The Tree House Cumbria is a characterful, beautifully furbished 170-year-old cottage with internal arboreal architecture. Our cottage offers all the traditional comforts, plus modern smart home technology, located within easy reach of England's highest peak, Scafell Pike, scenic lakes, quiet, beaches and spectacular coastline.
Set in the pretty farming village of Beckermet in the Western Lakes, &nbsp;the pet-friendly cottage is within two minutes' walk of a friendly village pub, The Royal Oak and a few minutes' drive from a plethora of traditional pubs offering real ales, roaring fires, casual/fine dining restaurants, shops and sight-seeing attractions and experiences. For cyclists,the vicinity boasts a wealth of cycle routes including the West Cumbria Cycle Network. The location also offers great opportunities for bird-watching as the Heritage Coast, within four miles, supports the largest seabird colony on the west coast of England .
Nearby are some of the most spellbinding areas of the Lake District, less frequented by tourists but revered by climbers and connoisseurs of the Lakes. All the highest peaks including Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Pillar can be accessed from Wastwater which is a 20 minute drive from the cottage, whilst the quiet shores of Ennerdale and Loweswater offer tranquil views and scenic walks. For very different landscape, the unspoilt Cumbrian coast is just three miles away with its dramatic sandstone cliffs at St Bees Head, its spacious and quiet beaches, cliff-top walks, and historic towns including the Georgian 'gem' town of Whitehaven and historic Egremont, whilst the 'hotspots' of Keswick and Cockermouth are within easy reach.
The cottage is more of a tree in a house than a house in a tree (we're not sure how it got there! ). This spectacular natural 'sculpture' provides the focal point of the living room and is wrapped by a wooden spiral staircase which leads to the master bedroom.
Inside accommodation comprises a romantic spacious double bedroom with cathedral-style, vaulted ceiling and comfortable seating areas with views over the garden. Downstairs there's a small, well-equipped bedroom with full-size bunk beds. The cottage will comfortably sleep four but there's also a luxurious sofa bed so there's a potential to sleep six (as long as you're good friends!). We also have a baby travel cot which can be used if requested. Total area is 80 sq. mtrs
A rustic open plan kitchen with live edge worksurfaces and island hob means the cook (if there is one), can be part of the party whilst preparing dinner. The living room is cosy with a comfortable sofa; a log burning stove set in a traditional fireplace, Laura Ashley soft furnishings, dresser add to the country feel. Leading from the living room is an attractive conservatory dining area which seats up to six people, looking out over the patio where you can sit out in summer (or winter), cook up a barbeque or pizza or simply relax on the comfy garden chairs.
The long, country garden on several levels provides many places for retreat and relaxation: by the large pond spotting dragonflies, or sitting by the mysterious 'standing stones' , simply lounging in the hammock or you can walk past the bamboo to the end of the garden which looks out over peaceful pastureland.
The Tree House is packed with traditional features, but also boasts the most up-to-date technology with a Samsung Frame TV including free Amazon Prime Video and a Smart TV in the main bedroom, a Blue-Tooth speaker to which you can link your device, superfast fibre broadband and Amazon Prime unlimited music played through Amazon Echo. The cottage is a fully integrated Smart Home, however if Alexa and technology are not your cup of tea, there's also the more traditional way to operate lights with switches.
Bedding is provided for up to 6 guests but please bring your own bedding for the travel cot and the extra fold away bed which is standard single size.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
At the rear of the property there is right of way to the back gardens of the two houses next door, it's only used very occasionally and is fully gated but if you let your pet run free in our garden you should be aware of this.
We only allow a maximum of two dogs, because of previous bad experiences we're sorry but if you turn up with more than two you won't be able to stay.

Romantic, quirky Cumbrian cottage, large gardens & parking

This house and garden was perfect and magical for our 2 grandchildren. The garden was an amazing adventure and the house itself was comfortable and quirky. The shower was good. The children loved instructing Alexa and enjoyed the "treasure hunt" to discover things in the hosue and garden. Peter the host was immediately responsive to our one query. There were fresh flowers, milk, tea and coffee waiting for us. This house was a perfect base for exploring the area. There was a lovely adventure playground 5+ minutes walk away.

Perfect and Magical

Wow. What can we say about our stay…. It was MAGICAL. What an absolute dream home. It has everything you need and more. If you’re looking for the perfect place to relax and disconnect from the real world, look no further. There is a pub a stone throw away from the place, we didn’t go though as it was too nice to leave! The garden is just the most tranquil place to be. We will be making our second booking here ASAP. It was the most peaceful place that we have been in a while. It was fun trying to figure out all the smart electronics around the house. There was a gorgeous cat from number 3 who decided to say hello to us, we must add she was the star of the show (what an amazing little fur all she is!!!) We went to Buttermere for a swim in the natural pools before making our way here & what a joy it was. We was blown away, the details around the house are incredible. Would recommend x100000

We were blown away!

This is the most beautiful cottage. So cosy and quaint, could literally live here myself. Peter and Zoe have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. We stayed for 5 nights and although the cottage is in a quiet area of the Lakes, we thoroughly enjoyed venturing out every day and returning to this lovely cottage was a massive bonus The garden was wild and beautiful and the master bedroom was the best. Thank you for letting us stay at your delightful cottage.

The most beautiful cottage

What an amazing place. We always go away for a week on my birthday, this was truly a super special week in an outstanding house. 
Everything was spotless, warm and cosy. The bedroom was breathtaking, plenty of logs for a cosy fire at night. What more could you wish for? So close to explore plenty of extremely scenic places and walks with our dog Coco. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your gorgeous house.

Spotless, warm and cosy

Lovely cottage to stay at, would highly recommend.
