Utility Room

The utility room has a sink and combined washing machine and tumble drier. There is also space to hang your wet coats and leave your muddy boots. Since this is where the boiler lives, it is a good place to dry your wet things.

The Hallway

Downstairs at Duck Pond View there is a utility and hall area, which is tiled throughout, and pretty mud proof. There is plenty of space for your coats and boots and even a chair to sit on while you put them on! From the hallway a spiral staircase takes you up into the living accommodation.

The Living Area

The living area is divided into a luxury fitted kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area. The sitting area has a leather settee and chair, a 28 inch television, a satellite receiver, a video and a DVD player. We have provided some DVDs and videos but feel free to bring your own as well. We have also provided a hi-fi with radio, books, jigsaws and games for those times when you choose to spend an evening at home.

The Kitchen

Duck Pond View has a fully fitted luxury kitchen. The Bosch ceramic hob, fan oven, full size fridge freezer, and dish washer are complemented by a microwave oven, which means you can do as much or as little cooking as you choose. Whatever your cooking and eating style, preparing it (and eating it of course) will be a pleasure at Duck Pond View.

The Bedroom

The bedroom has a wonderfully comfortable king size bed, just right for snuggling into after a long day on the fells (or at the shops, or at the pub - whatever takes your fancy). Each side has it's own bedside cabinet and reading light.

You have a choice of feather or man made quilts and pillows, or blankets. There is full size wardrobe and a dressing table to keep everything in.

The Bedroom - continued

The bedroom also has a quiet area with two tub chairs and a coffee table.

Under the coffee table is a wireless enabled laptop, and a good old fashioned writing folder with paper, post cards, envelopes and pens.

The french window opens onto the balcony with views of the duck pond.

The Bathroom

The bathroom leads off the bedroom and has a bath and separate shower, toilet and handbasin.

A shaver socket is provided and a good sized cupboard with spare towels to use while spoiling yourself.

There are also two luxury bathrobes, one each, in the wardrobe.

The Balcony

The French windows from the bedroom lead onto a large, south facing, wooden balcony with table and chairs for al fresco dining. There are views of the duck pond and out over the farm. An ideal place to watch the young lambs in Spring, and it catches the sun all day from dawn to dusk.

Outside

There are stone steps leading from the balcony into a small private garden, where you can set up the barbecue or just sit in the sunshine.

There is a wooden bench, a picnic table, and sun loungers. (You also have your own private bird table).

Inside

And here is the team charged with the job of keeping Duck Pond View immaculate for your visit.

Car Parking

Duck Pond View has its own garage suitable for the secure storage of bicycles or a small car, but there is an additional car parking space available if your vehicle is larger.
