About the host
Hosted by Jim and Joan Nicholson
This is Jim's family home. He came here when he was six years old, with his parents, Tom and Hazel. They used the end part of the house as a granny flat for Tom's parents, and that part is now a holiday cottage named Nell's Cottage, after his Grandmother. Jim left when he married, and then Jim and Joan moved into the house when Tom died, in 1996. Joan took early retirement at the same time, having worked as a trained nurse all her working life, finally becoming the Community Nurse Manager.Jim extended the house, and they did B&B for 11 years, in the middle part of the house and they lived in the new extension. They were an award winning B&B, having won a 4* rating and a Silver Award from the tourist board. In 2012, they retired from B&B. As many of the B&B guests had enjoyed staying at Park Cottage, and loved the area, Jim converted that part of the house into a second holiday cottage, calling that part Tom's Cottage, after Jim's Dad.
Why they chose this property
This property was the home of Jim, his two sisters and their parents. Jim loves the place, and would never sell it. He says he will only leave the place when he is in his coffin!
What makes this property unique
Peace and tranquility. No noisy traffic - we are up a private road. We partially overlook a large trout lake, and fishing permits are available.and we have some lovely views of the lake district fells -Scafell, Coniston Old Man, etc. The bird life is prolific, 34 types in and around our 3.5 acre grounds,(mainly steep woodland) and a further 32 types at the lake and the nearby farm. The farm breeds horses, and rescues older horses, and they roam freely outside our grounds. Many of them are huge shire horses. One of the Queen's drum horses was retired here, called 'Chocolate Box'.
