In amongst the wild and rural mountainous slopes of the Lake District National Park sits this charming cottage. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, this idyllic property is perfectly located for enjoying an abundance of impressive hiking trails up nearby fells. As a group of up to six people and two dogs can spend your days muddying your boots and paws as you ramble through a mosaic of picturesque woodlands and magnificent valleys.

Walk across the graveled pathway to enter through the porch door and discover a light and cosy sitting room with comfy sofas and a wood burner. As your dog curls up next to the flickering fire, the rest of your group can head through to the well-equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up a feast of your favourite foods. A dining space with a table is a fantastic place to socialize and plan your next day’s adventure. The most special part of this holiday home is its garden. Sit at the table on the patio as your four-legged friend explores the ample lawn and winding path that leads through to a small woodland with a pond – please keep an eye on children and dogs near the pond. When it’s time for bed, your group can choose from three bedrooms: two double rooms or a pretty twin, which offer views of either Causey Pike or Catbells.

The market town of Keswick is 4 miles from the doorstep and has plenty of eateries for foodies to wine and dine in as well as a number of independent shops to peruse. The beautiful Derwentwater is 5.5 miles away and is a lovely spot for a peaceful walk with your pup. You could even try a water sport activity like sailing or kayaking during your visit.

Mill cottage was a great home from home, equipped with everything we needed for our few day stay. The cottage was in lovely grounds and was really cosy. The location is excellent for exploring the area of Keswick and the many walks in the area. We look forward to a return trip.

Cosy and comfortable cottage on a wonderful location in the northern lakes. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked (with sharp knives!!!) and the log burner is perfect to warm up after a cold day on the hills. Already planning a return trip.

The property was excellent with everything you could need. Lovely to have plenty of matching glasses and I was particularly thrilled to find the knives were actually sharp (unlike in so many holiday properties). The location is second to none with lots of fantastic walks from the door. The Swinside Inn is highly recommended for a wonderful Sunday lRead moreunch (we visited several times but only ate there once). We are planning our return visit which is the highest recommendation possible. Hide

Our first trip to The Lakes and this was the perfect accommodation. Beautiful setting with easy access to many of the lakes but also beautiful walks on the doorstep. The cottage was warm and welcoming with absolutely everything you could need. Clean and cared for with all your home comforts. Would highly recommend, we will definitely be returning!

Such a lovely, well-equipped cottage nestled in beautiful surroundings, offering gorgeous walks and breathtaking views from the doorstep or just a short drive away. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed a morning dip in the stream at the end of the garden. Thank you, Martin, for the warm welcome and the welcome pack. We would all love to visit again in the fuRead moreture.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location with so many walks straight from the door. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and we all enjoyed relaxing in front of the wood burner after a long day of walking. Martin was a very welcoming and kind host and were guinea pigs for the excellent new bathroom just installed. Note to dog owners - tRead moreicks were a real problem so definitely go armed with tick treatment and a tick remover Hide

Fantastic cottage in an amazing location. The Newlands Valley is the best in the Lakes in my opinion. Views of Catbells, Causey Pike and Barrow from the cottage, all of which we hiked. Owners very friendly and helpful. Will go again at some point.

We received a warm welcome from the owners, Martin & Susan, who offered helpful advice about the area. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and superbly located for some excellent walks. We had a super holiday and wouldn't hesitate to return.
