The cottage is located in the pretty village of Pooley Bridge, which sits on the River Eamont close to beautiful Ullswater, and there are many country pubs serving good food and a variety of drinks nearby. Catch one of the famous steamers in the village and disembark at Aira Force to see the impressive waterfall.

Lowther Castle is less than 5 miles away; the castle and gardens are a sight to behold and there is a fabulous adventure playground. Sailing, paddleboarding and horse trekking are all available in the local area.

 Entering this Lakeland property through the pretty porch, guests first come to a hallway, off from which they will find the cosy and homely lounge. The open fire adds to the atmosphere of this room, where there is comfortable seating from which guests may like to watch the TV at the end of a busy day. At the back of the lounge is the dining room with a table and chairs to sit eight people. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, hob, two fridges, freezer, microwave and dishwasher, whilst the utility room, just off from the kitchen, is where guests will find a drying area and washing machine. Just before heading upstairs, you will find a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, there are three wonderful bedrooms which are all decorated in a pretty cottage style, in keeping with the property. The main bedroom is a king-size with a single, whilst there is also a twin and a double bedroom. The stylish bathroom on this floor offers a spacious bath, perfect for easing tired hiking muscles and unwinding after a long day, along with a separate shower, sink, and WC.

Lovely cottage, spacious, well-equipped, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very central to Pooley Bridge and Ullswater, lots of walks from the house. We were blessed with great weather. Pooley bridge has a variety of pubs, restaurants, gift shops-everything needed. Loved our time away, would recommend.

Cottage is in an ideal location central in Pooley Bridge. One dog is allowed but wouldn't say its 'dog friendly' dogs not allowed upstairs or on furniture. Cottage is dated, and has very creaky floorboards (would wake others nipping the loo in the night). Parking for two cars is a squeeze.

Third time at this cottage. Spotlessly clean, really well equipped and a great situation. We were a party of 6 Adults and 2 small children and there was ample room for us all. Great location - handy for all the local walks and shops and, of course, the pubs. Thank you.

We spent Christmas at the house and it was everything we could have wished for. It was warm, comfortable and really well appointed, with top quality fixtures and fittings too. The decor at the house is really tasteful and the hosts had added a Christmas tree and decorations, which were the cherry on the cake. I wouldnt hesitate to stay there again Read moreand 100% recommend. Hide

Great cottage and area but think a little small upgrade required on decor but note this is only a small observation.
