About this property
2 THE COTTAGES, pet friendly, character holiday cottage in Shap
2 The Cottages rests in Shap, Cumbria and can sleep four people in two bedrooms.
The kitchen/diner is equipped with an electric oven and hob, kettle, toaster, microwave and dining seating for four, the adjoining utility has a fridge with ice box and the sitting room has a TV and a gas fire. There is a double and a twin bedroom, along with a bathroom. Outside, there is a small enclosed garden, off-road parking for 1 car and additional roadside parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fuel, power, bed linen, towels and WiFi are all included in the rental price. Apologies, but this property doesn't accept pets or smoking. For your local conveniences, you'll find a shop within 0.3 miles and a pub within 0.1 mile. A rural retreat for four awaits with a wonderful stay at 2 The Cottages.
Amenities: Gas central heating with gas fire. Electric oven and hob, kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge with ice box. TV, WiFI. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Highchair and travel cot available. Off-road parking for 1 car and additional roadside parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. Small enclosed front garden. One well-behaved dog welcome at additional £20.00 fee per holiday. No smoking. Shop 0.3 miles, pub 0.1 mile
Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
Town: The charming linear village of Shap is tucked away in the Eden district of Cumbria. This small village offers all of the essentials, including pubs, shops and a Post Office, along with a swimming pool and a wonderful memorial park. Shap Abbey can be found half a mile from the village, surrounded by the River Lowther and built in 1540 by Henry VIII. The Lake District National Park is nearby, as are the charming towns of Ambleside and Windermere.
