Once a traditional Lakeland cottage, Carr Crag Cottage has recently undergone extensive renovations and now provides exquisite accommodation overlooking the splendid Great Langdale Valley. This home of pure distinction has been carefully designed to capture every glimpse of the iconic Langdale fells, while the modern interiors offer all you could need for a luxury self-catering holiday in The Lake District. Carr Crag Cottage is ideal for groups of friends or multi-generational family gatherings.
Initially welcomed into the open hallway, the bespoke kitchen is found to the right, inclusive of all mod cons needed for self-catering, while the jaw-dropping living room sits to the left. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing views, with striking colours and bold patterns pairing perfectly. Gather the family around the large dining table or enjoy the freedom of open-plan living.
Toward the rear of the property, you’ll find a handy utility, cloakroom, and light-filled sunroom – ideal for soaking up the garden views and enjoying much-deserved time away.
Sleeping eight, the accommodation comprises four spacious bedrooms, all individually styled with bold colours and premium fittings. The ‘pièce de resistance’ at Carr Crag Cottage must be the principal suite, not least with its deep-pocketed mattress, but the luxury of waking up and remotely opening the curtains to reveal ‘THAT VIEW’. It’s staggering! Two of the bedrooms have large en-suites, and there’s an equally spacious family shower room sitting between the additional bedrooms.
Externally, Carr Crag Cottages offers private grounds for the whole family to enjoy. With a BBQ and fire pit area overlooking the fells, a (to be installed) hot tub situated at the rear of the property, and an expanse of lawns, there is simply no reason to leave this fabulous abode.
