Ullswater is just 5 miles away opening up some of the most glorious scenery in the Lake District. The walking opportunities here are absolutely stunning with everything from big adventures on the mighty Helvellyn range to low level ambles around Aira Force to tempt you. You can also make the most of the beautiful lake either by hiring a kayak and paddling yourself or catching one of the stately Ullswater Steamers and enjoying the picturesque surroundings on a gentle cruise. Cyclists are particularly well served at Hillcrest with the Coast to Coast cycle way literally passing the front door and a wealth of bridleways and small rural roads to explore under pedal power nearby.

If you'd like to explore local town life you'll find that Keswick, just 8 miles away, makes a great day out. This much-loved Lakeland destination has a wealth of wonderful eateries, outdoor and independent shops, its own art deco cinema and a marvellous theatre offering a great range of plays, music and comedy throughout the year. Why not take a look around one of the stately homes nearby? With both Dalemain and Hutton in the Forest just over 8 miles away, you can lose yourself in their glorious grounds or find out more about their rich histories helping shape this eastern side of the Lake District.

My husband and i had a lovely stay at the cottage with our dog. The cottage was a perfect location; main road ten minutes from Penrith & Keswick, 30 mins to Ambleside & 45 to Windermere. Ate at the White Horse Inn almost every night as there was only a microwave and micro hob/oven at the cottage. Garden was not secure so i took the dog outside as nRead moreeeded. Luckily there was no-one in the main house door. Had a great stay and would recommend Hide

Lovely little cottage, ideal for two, the oven is a worktop oven its great for cooking ready meals. Had everything you needed, with some supplys provided such as tea, coffee even had cling film which was handy for pack lunch! The location is of main road but was ideal for travelling around about 15 minutes drive to Penrith, Keswick or Glenridding. Read morePub across the road food and cider were great and dog friendly.

Hillcrest is an excellent choice for exploring the Northern Lakes. It's clean and comfortable, well equipped for two. Lob burner was brilliant and the beds are "snuggerly" Dawn, the owner is friendly a d helpful bur not intrusive. Well worth the mony and we would have no hesitation to booking again.
