Character Cottage with fabulous mountain views in the North Lakes District

Stay at Erika's Cottage in a great location in the Lake District National Park with fantastic views of Blencathra, and the Mungrisedale Fells and the Dodds and Helvellyn Range to the south. This characterful one-bedroom cottage sits next to a private woodland where you may catch sight of the resident red squirrels and enjoy watching the other wildlife such as pheasants, birds of prey, woodpecker and stoats.

The cosy living room has wifi, 4K Ultra HD Smart TV and Nest Thermostat so that you can control your cottage temperature.

Erika's Cottage sits in a fantastic position to explore the Lake District with Ullswater only 6 miles away with its lakeside villages of Pooley Bridge and Glenridding; Keswick and Derwentwater are only 12 minutes drive away, and there is easy access to the rest of the Lake District.

There are plenty of welcoming pubs in the area and the nearest the Troutbeck Inn is just 1 mile away in Troutbeck Village; there is also a great farm shop 3 miles away on the A66.

The cottage is for a maximum of 2 people and well-behaved dogs are very welcome (small pet fee).

Fabulous location

The cottage was just perfect for me and my dog as a base in the eastern Lakes. The views of Blencathra from the sitting room & garden were magnificent. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and we thorough enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

A peaceful Haven

We loved this property. It was perfect for us plus our small dog. The outside space was lovely with it's enclosed garden and small wood beside. Views over to Blencathra were stunning and offered us an ideal spot to just chill out especially after some walking in the hills.Difficult to tear yourself away but will definitely return.

Brilliant little cottage.

Small but perfectly formed. Lovely location and space of stay will likely book again. Only gripe was the mattress was not particularly brilliant but otherwise the cottage was perfect for us. I’d recommend to couples or small families anytime.

Cute Cottage

Lovely little cosy cottage, nice and quiet. Surrounded by trees and lovely views. Clean and tidy. A very small detail, but we could have done with a few more glassware. Only one small glass for drinking spirits or water.

Fabulous views!!

Lovely cottage! Had most all amenities one could want. Absolutely breathtaking views! I know it's a pet property but only complaint would be the very wet dog smell. We don't have a dog. I think updated rugs in the cottage might make a huge difference. Was fortunate to see a red squirrel. Would not hesitate to come back.

Ideal cottage for 2. Very warm (we had a winter break) and cosy. Red squirrels in the copse next door and a fabulous view of Blencathra. Dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden. We will be back.
