Cottages in the Lake District

Wayside is situated in the Borrowdale Valley, at the Southern end of Derwent Water on the deservedly popular bridle path to Castle Crag, and Rosthwaite and Seatoller beyond. It has stunning views West to Maiden Moor, and East, to Grange Fell. This delightful cottage sleeps four, having one double room, and a twin. It has many original features including beams and flag stone flooring, and also a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room. For warm evenings there's a garden. For warm days, a river to swim or paddle in within a two minute stroll. There are two cafes in Grange village, and if it's a drink you're after, the Leathes Head Hotel is happy to serve non residents and is about a four minute stroll. The closest town, Keswick is four miles distant, and there are plenty of good restaurants, as well as tourist attractions there, and closer to 'home'.

We have two cottages ideally situated close to the centre of Ambleside and all the town has to offer. Shepherds Fold is a two-bedroom (one twin, one double) cottage located in the conservation area and offering comfortable accommodation for four people. High View is a stone-built Victorian house offering comfortable accommodation for six people. It provides a perfect base for a family holiday with three bedrooms (one Queen, one double, one twin), two bathrooms and a large dining kitchen. Both properties have quality furniture and colour-co-ordinated soft furnishings and and the kitchens include fully integrated appliances and quality cookware, crockery and cutlery. Flat screen televisions, DVD players and CD/radio players are also provided. The cottages are ideally located on quiet lanes with very limited through traffic and within a 3-minute stroll from all the restaurants and shops.

In the pretty village of Yanwath, Gate Cottage offers stylish self catering accommodation for up to four people. Yanwath is an ideal starting point for exploring the Lake District and Eden Valley. The cottage is just three miles from the M6 and its nearest lake is Ullswater (4 miles) – a lake of sublime natural beauty against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain scenery. The cottage features bespoke kitchen, contemporary bathroom and spacious and comfortable bedrooms and living room. For catering in the cottage, Penrith and neighbouring villages offer farmers markets, farm shops and the award winning, Cranstons. For guests who prefer the more hands off approach, simply come downstairs to the Yanwath Gate Inn - "Cumbrian Dining Pub of the Year" (The Good Pub Guide 2007 & 2009) where you will find a warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and superb food.
