Full of warmth and character, this lovely 17th century house nestles in a beautiful wooded valley overlooking the Howgill Fells. Recently restored to a luxurious standard, the house has a wonderful atmosphere and, set in an acre of garden and private woodland, is an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and tranquility. The beautiful interior will please the most discerning visitor; quality and attention to detail ensures every modern comfort has been thoughtfully provided yet the farmhouse retains a lovely relaxing atmosphere where time seems to stand still.

The beautiful lounge has original oak beams, open fire, oak floor, two sofas and armchair with Liberty covers, colour TV, video and piano. The dining area has a magnificent 16th century oak refectory table, while the Studio has stunning views of the mountains and surrounding countryside - an unusual and very special place, utterly peaceful and private with glorious views, lovely relaxing atmosphere and very comfortable sofas. Outside there is a pretty terrace with table and chairs and stunning mountain views. The kitchen has oak beams and Inglenook fireplace with cast iron stove. It is fully equipped to a very high standard, with oak cupboards, terracotta tiled floor, Neff electric oven and gas hob, dishwasher, fridge and excellent cookware. A utility room houses microwave, freezer and washing machine. The old oak staircase leads up to three bedrooms - one twin, one double, and the Master bedroom with good-sized en-suite luxury shower room and lovely views. The family bathroom has bath and shower. Pets welcome by prior arrangement.

If you are a smaller group, we also have a one bedroom cottage nearby Bluebell Cottage

The views from the farmhouse are beautiful; across the valley, which is wooded, to the high fells of the Howgills.

Goodies is very private and is surrounded by open fields, woods and mountains. The garden areas are fenced and safe for young children to play in. There are many quaint little villages nearby with good restaurants and several country pubs, which serve excellent meals.

Wonderful walks, far from the crowds, start straight from the door yet within 35 minutes' drive are all the amenities of the central Lake District.
