Overview
Property code: OC-SZ234

Enjoying an idyllic location on the edge of the picturesque hamlet of Seatoller, this fresh, bright and welcoming holiday cottage is a lovely retreat for five guests and two four-legged friends. Tastefully furnished and beautifully updated, this traditional property makes a warm and cheerful getaway for couples, families and their pets discovering the dramatic fells and stunning woodlands at the heart of the Lake District. Offering spellbinding views across Borrowdale, the cottage is within easy reach of some of the region’s best-loved lakes.

Entering this bright and relaxing property, the cosy lounge features a TV, plenty of seating and a stone fireplace with an open fire, providing a lovely space for your dog to snooze at the end of a great day as you chat or watch a movie. With a large sash window allowing light to flood in, the pretty kitchen/diner is perfect for everyone to get together to cook and share a family meal. The ground floor also hosts a family bathroom. Three light and cosy bedrooms are on the first floor: a single, a twin and a double room with valley views. Although the house doesn’t have its own dedicated outdoor space, the outside area is part of a natural shared terrace with a gill trickling past, and there are miles of idyllic walks for you and your pet to enjoy from the doorstep.

Buttermere, Crummock Water and Derwentwater are all nearby (within 6.5 miles), with Bassenthwaite Lake also within easy reach (11 miles). A fantastic base for eager dogs and their owners, Seatoller is close to the vibrant town of Keswick (8 miles) which has plenty of dog-friendly pubs and cafes. Dogs are welcome at local attractions including the Puzzling Place, the grounds at Mirehouse, Derwent Pencil Museum and Whinlatter Forest Park (all within 12 miles).

This property is in dire need of some TLC and updating. On arrival in the rain, water was pouring from bloked or broken guttering over the entrance,which was itself blocked by some outside storage containers which must have blown over. Not great. Then we discover it is cold inside, as the night storage heaters no longer work, not mentioneRead mored in the documentation at all. Instead there are plug in heaters dotted around. The open fire in the lounge is lovely, but only once you've made the trip to Keswick to buy some fuel. Decor is poor, including some extraordinarily terrible artwork, there was plaster dust in the bathroom, a clothes hanger on a light fitting in the lounge, the upstairs toilet had something left in the U bend. Brambles are all around the car parking spaces, to snag the unwary. The saving graces are the lounge and main bedroom, and of course Borrowdale itself. This is a superb location for walking from the door, and to be fair, the price is low for a rental in this location. Hide

Stunning location with beautiful walks on the doorstep. Small but comfortable cottage. We stayed with our 3 teenagers. We decided not to take our large dog, which was the correct decision as it would have been very tight on space if he had joined us. Master bedroom nice and large.

A little lovely little cottage in Borrowdale, the cottage was clean but rustic, amazing views! There were plenty of options for walking without moving your car, huge bonus.

Travelled with a 3 yr & 8 months old & personally felt like the property wasnt baby friendly due to the extension leads around the house & electical heaters. That said, the cottage is in a fab location & is well equipped. The Sky Tv is a bonus.

The cottage is in a lovely, quiet location at the end of Borrowdale. It was a little cold and damp when we got there, but once we mastered the heating system things improved. We arrived to find the hot water tap in the kitchen hanging off the sink, making it dangerous to use. We contacted the managers, who arranged for it to be repaired within a coRead moreuple of hours. Well done! However, the location of the washing machine and tumble dryer in the bathroom was dangerous and possibly not legal? Hide

Amazing location! Walk straight into the hills and youre away! Log fire and plenty of hot water to return too. Rough and ready but perfect for a family who plan to spend most of the time walking and exploring this area.

The cottage is warm & cosy, situated in a great location, quiet, comfortable, well equipped and there is a bus stop near by should you wish to leave your car parked up. Its perfect for those looking to explore the local area. There are good shops locally and in Keswick which is less than 20mins away by car and the area also has a good bus service.
