This quirky Lakeland home sits less than half a mile from the edge of Ullswater. Tucked at the bottom of the magnificent Helvellyn range, the village of Glenridding boasts a plethora of places to explore. From your door, enjoy the walking routes with rewarding panoramic views and climb the likes of St Sunday Crag (3 miles) and Catstycam (3 miles). From Glenridding, you can also board an Ullswater Steamer for a day out on the water. Visit the lakeside villages for a wonder around and grab some lunch. The Aira Force waterfall is 3 miles away by road and well worth a visit. If you fancy a lively night or a show, travel 16.5 miles to the Adventure Capital of England, Keswick and book tickets for the Theatre by the Lake.

This beautiful stone built Lakeland cottage sits above Glenridding village and is accessed up a steep narrow drive. Upon entering the property you will feel right at home, get ready to pop the kettle on and relax. The kitchen is equipped with a ceramic hob with an oven and grill, a microwave, dishwasher and fridge. The handy utility has a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The lounge boasts a wonderful wood burner and is the perfect play to sit and talk about the days adventures, or just enjoy some peace and quiet with a good book. There is also a payphone should you need to make a call. Dinner can be served in the dining room where the table seats four guests. Head upstairs to settle down for the night in one of two lovely bedrooms. The master double boasts views across to Ullswater whilst the twin is decorated in neutral tones. Both bedrooms share the family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

Enjoy time spent in the enclosed garden, marvel at the views and fire up the BBQ for a sizzling, al fresco feast. There is off-road parking available.

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. Nicely seperated from near by properties so we had good privacy while outside and using the BBQ. Small grass area was enough for the boys to play in, although there was a steep drop off to be aware of. Beds and sofas were very comfortable, just what was needed after a long day on the trails, and there wereRead more some nice pubs close at hand for our evenings, and local shops had everything we needed. Would certainly recommend for a family or a small group. Hide

A fabulous cottage in a great location - in a village but you dont feel as though you are. Well equipped, very clean, a nice view from the sitting room (quite unusual for the Lakes) and great walking from your doorstep. And very helpful hosts (told us about an upcoming road closure that might have affected us).

We had a great holiday , the cottage location was an easy walk to the village . The heating worked well on the cold evenings but the log fire made it even better . Everything was spotless and the bath/bathroom/fluffy towels were great after a long days hiking . Would definitely come again .

Really fantastic location and cute cottage. Was ideal location for exploring the Lake District. Cottage was very clean, great location and ideal for a break in the Lakes. Had a minor issue when we stayed which was rapidly fixed with no inconvenience to us.
