Lake Cottage is located at the end of a quiet country lane bordering the beautiful Hawes Water Lake in the Silverdale & Arnside Area of Natural Beauty. It is adjacent to the nature reserve and the cottage has access to the lake, with its resident otters, kingfishers and marsh harriers.
Fully refurbished a few years ago the cottage is the owner’s own lakeland retreat and is fully equipped with a well-stocked pantry, books and maps, games and hi-fi, making it a true ‘home from home’ the minute you walk through the door. It is a characterful, stone-built cottage which retains many original features including exposed beams, inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove and range oven and has been thoughtfully furnished and decorated in a style sympathetic to its past.
Accommodation is offered for up to four people, with one double and one twin bedroom, both having long views over the marsh and lake to the woods and hills beyond. The period bathroom is newly fitted, with pine flooring, spacious shower and heated towel radiator. The living room is warm and cosy with antique furniture, rugs and many original artworks whilst the quarry-tiled kitchen is very well equipped with standalone units, dresser and farmhouse table helping retain a homely ambience whilst offering comprehensive cooking and self-catering facilities including coffee-machine, microwave, fridge and large double oven.
Outside is a sunny gravelled courtyard with Weber and picnic table – ideal for summer breakfasts and barbeques! Steps lead to the lawn and a path meanders through the small orchard to the reedbed beyond, where an 80-yard boardwalk takes you through willows and marsh to the reed-fringed lakeside. Guests have the use of a large timber cabin which overlooks the lake with a private jetty, picnic bench and swimming ladder. The spring-fed lake is fringed with lilies in summer and is crystal clear - perfect for swimming and fishing and teems with wildlife.
The cottage is just a mile from Silverdale village with its pubs and shops, and four miles from the larger villages of Arnside and Carnforth. It sits at a gateway to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Trough of Bowland, giving access to a wide range of outdoor amenities, although with wonderful woodland walks in all directions from the front door there is often little need to venture far.
