This cottage is in the most superb position with beautiful and dramatic views from its rooms. For walkers and climbers, the situation is first-rate and the friendly Travellers Rest pub is only about 8 mins walk down the lane. Only 15 mins walk or a short drive down to Glenridding's shops and eateries. The house is comfortable and vey well-equipped.Read more The main front bedroom in particular is delightful in every way and the place is surrounded by wildlife - red squirrels included! Hide

Really enjoyed our stay, nice walk down to the pub and village. Lovely views and walks from the cottage. Great for exploring the North East of the Lake District and not too far to travel to places like Keswick, Ambleside or Coniston.

Superb location, awesome views. A bit outdated in the kitchen and bathroom but I would book again. Clean but a few aspects not perfect such as the cutlery tray being unclean, small things but important and the shower being poor. Great walks from the door, local good pub and good shops in a he village. Ill definitely tlreturn.

The magic of the mountains was so apparent in this cozy cottage, we will be returning! Although the road up to the house could be better maintained, the route was safe and easy.

A traditional cottage on the hillside out of Glenridding, with an amazing, expansive view of Birkhouse Moor.
