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. An open fire creates cosy evenings in the beamed lounge. The enclosed garden offers private outdoor dining spots. Two nearby pubs provide dining options. Walking routes to Wansfell Pike start from the door. However, the three-bedroom layout makes this better suited to families.
Pet Friendly
Birkett House does not accept dogs or other pets. The property maintains a pet-free environment throughout. The enclosed garden is kept without animals. Guests with pets should look for alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes dogs. The village location and walking routes would otherwise suit dog owners perfectly.
