Your own private waterfall provides the soundtrack to an extraordinary holiday, while the property's unique wellness facilities include a barrel sauna, outdoor heated shower, hot tub and home gym. Each bedroom carries the name of a local sheep breed, bringing a feel of the local countryside to your stay! This luxury holiday home excels at bringing families together, with three floors of living space that never feels cramped even at full capacity. The dining room accommodates all 19 guests around one table - perfect for birthday feasts, anniversary toasts, or just catching up over breakfast. The kitchen can handle serious group cooking, while the pizza oven and BBQ area outside lets you turn dinner into an event. There's even a separate snug with a smaller kitchen for overflow cooking or private family moments. Here at The Waterfall Retreat you're brilliantly positioned just 8 minutes from Tebay Services on the M6, yet you'd never guess, given how remote and peaceful it feels. The grounds stretch down to the river where you can spot red squirrels, kingfishers and, if you're lucky, salmon jumping in the Autumn months. Local walks lead through ancient woodland, while the eastern Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are both within easy reach for day trips. After a day exploring, everyone can gravitate to the waterfall area for the ultimate relaxation routine: brave the cold river dip, warm up in the barrel sauna, rinse off in the heated outdoor shower, then sink into the hot tub. The property works beautifully for milestone birthdays, family reunions, or simply gathering the clan for quality time away from everyday life. ## Facilities - **Dog Friendly:** Pet-friendly with secure grounds. 2 dogs welcome, extras at £35 per dog per stay, on request.
