There is a small shop, cafe and post office, village church and 2 popular country pubs all close by. Still retaining all the characteristics of a Lakeland village and indeed most of the village is a designated conservation area. Beatrix Potter used to live at Troutbeck Park Farm and Jesus Christ Church was built circa. 1736 on the site of a 15th century chapel.

Access to the cottage is best by travelling north on the A591 towards Ambleside.

Follow the road through the village and the gated access to the parking area is on the left hand side.

The living room has a wood burning stove on a slate hearth for those cosy nights in and the kitchen has all the modern appliances of integrated Beko electric oven and electric hob with extractor over, built in dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer and washing machine.

On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms (1 en-suite) and both having built in wardrobes, plus house bathroom with WC, inset washbasin with vanity unit and bath with Mira shower over.
