  • A stunning cottage offering spectacular mountain views in a tranquil and beautiful location
  • Ideal for exploring Grasmere, Windermere and Coniston
  • A cosy cottage with plenty of enjoyable walks nearby
Property code: LCC12

With extensive grounds and ample Lake District walks on the doorstep, this charming cottage is perfect for adventurous families and their furry four-legged friends. Sleeping six across three airy and comfortable bedrooms--with the master boasting incredible mountain views--there is space for everyone to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Spend your evenings beside the cosy wood burner in the open-plan lounge or drinking in the view from the raised deck as the children and dogs enjoy the garden.

 

Feel instantly at home as you step into the cottage, with lots of warm and welcoming touches throughout. Dine and relax in the beautiful open-plan lounge/diner, perhaps recapping the day’s adventures or simply curling up with a good book. The room boasts a host of beams, tiled floors, and deep bay windows set either side of the chimney breast, all adding to the countryside charm of the property. Enjoy your morning coffee in the light-filled conservatory, taking a welcome break from the action. Outside, you’ll find extensive shrub-lined grounds surrounding the property - a great spot in which to relax and play.

 

Take the riverside track for an easy 1-mile stroll to the dramatic Skelwith Force with its viewing platform set over the churning waters. Or lace up your walking boots and set off for Louhrigg Fell (1.5 miles), passing Loughrigg Tarn en route, before venturing further to Rydal Water (5 miles) and Grasmere (7 miles). Much of the Great Langdale valley is in the care of the National Trust, who have ten farms here; why not visit High Close Estate and Arboretum (2 miles) or Sticklebarn (4 miles), a National Trust pub that sources all it can from the valley.

What a thoroughly enjoyable stay we all had at Carr Cragg cottage. The cottage is so warm and welcoming that I really did not want to leave! It is ideally situated just a few minutes drive from Ambleside and many other beautiful little villages. The walks on the doorstep are superb so you dont really have to drive if you dont want to.

We've been coming to the lakes for a lot of years, and I can honestly say that this was the best cottage by far. Internally.. nothing was left to chance, beautifully & very comfortably furnished. Externally, the grounds were just beautiful.. and we spent hours watching the wildlife visit.. we even bought nuts for the bird feeder to encourage them.

The cottage was in a fabulous location, quiet, spacious and fantastic views. Walks from the cottage in every direction. Comfy beds and great pressure on the showers. Everything was provided. The only let down for me was the lack of cleanliness of the cottage and the awful smell of wet dogs. I have a dog (I didn't take her), and she smells (as most Read moredo) but this was awful. The cleaning co. Need to check and ensure that the cleaning is done properly. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Carr Crag Cottage, the location is phenomenal!! There are a few recommendations we have sent to the owners that would need to be fixed before we considered staying again but overall we enjoyed the house, its layout is family friendly and the kitchen is well kitted out. There are lots of walks from the house itself and Read morethe pub down the road is dog friendly with good food. Hide

The situation of the cottage is amazing. The cleanliness of the property was an issue. The house had clearly not been hoovered and the floors were dirty, with dog hair, milk stains and general grit and dirt in the main rooms. I have no idea why cleaning issues have not be rectified as many reviews complain about the uncleanliness of the house. We hRead moread a few maintenance issues: bath panel hanging off and screws sticking out, dishwasher not draining due to broken glass in it. A real shame. Hide
