With views of the garden, the dining area is a great place to gather come breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just a few steps away, the cosy kitchen has an island in the centre creating a social area with a vibrant red AGA as the main feature of the room.

This is a lovely cottage. It looks unassuming from the outside, but is actually quite spectacular (and a bit of a tardis - huge!). Furnishings, decor and objets d'art are all high quality (loved the bath and bedding). We used the aga to cook every meal and loved relaxing in the living room each evening.

We had a really fabulous weeks stay at the beautiful Nethercroft. It had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space for parking 3 cars and in the cottage there was more than enough room for the six of us. Lovely views and great location. Thanks

Lovely place to stay. Beautiful walks on the doorstep. Clean, large and airy but also cosy. I expect Winter time would be just as nice! Well equipped with a lovely bright art room too! Would highly recommend.

This setting is simply stunning and ideal to get back to nature. The owners have created a luxury home from home with everything catered for. Great central location for visits to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere, Ulverston and Hawkshead but this the kind of place you can't wait to get back to as well.
