Family weekend break at Greystoke.

Foxglove cottage is ideally situated in the village, very close to the shop/post office and the excellent "Boot and Shoe" pub. The cottage was clean on arrival, maybe a little dated on the interior, but this adds to the charm. Beds were clean and comfy and the free wi- fi was a nice touch along with the freeview tv. Plenty of good walks and a lovely park and outdoor pool nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

I have been making my cottage available to visitors in the Lake District for over 20 years and know how important it is to maintain very high standards. My attention to detail ensures that you will have an enjoyable and comfortable stay in Foxglove Cottage.

Walkers, cyclists, general holidaymakers [and their dogs] are very welcome.

Why they chose this property

Foxglove Cottage is oaked beamed and oozes character and charm. It was built in 1753 and the names of the original owners are carved in stone over the front door. It is meticulously maintained by a local gardener and cleaning agency.

The cottage is in an ideal location, being easily accessible to fells and Lakes [for great walks and amazing views], local towns and tourist centres.

In summer, the village has an outdoor, heated swimming pool [in Church Road].

An ideal stop for cyclists on the National Route 71.

There is a car port and a lockable garage. The garden is secure for dogs.

Nearby there are great local pubs which serve excellent food. One of them is just a few minutes walk away.
Caring dog owners are welcome.

What makes this property unique

If you're looking for something special, something different, you will find it at Foxglove Cottage. It was built in 1753 and the names of the original owners are carved in stone over the front door. The walls of the cottage are very thick [warm in winter and cool in summer].

In summer you can enjoy a cool drink in the private garden, or on the patio, and in winter you can enjoy the magic of an open log fire in the warmth of the oak-beamed cottage.
