Leave the car behind and explore the Lakes on foot, this property is conveniently situated close to Buttermere, Crummock Water and two extremely scenic waterfalls. Filled with traditional farmhouse elements including a warming Aga, this lovely cottage provides an exceptional place to stay for up to seven guests. The family-ready holiday home enjoys a remote working farm location with a cute café next door and bundles of scenery all around, ideal for any extended families or groups of friends hoping to get away from it all and enjoy a tranquil break.

Finished to a high standard, you’ll want for nothing in this lovely place. Enter via the boot room and leave any outdoor equipment behind.  There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and separate WC in this room too.

We had a wonderful time at Croft Farm cottage, it was warm and inviting from the minute we got there. Plenty of space for 5 adults and ideally positioned to explore Buttermere. We enjoyed plenty of walks from the doorstep and finished off with a drink and dinner in both the Bridge Inn and Buttermere Court. Croft Farm Cafe serves great Sausage batchRead morees and Sykes Farm tea room does a lovely full English. A great place to stay if you love the outdoors and somewhere with space and comfort to relax in the evening. The welcome pack was also a great bonus surprise. Hide

Overall a good property in an excellent location with easy access to the Buttermere and Crummock lakes. However, be aware that access to the small garden is only permitted outside of the adjacent cafes opening hours. This is not mentioned on the website but is referenced within the cottage information booklet .

This place is fantastic. Well stocked and beautiful rooms with plush carpet. The welcome pack with lovely treats was amazing. Having a charger available was helpful. The door frames and beams are low (watch out to duck!) also the floors/stairs are uneven (helpful to know if you are travelling with older people.) The beds were comfortable and it wasRead more very quiet inside the house - except for the occasional sheep passing by! Perfect place to explore Buttermere and the lakes nearby. Hide

Croft House Farm was very comfortable and well-equipped accommodation for our group of 3 couples. The property is ideally located next to a couple of pubs and a cafe but it was very quiet. We spent a week walking and cycling from the door. There is so much to do locally that we didn't use our cars all week!

We had an excellent week in this cosy, warm and welcoming house. It had everything we needed for the 5 of us (and 6 would have been comfortable too). The location is wonderful- great walks from the front door not to mention a nice tea shop next door and hotel bar and food about 20 paces away! It may have been a wet November stay but we were toasty Read morewarm and able to get all our walking stuff dry with ease. Perfect! Hide

Beautiful cosy cottage in an excellent location just 10 mins walk from the lake . Pubs serving food across the road . It was spotless. The kitchen had everything you could want and the little extras left were a lovely touch. We would stay again. Thank you
