In an endearing location just outside of the heart of Gosforth in Cumbria is Bowbridge, a lovingly-restored cottage sleeping six guests and their canine companion. Perfect for a family escape or a break amongst friends, the cottage is situated within reach of the coast and encompassed by the delights of the Lake District National Park. Off-road parking greets you on arrival, before stepping into the living/dining area, a space fit with a corner sofa and Smart TV for cosying up after a day of walking, and a dining table for four guests where you can plan your itinerary after dinner. From here, the well-equipped kitchen offers a sleek design, yet keeps with the charm of the property, and is fit with everything you need for a self-catered stay. Get your rest before another adventurous day; upstairs you can find two double rooms, ideal for any couples in your group, and a twin for the children or friends sharing. Head into the local village of Gosforth to stock up on your essentials at the local shops, stop for refreshments in the country pubs, or dine out at The Wild Olive or The Lion and the Lamb when you don't feel like cooking. Just a short drive or long and leisurely walk with your pooch will lead you to Seascale where you can enjoy the sounds of the sea and a beach-side walk. Railway enthusiasts will love a day at the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, while history lovers can spend part of the afternoon exploring the ruins of Ravenglass Roman Bath House and the grand grounds at Muncaster Castle. Be sure to take advantage of your surroundings in the Lake District National Park, with a trip up Scafell Pike if you're feeling energetic, or with a day of watersports at one of the many lakes including Wast Water, Buttermere, further afield, Ullswater, Coniston or Windermere. Enjoy a relaxing break in a picture-perfect area with a stay at Bowbridge.
