Sleeping up to four guests, this property is ideal for both families and couples. Its quiet location means that you can escape your busy life and retreat to the countryside in no time. The ground floor features an open plan living and dining room which has been refurbished in 2021, complete with a cosy wood burner and open views across gardens and fields at the rear. Also on the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen and a modern family bathroom. Upstairs, you will find the bedrooms and a shower room, and you will soon realise why this property is one to remember.

You will never tire of waking up to that view every morning. The property also benefits from a large, private lawned garden, which is at the end of the row of cottages, complete with patio and garden furniture. Because of the open nature of the surrounding landscape, the garden is a great place to relax in, soak up the sun and enjoy the wildlife and views all around. Immediately behind the property is a dense wood with red squirrels and birds of prey. From the top you have stunning views to Skiddaw, one of the highest fells in the Lake District National Park.

The Theatre by the Lake offers award-winning arts and drama, and the mind-boggling world of the Puzzling Place is fun for all ages. Take a trip to Cockermouth, 7½ miles, the birthplace of William Wordsworth. Whether you want relaxation, adventure or family fun, The Tottsie is a great choice for your next Cumbrian holiday. Beach 16 miles. Shop 6 miles, pub and restaurant 1¾ miles.

Second time at Tottsie, it was lovely to stay there again.

Second time at Tottsie, it was lovely to stay there again. Improvements made include a dishwasher which was helpful. Beautiful views from the cottage and easy access to woods behind for walking the dog. Quirky garden access arrangements removes usefulness of the garden but that's a minor point with the Lake District on the doorstep.

Charming old cottage with brilliant views of Skidaw and the Derwent valley.

Charming old cottage with brilliant views of Skidaw and the Derwent valley. The facilities inside the cottage are very good and clean. Everything worked and I had a nice chat with the lady who's carport you need to go through to reach the garden. We had a good week with the weather so parking 50 yards from the cottage in a lay-by was not a problem, though may of been a bind had the weather been awfull. Would go again.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Lovely comfortable cottage. Very well equipped. Good location to access the lakes. Superb views. Shame there wasn't direct access to the garden and garden could have benefited from some nice flower borders and nicer seating. Wi-fi would be good but overall a lovely place to stay.

Lovely cottage, only downfall no wifi.

Lovely cottage, only downfall no wifi. Upstairs bathroom has a toilet thats not connected to the main drain, sadley this smelt and toilet needed a good clean it was stained.....no fitting plug on sink as it was broken....it had been a push down one, could loose thinys down it. Plastic one there but didnt fit to hold water. Ensure you do take tea/coffee etc I've not stayed anywhere wher you don't get left something. Make sure you do take food no shops near to pick any up after a long journey. Otherwise lovely place to stay.
