Squirrel Cottage was a lovely comfortable base for us to explore the more northern areas of the lakes, and we had a lovely stay. Its relatively small but very cozy and perfect for the three of us and a fluffy one. Weve visited the lakes for many years and stayed in various cottages and lodges but this has to be the most well equipped accommodatioRead moren weve ever stayed in, right down to having a step for our little girl to reach the sink, and a bean bag for her to relax on after busy days out! We arrived late and hadnt had chance to get the basics in so when we were greeted with thoughtful items such as Prosecco, eggs, bacon, bread, milk & biscuits we were very grateful. Things like kitchen foil, washing up liquid and shampoo arent usually provided in self catering accommodation so these were pleasant surprises too. Parking was sometimes a problem getting a space on the road in front of the cottage but the village had other places to park so wasnt too much of an issue. Lots of really nice places to eat nearby; The Sun, Pooley Bridge Inn and Ullswater Inn. Im aware the owners are new to holiday rentals but would be good to get a visitor book for future visitors to leave ideas for days out, places to eat, etc weve always enjoyed reading them in places weve stayed before and find them extremely useful. Lovely castle right on the doorstep too so be sure to visit Greystoke castle before you leave. Really enjoyed our stay :-) Hide

What a lovely cottage, clean and fresh. The atmosphere was warm and cosy and we really appreciated the welcome treats that had been left for us. The owners have put thought and care into Squirrel cottage and the reward is a first class holiday home with lots of homely comforts. We will definitely stay again.
