We’re staying in the Lake District for this post, and more specifically the hot tub from our cottage stay back in June. I’ve yet to share the cottage interior, and that’s good, but the view from the hot tub was exceptional. Even getting to the hot tub was more unusual. Though it was sited on the back of the cottage, access was by walking around the building.
Though it really wasn’t a hardship.
Remember those stones for later.
How’s that for a gate post? With the blossom on the slate, the traditional stones and the well worn wood, the first time we visited we knew we were in for something special.
We weren’t disappointed. It was a gorgeously private and dramatic space.
With everything you could want - the outdoor shower, and somewhere to hang your robe and towel.
And the view.
A purposefully included (or should that be excluded) window, giving the perfect view of the rock and the stones I shared earlier. And the view up the hill of the field. And completely private, and relaxing.
The ferns against the darkly painted walls though.
And just to show it really is private here’s my best shot at trying to look over the top - and failing!
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the planning of this space, and it truly paid off.
