About this property
Poppy Cottage, Cosy 19th Centry traditional cottage, 5 miles from Bassenthwaite
Located in the small village of Bothel on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park, this 2 bedroomed character cottage is comfortably appointed throughout to provide relaxing accommodation. This Lake District cottage is perfect for couples or small families to enjoy time together in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The cottage has a fantastic multi fuelled stove set in an Inglenook fireplace. Comfortable seating in the lounge with TV/DVD/WiFi and CD player. There is a fully fitted kitchen with dining area, cooker and hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. A further chest freezer is located in the utility building which also has a washing machine and tumble drier. This building can also be used for the secure storing of bikes.
The spacious bathroom provides a bath and separate shower cubicle.
The cottage has one double bed room and one single bedroom.
We provide all bed linen, towels, tea towels, oven gloves, an initial supply of logs and coal for stove, dishwasher tablets and hand wash. All electric, gas and WFI are included in the price.
Outside the cottage there are two enclosed gardens both laid to lawn with flowerbeds and several seating/dining areas and a comfortable summer house to make the most of the wonderful out door space.
Poppy Cottage is PET FRIENDLY.
There is a local pub within 250m of the cottage which serves food throughout the day and also has a shop on site.
The vibrant Lakeland town of Keswick is less than 12 miles away and offers a host of shops, restaurants and public houses. Cockermouth is located 7 miles from the cottage and is a really quaint town offering a host of shops and restaurants. Gretna is a 40 min drive away with Outlet shopping.

I've sold this cottage now so it can no longer be rented out!!!
Its impossible to remove my listing via the owner website so I thought I would tell you here!
DONT BOOK THIS COTTAGE!!!
There is no way for owners to contact vrbo - not even an email address or phone number that is actually answered!!! too big a company.
