Elegant country chic interiors, original wooden beamed ceilings, spacious shared areas and a games room make this impressive dog-friendly nine-person property an idyllic escape for a memorable getaway. Wake up to lake views and spend your time breathing in the fresh countryside air while exploring the magnificent natural landscapes of the Lake District National Park.

The charm of this cottage will grab your attention from the minute you step inside. The wooden beamed ceiling, grand stone archway and antique clock in the lounge create a traditional and homely feel. Spend cosy evenings with a film on the Smart TV on the plump sofas while the wood burner-effect electric fire creates an ambient glow. Next to this room is the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with neutral tones, a rustic breakfast bar area, a breakfast table and a range cooker. There is an additional dining room with contemporary lighting and a large dining table. For some after-dinner entertainment, head to the games room for some pool.

We enjoyed our mini break at Highside Farmhouse. It is conveniently located for visits to surrounding places (Keswick/Cockermouth/Windermere) and comfortably slept our party of 7. There is plenty space within the property itself, with parking for 3 cars to the front. Our main recommendations would be for a downstairs bathroom to be installed & for Read morea hoover/washer/dryer to be situated within the property. The owners were very friendly,helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Hide

The outside of the cottage hides the true delight of this very large and spacious property, Kitchen, dining, bedrooms are spacious, living room warm and inviting with a pool room just of it, Which keep the adults entertained in the evening, a little bit of traffic noise morning and evening but not for long, parking spaces for 3 cars .

Great farmhouse in a stunning location. The rooms are of a really good size. Perfect for my family of older parents and adult children. Lots of room to eat & plenty of crockery & glasses. The pool table was great and well used by us. The host family were friendly and helpful.

This is a beautiful and extremely well equipped property which I woul happily recommend. We were on a family break with 9 of us from 3 generations. The children especially liked the upstairs den where they could watch TV while they were waiting for everyone to get ready to go out for the day. The owner, Deborah, was extremely friendly and helpful.

Definitely recommend High Side farm house. Decent location - you will need to drive to get to most of the walks / parks nearby. Accommodation is very comfortable and will sleep 9 comfortably. Good facilities for self catering.

We had the farmhouse for a week, plus for 3 nights one of the B&Bs. Both were excellent. The house, off the road from Keswick, is perfect for a large family getaway.

We had a great stay at Deborah's cottage. She was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay and quite responsive to any queries we had. The cottage is centrally located in terms of travel to main attractions . The house has a view of lakes and mountain The cottage is beautifully decorated and has every thing you need away from home. The coRead morettage has a mix of old and new construction which gives it a unique setup. I would recommend Deborah's cottage for a nice,warm and beautiful stay. Hide
