About this property

Just a couple of miles north of Ullswater, this traditional property makes a fantastic holiday retreat for eight guests. Set in the idyllic Matterdale region in the north-eastern corner of the Lake District, this tranquil cottage offers picturesque views and is a fantastic base for eager walkers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring this spellbinding area. Stepping inside this tastefully furnished and beautifully decorated property, you will find a lovely range of features including exposed beams, a welcoming wood burner, an impressive four-poster bed and a fresh, relaxing light-filled garden room. One of three properties onsite, this secluded hideaway provides a lovely getaway for larger families marking a special occasion and for groups of friends discovering the stunning surroundings.

Surrounded by mature gardens, with climbing plants clinging to the front facade, this light, spacious and welcoming cottage features a charming porch perfect for leaving muddy boots before you head through to the delightful dining room. This breezy and relaxing room is great for everyone to gather to enjoy a fantastic family meal or mark a special occasion. Exploring the ground floor further, there are two fresh and inviting lounges to unwind in: the first with a wood burner and an array of books to browse, while the second is ideal for settling back to watch a favourite movie. There’s also a pretty, light-filled garden room with lovely views, as well as a sociable and traditional, country-style kitchen with exposed beams, a handy breakfast table and a wide range of useful equipment. Heading upstairs, the first floor offers four refreshing bedrooms all decorated in soft soothing tones: three doubles, including one with a fantastic four-poster bed, plus a bunk bedroom which has an additional single bed. Heading outside, the extensive mature garden has several lovely seating areas, a swing and some hidden nooks and crannies tucked away behind hedges and through archways.
