Overview

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.

Enjoying a tranquil location in the picturesque village of Glenridding, this traditional cottage provides fresh, relaxing and cheerful accommodation for four guests, and has plenty of space for two canine companions as well. Within half a mile of the western tip of Ullswater, this is a great spot for eager walkers, hikers and nature lovers, with miles of glorious walks offering stunning scenery. You can take a steamer across the lake or head deep into the surrounding vales, fells and woodlands, then return to this light and refreshing cottage to unwind in the patio garden or in front of the warming wood burner.

Upstairs, there are two spacious, bright and tastefully decorated bedrooms: one double and one super-king-size, each with a step leading down to the stylishly designed shower room. Stepping outside, the patio garden is a lovely spot for you and your four-legged friends to laze on a sunny afternoon and admire the dramatic mountain views.

Excellent standard of accommodation although a bit pricey. The 25 non-returnable damage surcharge seems a bit odd particularly if you don`t damage anything! Several walks are available from the doorstep or with the use of the local bus service and the steamer across the lake to Howtown. The local mini-mart is excellent for self catering and pubs/hoRead moretels are within walking distance. All in all I had an excellent short break and enjoyed excellent weather. Hide

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.

This cottage meets the needs of couples (with or without animals), we described it as cosy but the bedroom and living area was so comfortable. Walk out of the front door and you are next to everything. The neighbours are also very pleasant.

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!
