The museum, consists of a kitchen/diner with two ovens, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, seating five guests, and a sitting room with electric fire and Smart TV. The bedrooms consist of two doubles and a single serviced by a bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Outside, there is an enclosed front garden with patio and furniture and off-road parking for one car. Within 4.6 miles you will find a shop and a pub and within 0.5 miles a river. WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen, and towels included in the rent. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Enjoy a charming retreat near the River at The Musuem.
Amenities: Electric central heating. 2 x oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher. Smart TV, WIFI. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Highchair and travel cot available. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Off-road parking for 1 car. Enclosed front garden with patio and furniture. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Community village shop open daily; 2 minute walk, pub 4.6 miles, river 0.5 miles.
Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
Town: Nenthead is one of the highest villages in England and has a rich mining history. Many mines still remain which are open to the public and waiting to be discovered. The village was also the first to have electric street lighting due to the excess power created by the mining industry. This is a fantastic base for those looking to explore the area as the village has a pub, restaurant, shop/Post Office, children’s play area and a church set in an elevated position. There are a number of attractions available in the nearby area including taking a ride on one of the lovingly-restored steam and diesel engines through the beautiful scenery of the South Tyne valley on the South Tynedale Railway. The River Tyne is also noted as one of the finest salmon rivers in England and day-ticket fishing is available locally. With the entire North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep you will need to return again and again to the area to explore everything there is on offer.
