Accommodation overview: Dont be fooled by the rather plain exterior of this traditional mid terraced cottage, built in the 1700s as awaiting your arrival behind the front door lies a beautiful, boutique style self catering home from home, the perfect venue for your holiday in the Lakes. A hop, skip and jump from the village, with two excellent village pubs on your doorstep. Mr Harvisons, named after a much loved and respected local, is ideally placed for enjoying all that cosmopolitan Ambleside has to offer whether you are walkers, shoppers or foodies - the village has it all. And after a fun filled day on the fells or by the waters edge, return to the contemporary luxury of Mr Harvisons with comfortable lounge areas, sumptuous bedrooms ensuring a good nights rest and individually chosen, interesting pieces of artwork and accessories. The open plan living area is ideal for a casual and social dinner although with so many great places to eat in Ambleside, Lucys, The Glass House and The Log House to name but three, we wonder whether the super facilities on offer here will actually be used to their full advantage? A small terrace to the rear of the cottage is just the spot for an aperitif before dinner or for taking in a breath of fresh Lakeland air when our weather will allow whilst cooler evenings will no doubt be spent gathered around the wood burning stove either in the elegant lounge or cosy snug, recalling the days events and planning the next.

Accommodation overview: Elk Cottage details
Elk Cottage is a 4 Star Gold Award winning restoration of a Grade II listed traditional sandstone barn located in the quiet hamlet of Glassonby in the middle of the Eden Vally. Access to the rolling hills of the Eden Valley and its numerous nearby walks is one of the best features of this cosy cottage.
The recent renovation of Elk Cottage, Jenny's Croft and Glassonby Old Hall dating back to the 1600s, bring these 4 and 5 Star Gold Award winning barns and traditional Cumbrian long house back into habitation for the first time since 1764. They retain many of their original features including old ship timber oak beams, oak mullion windows, flagged stone floors, open fireplaces, stone staircases, stone walls, arched openings, original old fashioned door heights (some low) and terraced gardens and fields. All three properties are furnished throughout with antiques and incorporate solar water heating.
Though Elk Cottage is no longer part of a working farm, its position on one of the higher hills in the Eden Valley gives its gardens amazing views towards the Pennines and the rolling countryside that has seen this area in Cumbria declared one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elk Cottage is dog friendly and the gardens and grounds surrounding this cottage provide plenty of room for running around.
There are some great walks starting from the front door of Elk Cottage including a walk along from Dale Raven along the banks of the River Eden, a walk to Lacey's Caves along the Eden River, a walk to the Long Meg Stone Circle (the second largest in England) and to the charming nearby Cumbrian village of Melmerby, where the nationally acclaimed organic Village Bakery and the Shepherd's Inn Pub provide great food and local beers (Dorris' 90th Birthday ale is highly recommended).
There is a village shop 1.5 miles from Glassonby in Kirkoswald which also has two local pubs. Bicycles, locks and helmets are available for hire on site. Cycling route maps provided and Glassonby is located along the popular C2C cycle route as well as having many quiet lanes in the local area which are ideal for cyclists.

Accommodation overview: The hamlets of Lowick Green and Lowick Bridge sit at the Southern most tip of Coniston Water in an area of beautiful open countryside. This is rural Cumbria at its best, Lowick being a fine example of a village, hosting an annual agricultural show every September, to include Cumberland wrestling, fell running and hound trails. Ulverston, home to Stan Laurel, is a mere 7 miles away to the South with Coniston itself only 15 minutes drive. The cottage is located across the road from the Farmers Arms, a 14th Century coaching Inn, offering fine food and a real country pub atmosphere with local ales and open fires. Thorn Cottage is a substantial property of great character, evidenced in original floorboards and exposed beams. Dating back to the 1800s, numerous pictures around the house depict its ancient past and the refurbishments in recent times have been done sympathetically and with great care. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious, just the spot for a family get together, whatever time of the year. Please note that due to its age, the house does have a number of small steps here and there and you should be careful to either bend or bump.
