Situated on the outskirts of Satterthwaite village, within the tranquil Grizedale Valley lies the delightful, Grade II listed Low Bowkerstead. A traditional 17th Century whitewashed cottage in the most idyllic of settings.
Straight from a picturesque Lakeland scene, the cottage sits in the middle of open farm land, flanked by the dense forest beyond. A wonderful, quiet & romantic location, the cottage is ideal for those looking to truly switch off.
Gentle pastimes such as bird watching and low level walking can be enjoyed straight from the door, however adventure is not too far away with Grizedale's Visitor's Centre, mountain bike trails & bike hire, over 50 sculptures throughout the forest and Go Ape tree top adventure and zip trekking nearby.
