Overview

Combining traditional features with contemporary modern day living Stable Cottage Greystoke Gill is the place to retreat to when you want to recharge your batteries in a peaceful corner of Cumbria. As the name suggests, the pretty sandstone cottage sits in a cobbled courtyard and has been converted from former stables. Original arched doorways open into a beautifully presented, well equipped cottage, where attention to detail is apparent in every nook and cranny with a warm and welcoming ambience evident in every room. After a days adventure in the Lake District the cottage beckons your return, snuggle in front of the warming log burning stove on chillier days or relax in the sunny enclosed garden on a summers evening.

As you enter the cottage the character is immediately evident with exposed stone walls supporting a canopy of beams and contemporary furnishings bringing the scene to life. The cosy lounge has sofas arranged around the wood burning stove and Smart TV, relax with friends and family in front of your favorite TV program or catch up on the latest film releases with streaming services or old favorites on the DVD player. Off the lounge is a light sunroom, escape with a good book or just enjoy some quiet time. The dining kitchen is the hub of the home, gather together and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal cooked in the well equipped kitchen with a double oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The dining table comfortably seats 6, linger over your morning coffee whilst you plan your next adventure. With a Belfast pot sink, washing machine and tumble dryer, the utility room maintains the character of the cottage and also has a handy ground floor toilet.
