Sitting along the northern tip of Ullswater, the picturesque Lakeland village of Pooley Bridge is home to this fresh, breezy and cosy holiday cottage. Offering light and relaxing accommodation for six guests, this beautifully restored, lovingly updated property makes a lovely retreat for families, friends and couples exploring the north-eastern fringes of the Lake District. Close to the heart of the village, this beautiful cottage has plenty of delightful features including exposed beams, flagstone flooring, a roll-top bath and a welcoming wood burner.
This airy property has a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with feature beams and sandstone flooring.
