Overview
Property code: OC-F30974

Set in the heart of the stunning Lake District, this spacious former farmhouse is the ultimate retreat for a group of family, friends, and their four-pawed adventurers. With an expansive warp-around garden and miles of scenic trails on your doorstep, there’s no end of tail-wagging walks to enjoy before returning home to toast the paws in front of the cracking wood burner.

Enter through the boot room, the perfect spot to towel off muddy paws. Inside, the lounge is ideal for cosy evenings warmed by the wood burner, and there's a Smart TV and even a projector for movie nights. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for family feasts, flowing seamlessly into the dining area, where you can gather for memorable meals. On the ground floor, there's a beautifully furnished double bedroom with a TV and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, you'll find five elegant double bedrooms, each with its own period charm and Smart TV. Some rooms even feature romantic four-poster beds, all with en-suite bathrooms. There’s also a family bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Outside, the large garden offers plenty of space to roam, with a lawned area, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. the property also features a hot tub, and on-site parking for up to nine cars is provided.

The peak of Blencathra is 3.5 miles away, where you and your canine companion can soak up breathtaking views or opt for the gentler route along the Threlkeld to Keswick railway path, where waggy tails can explore meadows and woodlands at a more relaxed pace. Alternatively, head to Aira Force Waterfall (6 miles), a gorgeous woodland spot where you might even spot a rare red squirrel. If your furry friend is happy to snooze at home for a bit, Keswick (7.5 miles) is a thrill-seeker’s playground, with everything from kayaking on Derwentwater to rock climbing and ghyll scrambling. For more laid-back outings, take a trip to Pooley Bridge (8.5 miles), where you can enjoy a lakeside stroll beside beautiful Ullswater or hop on a lake cruise with Fido by your side.

Beautiful house in a spectacular location,right next to the A66 great for exploring.The bedrooms all had an ensuite which was fantastic,only 3 showers at a time due to constraints on the water and heating system.The dining room could not fit our party of 14 comfortably,but would be good for smaller groups. The same goes for the kitchen and facilitiRead morees,good for a smaller group, not great for 14 adults on a family birthday celebration. The owner was really friendly and helpful and was close by as her property is attached to the cottage. Hide

This cottage has been converted back from a B&B. The living room is a lovely space but the dining room is a bit of a squeeze if the house is full. The kitchen is small for such a large house and we found it impractical for more than one person at a time to cook. That said, the house is gorgeously decorated and the bedrooms are lovely. Every room haRead moreving an en suite is great for a big family group or groups of friends. The garden is beautiful and peaceful despite being fairly close to the road - we used the hot tub in the evenings and it was quiet. We loved the location and proximity to Keswick and the northern lakes but still easy access to the motorways - great for a group get together. We found the owner responsive and helpful and would return if we get the chance. Hide

There were lots of great things about this rental- Each bedroom has an en-suite and so it felt spacious and comfortable for our extended family of 12 The house was decorated with lovely Christmas decorations as we stayed over Christmas time The kitchen had a great big table for us all to comfortably sit around The projector was a nice touch foRead morer us to watch a film on and we appreciated all the games that are available for guests to use The place was clean and the beds / bedding were comfortable It was in a convenient location for accessing lots of beautiful walks, and had a stunning view of the hills from the garden - We loved having a hot tub! We found the host to be responsive and helpful, she stayed on the property too in a separate building. However, we would have preferred not to have to reach out to her as much as we needed to during the stay- there should be more instructions for guests, cooking equipment, drying racks (crucial for a cold and typically wet Lake District holiday!!), and as a couple of radiators were yet to be connected it was cold at times, a few more logs to compensate would have gone a long way. We did really appreciate the additional oil radiator that the host brought round for us once we raised this. Overall, we would recommend it as a place to stay Hide

This property was not a house but a bed and breakfast which were not expecting. All things that had to be in place for COVID were still in situ which was not appropriate and should not still be there. The cleanliness of the place was not the best with stained bedding left on a bed which was only found when the bedding had to be removed on the day Read moreof departure. Rusty fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and loose wires found sticking out of the walls in the lounge. Would not recommend this property as the pictures did not portray it properly. "Response from holidaycottages.co,uk - Thank you for your feedback. Were sorry to hear that parts of your stay did not meet expectations. We want to reassure you that the issues you mentioned have now been fully addressed by the owners. All remaining COVID-related stickers have been removed, the bedding has been replaced, the bathroom stand with rust has been replaced, and the wires in the lounge have been fixed. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Hide
