Overview
Bobbin Mill Cottage is a converted mill cottage amongst a number of similar properties on the river Gilpin near Crosthwaite. The cottage sleeps four people and has two bedrooms, one double and one twin, and a family bathroom. The ground floor accommodation is set out in an open plan design, comprising of a comfortable sitting room, a large well-equipped kitchen and a dining area. Outside, the cottage benefits from the shared use of a massive area of landscaped gardens, with a small bridge over the immediately adjacent river and off road parking. Located in peaceful countryside down a quiet country lane, Bobbin Mill Cottage has peace and tranquillity in abundance but is within walking distance of the village and a short drive from Windermere, making it a wonderful base for a small family or two couples looking for a restful break in the Lake District.
