The Old Stables

Bassenthwaite, North West England

The Old Stables
A cosy base in Bassenthwaite, The Old Stables sleeps four, making it well suited to couples sharing a break or a small family wanting a quiet corner of Cumbria to call home for a few days.

The Lake District Wildlife Park is close by at 3.1 miles, ideal for a relaxed afternoon out, while Go Ape Whinlatter (7.9 miles) brings a bit more adventure if you fancy it. JB Banks Ironmongers, 7.8 miles away, is worth a visit too. Aspatria station sits 6 miles from the cottage, useful if you're arriving by train or planning a day trip further afield.
