Set beneath the fell, with sweeping views of Ullswater, Hallin Fell and Martindale Hause, our cottages are surrounded by gardens and open spaces where tranquillity reigns.  Here, it is not about flashy amenities or trendy features, it is about the joy of fresh air and the unparalleled beauty that starts right at your doorstep.

Step outside and adventure awaits, choose from scenic lakeside strolls to Glenridding and Patterdale or challenge yourself with walks over High Street to Haweswater, The Fusedale Valley, climbing Steel Knotts or follow the renowned Ullswater Way.  Whether you are a season walker or looking for a more casual walk there is a route here that will suit you.  The easy access to the lake is perfect for those looking to enjoy wild swimming , exploring the lake by paddle board or canoe or simply relaxing by the lake shore.

Our cottages are warm, cosy and functional  - offering all the comforts you need without unnecessary frills.  Think of it as a return to what matters: a comfortable space to rest after a day outdoors, with superfast broadband to keep you connected if you need it.  It is the perfect balance of modern convenience and lake district charm.
