    “We had a lovely holiday staying in your property, such a great location to just switch off from everything.”

    I have already recommended the house to several of my friends with dogs as it was just the perfect location to walk them straight from the house. We have already spoken about booking again the next time we want to go to the lakes. The cottage was well maintained and has great facilities. A washing machine and dryer is such a bonus, especially after muddy walks. Also I loved the bath and spent several evenings relaxing with a book. We loved the wood-fire.

    I have already recommended the house to several of my friends with dogs as it was just the perfect location to walk them straight from the house. We have already spoken about booking again the next time we want to go to the lakes. The cottage was well maintained and has great facilities. A washing machine and dryer is such a bonus, especially after muddy walks. Also I loved the bath and spent several evenings relaxing with a book. We loved the wood-fire. The only down-side was the previous tenants had been smoking inside and the smell was quite strong. Obviously no fault of the owner as the no smoking rules are quite clear, just a shame. I did my best to try and lift the smell by opening all the windows/using air freshener but it will probably require some deep cleaning. Overall a wonderful holiday, we will definitely be back

    Thank you for your feedback and that you had a wonderful holiday with your dogs. There has been a short gap since you left so a deep clean has been done and the smell of smoke has gone. I look forward to welcoming you and your dogs back. Property Owner

The property

Shap 1.2 miles. Located in the heart of Keld, a quaint village near Shap in Cumbria is White House, a charming, two-bedroom cottage. Resting upon the cusp of the Lake District National Park, enjoying rural views over the region, White House offers a characterful abode for a family of four, complete with a pretty garden, a private driveway, and a homely interior. Park up and unload your belongings, before travelling indoors to reach the sitting room; here you can unwind with the gentle glow of the woodburning stove in the backdrop. Locate the kitchen, well-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed in the dining room, featuring traditional, antique furniture, and a roaring open fire. If the weather allows, dine alfresco in the delightful garden, dotted with beautiful blooms and luscious lawns, before climbing up to the elevated lawned area for vistas across the valley. Retire indoors to catch some rest from one of two well-appointed bedrooms, including a twin, and a double with electric fire and en-suite shower room. Indulge in a long soak in the roll-top bath, providing plenty of space to complete your morning routine, before heading into nearby Shap to stock up on the essentials and dine out, with the Crown Inn at Shap, The Abbey Kitchen, and The Greyhound Hotel, Bar & Restaurant in the area. Be sure to tour the remains of Shap Abbey whilst remaining local before travelling through the national park to enjoy an afternoon of watersports upon Ullswater, or a nature-filled hike towards Aira Force Waterfall. Keen birdwatchers will relish in the chance to visit The RSPB at Haweswater, whilst explorers will enjoy touring the Rydal Cave and the Stock Ghyll Force, worth packing your walking boots for; Wordsworth Grasmere and the Allan Bank and Grasmere country house are also nearby for history fans to enjoy. Round off your travels with a visit to Lake Windermere and its plethora of attractions where you can visit the Holehird Gardens, take to the lake by kayaking or canoeing at the Brockhole on Windermere centre, or enjoying the immersive experience of The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, plus many more popular landmarks and activities. Gather your loved ones for a Cumbrian haven at White House.
