Treat your family to a getaway in Watermillock. This bungalow would be the perfect spot for a holiday with the dog, where everyone can relax and enjoy the stunning countryside of the Lake District. Whether you like horse riding, walking, swimming or water sports, there’s something for you to do, plus new activities to try. You’ll be really close to the stunning Ullswater Lake, so evening paddles and afternoons skipping stones are all easily available.

The property opens up directly into the lounge/diner. It’s an airy, modern room with wood-panelled floors, so listen out for the tip-taps of your dog’s paws. There’s comfortable seating around a flame-effect gas fire for cosy evenings, and the whole place feels relaxing and sociable. Continue through to the galley-style kitchen, where you can make tasty meals or pack picnics for big days out. The kitchen has doors leading to the bedrooms. There’s a spacious bedroom with a super-king-size bed, and then a twin room, ideal for children. Each bedroom has its own en-suite shower room. The bungalow has a patio with a seating area, surrounded by bushes, and further out there’s a stretching lawn. If you’d like to bring outdoor gear like bikes and canoes, storage space can be arranged ahead of your arrival.

You’ll be a convenient 500 metres from Ullswater, a beautiful 8-mile-long lake which is wonderful to walk around. Alternatively, Aira Force Waterfall is 3 miles away and well worth a visit. Budding scientists and wildlife lovers should visit the Thornsgill Beck, Mosedale Beck and Wolf Crag Site of Special Scientific Interest, 8 miles away.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and we were warmly met by Jo & Jeremy on arrival. There was everything we needed for our week there and we felt very comfortable. The gas hob was one of our main reasons for selecting Woodlands Cottage. A great location for visiting Ullswater and the northern lakes. The nice little extras were very welcome too.

The cottage was very clean and very comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful and we were able to use their drying room for our wet waterproofs and boots. It was an excellent location for walks on the fells around Ullswater.

Quiet location and a spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage. Very practical being all on one level and parking is available right outside. We really enjoyed our stay here and found it perfect for exploring the Ullswater area. Lots of walks nearby without travelling too far in the car and convenient to get to Glenridding for the lake boats.
