Is Birkett House Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Children will love exploring from the doorstep with safe walking routes into Troutbeck valley. The enclosed garden provides space for outdoor play surrounded by wildlife. Two lounges offer flexible family space with Smart TVs for entertainment. A travel cot and highchair are available. The village shop and café opposite provide easy access to treats. Windermere lake activities are just 2 miles away offering boat trips and watersports.

For Couples

This property suits couples wanting space and period character but lacks typical romantic features. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite with free-standing cast-iron bath.
