The cottage is located in the pretty village of Pooley Bridge, which sits on the River Eamont and beautiful Ullswater, and there are many country pubs serving good food and local beer nearby. If you want to get out and explore the fells, or you are a keen cyclist or water sports enthusiast, then this is the perfect spot for you! Take a boat from the village to Howtown where you can walk to Glenridding and catch the boat back to Pooley Bridge. This was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks and offers views of Ullswater and Helvellyn. Moor Divock has pre-historic remains and a standing stone and stone circle to admire, or enjoy a day at Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens. Aira Force Waterfall is also just 6 miles away, set amongst ancient woodland and landscaped glades.

This pretty cottage has been lovingly restored. As you walk into the open-plan ground floor you will find the lounge with a cosy wood burner, comfy seating, Smart TV and a small office area. The sandstone flooring which runs throughout the ground floor is stunning along with the feature beams. There is a spacious kitchen with an electric range-style oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, coffee machine and microwave. Opposite the kitchen is the dining table, a great place to catch up with friends and family. There is also a useful utility/coat/boot room off the kitchen where you will find a washing machine and tumble dryer - it offers plenty of space for your dog’s bed and access out to the enclosed garden. Heading up the sandstone staircase, you will find three beautifully styled contemporary bedrooms, two doubles and one king-size, all are en-suite with a shower and WC. The bedroom to the rear of the property, overlooking the garden, has a floor-to-ceiling glass window in the en-suite bathroom which features one-way glass so you can shower while enjoying the countryside without worrying about your privacy! The pretty double bedroom has an original feature fireplace and a family bathroom next door with a stunning freestanding bath, handheld shower and WC.

There is a lovely, enclosed south-facing garden with views over the fields, it is a lovely spot to sit out on a summer’s evening, read a good book and enjoy a glass of wine. There is private parking for two cars.

Butt House is absolutely beautiful in a great location. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and so well appointed. The beds were so comfy that we took a photo of the mattress to try to source one ourselves! The log burner was very welcome on a cold, rainy evening.

A great place to stay for a week in the lovely Pooley Bridge. The house is very well equipped and the accommodation is of a high standard. Parking and garden generally work well although tight getting in/out. I would recommend.

Immaculate and comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Parking for 2 cars. Enclosed garden, backing onto a field, great for sitting outdoors to eat when the weather was good. Quiet location, easy walk to the centre of Pooley with pubs and great places to eat. Would definitely stay there again.

We had an amazing Easter break at Butt cottage, in what is a really scenic and amazing area. The cottage is spacious, yet cozy and the fire was a great treat after a long day on the fells. Really comfortable beds, great showers and everything you could want when away from home. Location was fantastic, with plenty of pubs, shops, restaurants and walRead moreks - straight from the front door. Our dog loved the garden and especially the sheep in the field next door. A fantastic cottage for a family holiday Hide

Lovely cottage and although only a minutes walk from the centre of everything was very quiet. Spotlessly clean. All 3 bedrooms are good sizes and the en-suites large and showers powerful. Kitchen was very well equipped and the utility space was great for leaving dog stuff, coats and shoes and can imagine in wet weather a great addition. The garden Read moreis very secure for dogs. Lastly the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and bottle of fizz much appreciated. Hide
