Welcome to The Cottage at Scales Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Scales, The Cottage at Scales is the perfect retreat for those looking to explore the beauty of the Cumbrian countryside. This charming, terraced cottage, close to the market town of Aspatria, offers a comfortable and modern home away from home, with stunning rural views and easy access to some of Cumbria’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring, complete with a cosy wood-burning stove to add warmth and ambiance. A door from this space leads to a small rear terrace, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink while soaking in the surrounding farmland views. Upstairs, three beautifully furnished bedrooms, a king, a twin, and a single, offer restful spaces for families or groups, complemented by a stylish family bathroom.
The location is ideal for exploring both the Lake District National Park and the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a short drive away, Bassenthwaite Lake is perfect for walking, birdwatching, and spotting ospreys, while the nearby Whinlatter Forest Park offers fantastic mountain biking and hiking trails. For history lovers, the Roman ruins of Hadrian’s Wall and the grand Carlisle Castle are well worth a visit. If you’re looking for a coastal escape, head to Allonby Beach for a bracing seaside walk or some fish and chips by the shore. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, The Cottage at Scales provides an inviting base to experience the best of Cumbria. We look forward to welcoming you.
