Buttercup Cottage dates back over 200 years, this delightful and romantic Lake District bolthole is surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Troutbeck Valley. Inside, features such as oak beams, slate floors and a welcoming open fire give the place character and charm. Mixing the old with the new, Buttercup Cottage also has plenty of contemporary creature comforts; including a smart rejuvenating shower room and an opulent double bedroom with a private sitting out spot. Take your morning coffee al fresco whilst admiring the views, trek the Lakeland fells, explore Troutbeck's friendly village culture, stop for refreshments by the fire at the Queen's Head or Mortal Man or drive the short distance to Bowness and the shores of Lake Windermere.

Back inside, a small entrance hall leads to the cosy, but beautifully presented, lounge with exposed beams and a lovely open fire. Step into the Shaker style kitchen and dining area, both are more than well-equipped for eating in. A shared utility room is accessed via the kitchen and this reflects how with a little ingenuity and lots of love, Buttercup Cottage is the perfect romantic getaway accommodation.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
