Perfect base for a couple of days walking with our dogs. Cottage is very comfortable and warm with everything we needed. Both bedrooms were lovely and it was hard to decide which one to use. The cottage was bigger than I expected from the photos. Bathroom was so modern too.

Tranquil cottage in a remote place but only a couple of miles to Ulleswater, and about 20/30mins to Penrith or Keswick. Shame the glorious view from just down the lane was not available from the cottage. Had everything we needed (except TV which was faulty during our stay). Very handy been able to use the Quiet Site (Camp site) next door to walk toRead more for a pint and a pizza on an evening. (Camp site was as it's name suggests). Hide

Lovely little cottage in a great location. Pooley Bridge was a good walk with an alternative route away from the busy road. Dogs loved swimming in Ullswater. The quiet site next door were very welcoming to non residents wanting to use the bar.

We had issues with the WiFi on arrival and it took 24hours to resolve after several phone calls, once sorted the signal was so poor it was untenable.

This is a lovely cottage to stay in, we stayed late September. There are plenty of walks to do even if you have to drive to a few places. We had great weather but the fire at night was nice as it got colder. It was lovely and peaceful so you were close to the wildlife. We took our 2 Patterdales with us and they enjoyed the walks.

This didnt make any difference to us but thought id mention it incase it matters to future guests.

Lovely cottage in a brilliant location. Perfect for walking the Ullswater way or walking to Pooley Bridge. Pub in walking distance. Peaceful and quiet in rural Cumbria. Shared, open, slanting garden so not suitable for letting dogs off or small children playing. Small cottage, but nicely furnished.
