Savour the peaceful setting of this Lake District cottage, nestled in the idyllic village of Caldbeck at the northern edge of the national park. Perfect in every season, it offers a cosy wood burner to curl up beside on chilly days and a large lawned garden for making the most of long summer afternoons. Sleeping four guests, this handsome two-storey property is ideal for two couples or a small family. Step outside and you'll find a network of footpaths, cycle routes, and nature trails right on your doorstep, inviting you to explore the surrounding landscapes at your own pace.

Blending comfort with style, this thoughtfully designed home-from-home ensures a truly relaxing stay. The open-plan living area follows an L-shaped layout, with a bespoke, well-equipped kitchen at one end and a welcoming lounge at the other. Here, soft seating, a Smart TV, and a wood burner set the mood for cosy evenings, while French doors lead out into the enclosed garden - perfect for summer dining or a quiet morning coffee. Upstairs, two king-size bedrooms offer restful retreats; both with Smart TVs, so you can enjoy movie nights from bed. A sleek bathroom completes the interior, while outside, you'll find private parking for one car.

Caldbeck is a picture-perfect base for any getaway, framed by the Northern Fells and teeming with charm. Within 0.5 miles, you can wander to the riverside cafe, the welcoming country pub, or the atmospheric disused mill shrouded in overgrown greenery.

This is a truly special cottage in a delightful location. We have stayed in Lake District cottages for over twenty years and this ranks among the best of the places we have visited.

We had the most wonderful stay at Archway Cottage in August 2025. Elaine has completely renovated the cottage and kitted it out very good quality items and honestly it felt like home from home but better! Anything we needed was already there as she's thought of everything. Lovely welcoming gifts of fresh produce and delicious shortbread biscuitRead mores and oat cakes, sweets and wine. The cottage is wonderfully situated in a gorgeous little village in Caldbeck which boasts lovely pubs, cafes, craft/art shops and corner shop for all the necessities. Caldbeck is small and far away enough from busy hot spots but close enough to drive to. The cottage is homely and the best parts - the view from the back bedroom (peaceful and gorgeous), hearing the beck / river running by at the bottom of the garden, comfy beds and carpets then relaxing in the roll top bath after a busy day out. Just stunning. We can't wait to return soon. Our 14 year old lives in it too and has asked when we are returning. Thank you Elaine!! Hide

New, modern appliances throughout, a twin-drawer air-fryer in the kitchen, a wood-burning stove in the lounge (including a basket of logs), torches/nightlights in each room, blankets by the sofa (not that we were ever cold), plenty of crockery and cutlery so youre not having to wash-up every five minutes, a washing machine and airer tucked away in a utility room upstairs, so much kitchen equipment that even the most ambitious chef/baker wont be hampered and even a stock of basic supplies like kitchen foil, salt, pepper, spices and oil alongside the usual tea, coffee and sugar. We were welcomed with a beautiful basket of goodies, including biscuits, home-made jam and a bottle of wine, plus a bottle of fresh, local milk in the fridge. There was even a posy of fresh flowers in each room, which I guess were probably from the beautifully-maintained garden (make sure you spend some time on the patio at the bottom of the garden to enjoy the sound of the river and the beautiful scents from the herbs and flowers in the garden). We were fortunate to be the first guests to stay in Archway Cottage (May 2025) and we were able to thoroughly relax knowing that everything we needed was nearby and catered for. We cant wait to go back again! Hide
