Ideally located near to the attractive villages of Hesket Newmarket, Caldbeck and Mungrisdale, the cottage has views of the Lake District mountains, the Pennines and on clear days the distant hills of the Scottish Borders. All this and the added bonus of being in easy reach of Keswick, Derwentwater, Ullswater and Bassenthwaite and close to the Cumbria Way and the Coast to Coast Cycle Route.

The Tastefully-furnished accommodation comprises on the ground floor, a comfortable beamed living area with many period features, a well-equipped newly fitted kitchen with slate-tiled floor, and a shower room with a large walk-in shower.

Upstairs is a large family bedroom with a double and single bed and oak beams. This room can be reconfigured into a single and double bedroom, with their own separate access, if required.

Adjustable night storage heaters and an electric stove ensure a warm snug stay. Duvets, blankets, clean fresh bed-linen and tea towels are provided with all services included in the price. Towels can be hired if required.

If you require provisions on arrival or during your stay let us know in advance. The annexe has a freezer for storing ready-meals and any other items you may need.

Why not relax after a long day out and sit in the garden, take in the amazing views and enjoy looking at the stars on a warm summers evening?
You will have a good chance of seeing a red squirrel from the colony which has lived in our woods for at least 30 years, and you can walk out onto the fells through our back gate.

We regret smoking is not permitted in the cottage. Also we do not allow dogs in order to protect the squirrels.

Private parking for one car is available adjacent to the cottage.
