Celebrate in style or have a holiday to remember when you stay at this gorgeous former farmhouse near Embleton in the Lake District. Sleeping 10 people, the handsome, five-bedroom retreat, which dates back to the 1700s, is situated 3.5 miles from Cockermouth and 11 miles from Keswick. The dog-friendly, group property nestles in 200 acres of beautiful grounds that guests are welcome to explore.

Spread out and enjoy the magnificent, characterful space offered by this split-level Cumbrian abode. Head through to the kitchen/diner to whip up delicious meals with the local produce you have bought. Perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of fizz and the Smart TV on before serving Sunday lunch through in the dining room. Find a few quiet moments to yourself in the snug or wander down and up sets of stairs to find the splendid lounge, situated in a former barn. This is the perfect place to host your celebration, watch a film on another Smart TV or simply bask in front of the roaring wood burner. Steps from here lead up to a mezzanine-level library. Climb the stone staircase in the main part of the property to find a family bathroom and two super-king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. A twin bedroom and a king-size are in the former barn section of the holiday home, together with another family bathroom. The final bedroom, another super-king-size, with en-suite bathroom, is adjacent to the dining room. Make the most of the superb outside space at the farmhouse on sunny days, dining on the patio together and losing yourselves in the picturesque views.

Venture just 3.5 miles to the shores of scenic Bassenthwaite Lake. Head 10 miles to Derwentwater, where you can take a cruise out on the water or hire your own boats.
