The apartment is situated in Whitbarrow Holiday Village just off the A66 between Penrith and Keswick. It is a lovely rural setting on the edge of the Northern Lake District close to the villages of Berrier and Greystoke, and is only about a 15 minute drive from lake Ullswater. Offering luxurious accommodation with outstanding views across open countryside towards the Pennines, it has been constructed, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. There are French windows leading to a balcony with table and seating for two. This is a lovely place for a relaxing breakfast in the morning or for drinks in the evening.
