The Wrens Nest

The Wrens Nest is situated in an idyllic, peaceful and magical location in Cumbria, with easy access to the Lake District, where wildlife abounds and the sound of birdsong fills the air.

The wooden cladded exterior and raised rustic balcony lead you into an interior which is delightfully charming, with unusual touches and a cosy atmosphere, just the place to set the scene for a romantic stay. Large windows frame the beautiful views over the wooded field and large pond, they let the sunshine flood in. You will find a compact kitchen housing a gas two ring hob, microwave, undercounter fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and coffee machine - everything you need to whip up a memorable meal using local ingredients. Enjoy your creations at the dining-table by the cosy warmth of the log-effect electric fire or eat al fresco and take time to spot the local wildlife.

There is a comfy double bed facing the view and framed by intriguing wooden cladding and unusual and quirky wall lighting. A great place to snuggle down and take advantage of the relaxation and peaceful location The Wrens Nest offers. Two delightful chairs are placed perfectly next to the dining-area to sit and unwind after a day exploring the lakes. A small shower-room with rain head shower completes this gorgeous hideaway.

The outside space is no less impressive, set on the site of an old sculpture park, hidden sculptures are still visible. Sit at the outdoor table and chairs which perch neatly on the raised decking area cleverly fashioned from reclaimed branches from the surrounding woods and take in the tranquil views of the large pond and verdant woodland. It is only a couple of minutes' walk to the river through the field. Bordered by large overhanging trees dappling the sunlight onto the gently running water it is a great place for a relaxing picnic.

The jewel in the crown of your stay at The Wrens Nest is the eco hot tub and fire-pit situated on the small private island accessed by a hand-made wooden bridge with twinkling fairy lights - this is a haven you can enjoy at any time of day or evening. The owner generously provides all the logs you need.

You will find nature all around and during your stay you may see kingfishers, buzzards, kestrels and nuthatch. If you are quiet deer, squirrels, badgers and foxes may just pop by, there has even been an otter or two making a watery appearance.

The Wrens Nest is nestled in a pretty area of woodland next to Tawny Owl Treehouse (5158), however each retreat has plenty of privacy.
