Overview
Property code: SZ012

Whether you’re after dreamy days on the lake or hikes high above the water, this characterful cottage is in the perfect spot with something for everyone; family, friends and pups.

Rise and shine in this lovely home and head straight from your door for fun-filled, family-friendly days out to remember. If ‘up’ is the direction which takes your fancy, climb St Sunday Crag or Catstycam, both 3 miles away with panoramic views, or take a well-trodden path from the village up to the mighty Helvellyn range taking in Swirrel Edge and Striding Edge. Wander down to the lakeside and hop on a traditional Ullswater Steamer which journeys between Glenridding, Pooley Bridge and Howtown and can also drop you off at Aira Force (3 miles) where you can discover the tumbling waterfall. Further afield, close to Windermere Lake, Kirkstone Pass is 7.5 miles from home and the place to visit if you’re a keen mountain biker.

Make your way through the courtyard and into the welcoming kitchen/diner which boasts terrific views up to Glenridding Dodd and has all you need to cater for every occasion. Spacious and light, spend time at the table with a morning brew and a ponder over a map of the local area to make plans for the day ahead. With seating for four guests, enjoy communal meals at the dining table and time spent together. For some downtime, switch on the TV or pop your favourite DVD on and sit back, relax and stay warm by the wood burner. On the odd rainy day or evenings in, get competitive over a board game or a puzzle. Climb stairs to the first floor where the two bedrooms await and offer comfortable spaces in which to drift off. One is configured as a super-king (which can be made as a twin on request at time of booking), the other is a double; both rooms are light and bright with a lovely, calm ambience. Step down from each room to the shower room.

Boasting wonderful, dramatic views, the patio garden is a great place to sip tipples and fill your lungs with fresh air. Sharing a path with other cottages on the terrace, wander down to the car in your designated parking space.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 super king-size (can be made up as twin if requested at time of booking), 1 double
  • 1 shower room access via step and with internal step
  • Under-counter oven and halogen hobs, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine

The cottage is generally very well equipped, we were 3 adults and 1 dog staying during a week of constant extremely heavy rain, it is a wet region! drying/airing wet coats/clothes presented problems. The house was comfortable for our needs and in a good location. Some nice extra touches for xmas which was welcome.

A lovely cosy cottage in a brilliant location. The enclosed garden was perfect for letting our dogs out when they needed to go. Minutes from the lake shore and perfect for a hike up into the fells (it's right on the route up to striding edge if that's your plan!). Overall a lovely stay.

A great cottage in a fantastic location. One thing to beware of if you have a low ground clearance car like me is that when you enter the green gates into the parking area, the gate stop in the middle of the two gates will rock the underside of your car. Once you are in, you have the pain of driving back over it and listening to the crunch

A lovely cottage which we really enjoyed. However, the only thing that we would add is that the symbols used for what facilities are available are misleading hence a star taken off. There is NO bath although the picture for the bathroom strongly suggests there is one. For one of our party, this was a big deal. There should be just a shower symbol.

The cottage is well placed and well equipped for a lovely stay. Cannot fault the location; didn't use the car all week, which is just as well due to the tight squeeze of my large car into the parking area. We would return. Thank you for a wonderful week!
