturesque surroundings of the western Lake District.
The cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished to reflect a traditional country style, welcoming visitors with its spacious hallway adorned with a quarry tile floor. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for preparing meals for the family, and features a farmhouse dining set for more formal dining occasions. Alternatively, guests can enjoy their meals in the inviting sitting room, which boasts a beamed ceiling and plush sofas, creating a cozy atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploration.
While The Byre shares outdoor space with one other cottage, it offers ample green areas equipped with picnic furniture and bike storage, catering to those who wish to explore the area on two wheels. Nestled in the tranquil Lorton Vale, the property provides a peaceful retreat, yet is conveniently located within a short drive to Cockermouth, where guests can access various amenities and attractions. The town is rich in history, being the birthplace of the renowned poet William Wordsworth, and features local highlights such as Jennings Brewery and scenic routes like the Whinlatter Pass.
Overall, The Byre serves as a perfect base for families seeking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the western Lake District. For larger groups, the option to book Tithe Cottage alongside The Byre allows for accommodation of up to twelve guests, making it a versatile choice for family reunions or gatherings with friends, all while enjoying the tranquil ambiance of the countryside.
