Overview
Property code: OC-R33740

This attractive stone cottage is located in the charming village of Pooley Bridge, a postcard-pretty Lake District village with a relaxed, welcoming feel. The two-bed home is a wonderful base for small groups of family or friends to explore the national park. As well as excellent walking and cycling opportunities, the Ullswater steamer is just a 350 metre walk away (weather dependent), with stops at Howtown, Aira Force and Glenridding – it’s certainly a relaxed way to experience one of England’s most beautiful lakes.

You’ll enter this welcoming riverside cottage into a long hallway lined with books for a cosy, library-like feel. This leads through to a bright kitchen with lovely views down the garden and everything needed for easy self-catering. A door opens directly outside, so you can let in the fresh air while cooking or sipping your morning coffee. The open-plan living and dining room has a picture window overlooking the garden, comfortable sofas, a TV/DVD player and a wood burner to keep you all toasty. Head upstairs to find two inviting bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – along with a modern family bathroom. Outside, the garden has hillside views and a patio for al fresco dining, a lawn bordered by mature flowers and shrubs. You’ll have direct access to the river so you can sit back and simply watch the water drift by. As for parking, there are free spots in the village or you can pay to park in one of three nearby car parks (the nearest is 150 metres away).

Nearby, discover natural beauty spots like the impressive Aira Force waterfall (6 miles). Or visit Lowther Castle and Gardens (5 miles) which is a must for history lovers, with dramatic ruins and landscaped grounds, plus an adventure playground and café. Penrith (6 miles) has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants, while Glenridding (8 miles) provides further lakeside walks and local shopping. For a livelier day out, Keswick (16 miles) is surrounded by mountain scenery and packed with independent shops, eateries and attractions.

Great cottage with lovely garden and access to the river, perfect for launching paddle boards. Cottage is comfortable and has all the essentials although no washing machine or dishwasher. Great location a few meters from the shops and pubs in Pooley Bridge. Parking can be tricky but there was usually a space to be found without paying the car park Read morefees. Hide

Lovely property just a few things that would put the cherry on top. A Washing machine is needed at this property, the lakes are an active holiday destination and coupled with unpredictable weather you can get dirty. And then to link to a laundrette in the booklet that is also used to come and clean the place between stays, is very cheeky. UpRead morestairs needs an update, its tired. Also when you sit on the twin room beds, you can feel the slats beneath. Downstairs is furnished lovely with quality furniture, upstairs is not. The toilet flush is loose and temperamental, it needs a new one that just works. An extra Mirror would be useful. The current one fixed to the wall in bathroom means you cant do your hair or use plugs near it. Bit awkward if youre all going out for a meal and all getting ready too. A Garden umbrella would be a lovely extra. Parking was a nightmare - there needs to be some sort of agreement with the all day parking field or some sort of permit with the local car parks down the road. We found ourselves not going out sometimes because we didnt want to have to deal with the parking hassle or pay out on parking every day. The property is Lovely and Clean and a brilliant location. All the Essentials were there when we arrived - toilet roll / towels / washing up liquid / teas and coffees and if we needed anything, there were Great shops a stones throw away. The River access is amazing. The Garden is beautiful and it was lovely having ducks and ducklings in the garden everyday. We sat but the river every day, listening to the birds and spotting fish, it was the highlight of the property. Hide
