We return to this cottage time and time again. Our children love the space and how wild it is, and it is really homey and comfy with the most amazing views.

The cottage is up a steep driveway off a private road, with plenty of parking providing a secluded and private position. The cottage was very clean on arrival giving us reassurance during the current COVID situation.

Great location for families who enjoy walking. Set high up, nestled into the hill side it feels time has stood still. Well equipped kitchen.

It has an elevated position, with Ullswater in sight from the livingroom window. The cottage was cosy and warm (we were there January) and had everything we needed. The location was very quiet. All the places you are most likely to visit (Keswick, Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, Consiton) are within short driving distance of the cottage. The only fly-in-the-ointment was perhaps not being allowed to stay on 2 extra hours on departure day (until 12pm). This was apparently to accommodate the cleaner rather than the guests! A bit disappointing given that it was low season and there didn't appear to be anyone coming in behind us. That said, we would return as it was a delightful cottage and not much to fault with it in the main. ##### Craig ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Drove Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Highland-Drove-Inn.h34089268.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [1863 Restaurant with Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-1863-Bar-Bistro-Rooms.h18439360.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brantwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Brantwood-Hotel.h45786516.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal at Dockray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Royal-At-Dockray.h2252929.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boot and Shoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Boot-And-Shoe.h5769303.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Leeming House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Macdonald-Leeming-House.h985.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Orton Hall, Royalist Suite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Orton-Hall.h33962557.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Stafford House Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Stafford-House-Guest-House.h4912983.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Westmorland Hotel Tebay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Tebay-Services-Hotel.h888778.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhead Farmhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Townhead-Farmhouse.h30997424.Hotel-Information) > > [Pooley Bridge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Pooley-Bridge-Inn.h35801135.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Crown-Inn-At-Pooley-Bridge.h16473197.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Patterdale Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Patterdale-Hotel.h4581032.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury, romantic boathouse on the shores of Lake Ullswater, perfect for special occasions.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Luxury.h40189584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [Troutbeck Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Troutbeck-Inn.h22607768.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) ---
