This cottage is in a nice position but is a challenge to get up to if you are not able bodied. The cottage is quiet and peaceful and well equipped . Despite some small niggles we had a very enjoyable time. Its ideally positioned for walks to the hills.

Amazing location. Perfect for hiking around Helvellyn. The YHA bar is open to all so is an alternative to the Traveller Rest for a drink or a bit to eat at the end of the day.

The main joy of this cottage is the location which is wonderful! Amazing views all around, and we love the area around Ullswater and Glenridding. The actual cottage is up a steep slope, so its best to bring more small bags rather than a huge one (unless you're very fit!) The cottage is perfectly well equipped for most needs but is rather dated, whiRead morech is not a problem for us! This is the second time we have been to this cottage and we will be back! Hide

The location of the cottage was perfect. The view from the main bedroom was astonishingly beautiful. The cottage met all the basics in terms of the kitchen equipments and warm place to be. Although the cottage was slightly tired and needed a deep cleaning and redecorating. The kitchen and bathroom are desperately so.

Our 3rd time staying at this property, and while weve always agreed with other reviews its in need of renovation, the location is so beautiful and perfect for walks we didnt mind as it was comfortable and basic. But this time it the cottage was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, cupboards a mess and hadnt been properly vacuumed. No matches for the fire andRead more woodburner needed attention, and it just felt like property has not been cared for, which is a shame. Hide

Nice location and lovely garden a bit let down by tired interior- could do with some updating to justify price level.

The cottage was reasonably clean and comfortable but as others have noticed the decor and furnishings are outdated. However, the view was lovely and the position excellent for walkers
