West View
Tucked into the quiet hamlet of Leasgill, on the fringes of the Lake District National Park, West View is a beautifully refurbished two-bedroom end-of-terrace house offering a light, bright and thoroughly modern base for up to four guests and two well-behaved dogs. Every corner of the house has been finished with care, from the engineered oak flooring that runs throughout the ground floor to the carefully chosen furnishings that give the whole property a warm, contemporary feel without losing any of its cottage charm.This is a home built for slowing down. On quieter days, settle into the living room sofa, light the wood-burning stove in its original fireplace, and lose an evening to a box set on the wall-mounted Smart TV. When the weather turns kind, the terraced garden comes into its own — a secluded, fully enclosed suntrap reached via a flight of slate steps, with established borders, a table and chairs for al fresco dining, and a secluded wooden bench tucked among the flower beds for a quiet coffee away from it all.West View suits couples and families with older children particularly well, and its central Cumbrian location makes it an outstanding base for exploring both the Lakes and the coast without ever feeling like you're far from home comforts. Whether you're after fell walks, historic houses, wildlife encounters or a lazy cruise on Windermere, this little corner of South Lakeland puts it all within easy reach — and with a bus stop right across the road, you don't even need to get the car out to do it.Please note: The garden is accessed via 12 slate steps (each approximately 20cm high). For this reason, we don't recommend West View for children under 5 or for guests with limited mobility.

About the location
History and wildlife lovers are particularly well served here. Levens Hall and Deer Park, with its extraordinary 17th-century topiary gardens and riverside walks, is within walking distance of the house, while Sizergh Castle and Garden, a National Trust property with its own deer park and fell walks, and the family-favourite Lakeland Wildlife Oasis are both a short drive away. A little further afield near Carnforth, Leighton Hall offers another fascinating slice of Lakeland heritage set against a beautiful backdrop of the Lakeland fells.
For the wider Lakes, Newby Bridge at the southern tip of Windermere is a short drive away, where you can visit the Lakes Aquarium or hop aboard a Windermere Cruise north to Bowness, Brockhole Visitor Centre or Ambleside. For extra convenience, the bus stop is directly across the road from the house, served by the hourly Stagecoach 555 route running from Lancaster through Kendal and on through the Lakes to Keswick — with dogs welcome on board too, it's an easy, car-free way to reach Windermere, Ambleside or Keswick for the day.
