Nestled near the charming village of Pooley Bridge in the picturesque Lake District, this idyllic holiday destination offers convenient access to Ullswater, perfect for couples and families eager to explore nature and indulge in water sports. There is a holiday park a short walk away which features an on-site shop and a restaurant/bar, and Pooley Bridge itself is just 1.5 miles away and highly worth a visit, where independent shops and pubs serve delicious local cuisine and beer. Explore historic sites such as Moor Divock, boasting prehistoric remains just 4 miles away, or spend a day at Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens, a mere 2 miles from this delightful cottage. Only 7 miles away, the enchanting Aira Force Waterfall awaits, nestled within ancient woodland. Experience the region from a different perspective by taking a boat between the villages of Howtown (4 miles) and Glenridding (8.5 miles). This scenic 6.5-mile trail was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks, offering breathtaking views of Ullswater and Helvellyn.

Nestled along a tranquil road, this beautiful holiday cottage offers a serene escape surrounded by stunning countryside. As you walk down the drive and enter, you are greeted by a warm and inviting kitchen, the heart of this holiday home. A large dining table centres the room, and invites gatherings, while a cosy wood burner and Smart TV add to the comfort. There is a stable door with access out into the garden. Descend two steps into the lounge, where dual-aspect views captivate, with a vast picture window offering glimpses of open fields and Ullswater Lake in the distance. In spring, you might see lambs in the fields while you unwind in the comfortable seating area by another crackling wood burner. Upstairs, three bedrooms await with feature beams, one with an en-suite shower and WC, and a family bathroom with a bath with a shower over.
Step outside to the large, enclosed garden with an extensive lawn and patio. A shed provides storage for bikes and sports equipment, while a charming garden house, perched overlooking fields and fells, offers the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful countryside, even on chilly nights. Due to the levels within the garden and the small stream which runs along the top of the garden, young children should be supervised.

Booked the cottage for a party of 6 adults and a small baby to celebrate a number of family birthdays. We found the cottage comfortable and welcoming. Conveniently located for what we wanted, with fantastic views and giid amenities. We think we will probably try to book it again when the whole family can meet up.

Charming well presented three bedroom cottage. Spotlessly clean. Warm. Very comfortable. Views from every window. . Helpful host. Good location for exploring the Lake District. Big well kept garden. . Steep drive that has to be backed down . Five mins in car to local general store and pubs doing grub. Ideal for outdoorsy people. Delighted with two Read morelog burners which must be great in the winter. We did light one to dry our sodden clothes having been caught in a storm. Hide

Gorgeous cottage, in a beautiful setting, within walking distance (10 mins) of all the amenities of Pooley Bridge. Spotlessly clean, and very comfortable beds, sofas etc. Full of light and great views from the house and garden, I'm sure very cosy in winter. The sun was shining all weekend, and we were pleased we were out of the busy pooley bridge.

A beautiful property surrounded by countryside. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable and it was a bonus having somewhere to put our bikes. Tea, coffee, milk and a bottle of wine were awaiting us on arrival, which was thoughtful. The parking was a little difficult, but this was a minor problem compared with all the good points. ConvenienRead moret location for Pooley Bridge and only a short drive to Penrith. Probably not suitable for very elderly or disabled people. Hide

Cannon Croft is a beautiful house, in the most beautiful setting. The gardens are gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the lambs outside from the window seat.

What a beautiful place. Everything was really nice and the cleanliness was outstanding. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed several walks straight from the cottage. The walk into Pooley Bridge is quick and easy - much better than driving in. Will be recommending it to friends and hope to come back ourselves.
