Overview
Property code: OC-90873

This small, detached bungalow is set in Patterdale, just a mile from the bustling village of Glenridding at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass. It is a fantastic starting point for a range of great walks in the local area, including the valley of Deepdale between Ullswater and Brotherswater. A haven for walkers, local peaks include Helvellyn, St Sunday Crag and Stony Cove Pike (all within 5 miles). Other local walks include Place Fell (opposite the property). Lake Ullswater is less than a mile to the north, where you can enjoy a trip on one of the steamers. With stops along the way, you can visit the Aira Force Waterfall, Howtown and the bustling lakeside village of Pooley Bridge, where you will find plenty of welcoming pubs and restaurants. From Howtown you can walk back to Glenridding, this was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks and offers views of Ullswater and Helvellyn. Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens (11 miles) is also a great place to visit.

Set back from the road, Patterdale Cottage has off road parking for one car. The front door is at the rear of the property. There are two comfy bedrooms, the double room is on the left and single room is on the right as you enter the lounge is set at the front of the property, where you will find a cosy wood burner and lovely views of Place Fell. The kitchen is off the lounge and features everything you need to make a good hearty breakfast or a nice evening meal. Completing the property is the family bathroom. Although, the cottage is small it is ideal for two people either a couple or two friends. The perfect place to curl up and relax after a day out exploring.

To the rear of the property there is a small patio with a bench and a table with two chairs, and ideal spot for morning coffees or an alfresco meal. There is another bench at the front, nestled amongst the shrubs and foliage. The small outhouse at the back of the property houses a washing machine and additional fridge/freezer. This is an ideal space to dry off coats and walking gear. The property is a great base to explore Ullswater and the surrounding area with Windermere only 12 miles away and Keswick just a 30minute drive.

Couldn't find a visitor book so glad to write a review here. The property was ideal for two people (and a dog). It was very well equipped including food for the birds (so close) and the Red Squirrels which are rare to see anyway and these were right outside the window - amazing views. So many birds visiting (loved seeing Nuthatch so close) that we Read moreemptied the seed bin provided (thanks for that) by the Wednesday. A bit of a trek to the nearest shops in Glenridding but you can always use the car if you want. Highly recommend this property. Hide

The cottage is quite nice with everything you might need for a short stay. Wonderful to have a whole large cupboard for putting your own food in. The additional fridge freezer outside was most welcome, as was the washing machine. We felt our dogs were secure in the garden but a small escapee dog would be able to get out under the gates. Most of Read morethe garden area is hard patio but there is a small lawn and garden area for fussy dogs. Cottage was warm once we'd sorted out the heating timers and very convenient for our round Ullswater walking endeavour. We would happily recommend the cottage for anyone staying in the Ullswater area. Hide

Definitely recommend this lovely cottage. Clean and fresh on arrival. We would watch the birds feed outside the patio doors for ages. Great pub with delicious food a minutes walk up the road. Almost on the shores of Ullswater Lake.

Some elements of the cottage were great, well equipped kitchen, lovely welcome pack, amazing location. Perhaps because we visited end of season, but the cottage needed a deep clean which we have fed back to the owners. Elements of repair needed with low water pressure in the shower and the bathroom door not closing.

Great location. Garden is lovely, there's a fab selection of birds to watch on the feeders and red squirrels in the trees beyond. Cottage was warm and clean but is in need of a refurb.

Lovely, cosy cottage in great location. Easy walk to welcoming local pub and easy walk to Glenridding. Secure, dog safe garden. Cottage has everything you would need for a week's holiday. Comprehensive welcoming pack - much appreciated. Owner lives next door, is very helpful but not intrusive.

Best cottage weve ever stayed in. Cosy, big fridge and freezer meant less shopping as could stock up. Location superb. For dogs it was excellent as the garden was secure. Great sun trap at the back for relaxing with a coffee and then a great view from the living room.

Lovely location .and cottage very good value for money. The view across the fells from the lounge window made me smile every morning !
