Traditional detached stone house set in the stunning Lake District National Park, overlooking fields and fells. The pretty village of Pooley Bridge sits on the River Eamont and beautiful Ullswater is just 2 miles away. The village has a selection of country pubs serving good food and local beer – there is a lovely waterside café and small independent shops too. Take a boat from Pooley Bridge to Howtown where you can walk to Glenridding and catch the boat back. It was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks and offers views of Ullswater and Helvellyn. Enjoy a day at Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens or visit Aira Force Waterfall (8 miles), set amongst ancient woodland and landscaped glades. Park your car and head down the steps into the enclosed garden.

As you enter the property you will find yourself in the hallway where there is coat and boot storage. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is off the hall and offers a great social space to catch up with lovely parquet flooring, a cosy wood burner and original beams. There is a Smart TV in both the lounge and kitchen area. The kitchen offers dining for the whole party and everything you will need to enjoy a hearty breakfast or an evening meal. There is access out onto the garden from the lounge area. Off the lounge, you will find a sunroom, which has stone flooring and is a practical space to relax or for muddy dogs after a long walk. The views from this room are breathtaking, it is also a great place to sneak off to get away from it all with a good book or a glass of wine! Head back through the lounge and into the hallway, and at the bottom of the stairs you will find a bathroom. Up the staircase on the first floor you will find the second bathroom, and a couple more steps lead to the main landing. Here you will find the three beautiful bedrooms – one double, one king-size and a twin, all with lovely countryside views.

The pretty, enclosed garden is accessed from either the sunroom or lounge. There is a patio with charcoal BBQ and a seating area to enjoy al fresco meals on a nice evening! Sink into the hot tub and enjoy the views.

The outside space and location were lovely but it needs better quality outdoor furniture for price of rental. The inside is clean but could be better for what they are charging. No sink in toilet. Enjoyed the holiday but have stayed in much better accommodation for the money.

Brilliant location, nice property but a bit dated. We had a fabulous holiday here. Very comfortable. Location is perfect, great views and a 4 min drive to Pooley Bridge. For same/less money we have stayed in larger & smarter places though. Dogs are not allowed upstairs & garden wall is low enough for even quite small dogs to jump over. Lovely touchRead morees like Prosecco on arrival & robes. Sun room and hot tub are great. We really enjoyed our stay just a bit over priced. Hide

Absolutely stunning place with amazing views, the cottage has everything you could want and more, the log fire was perfect to come into after being in the hot tub. I have already recommended this cottage to friends and family and I hope to be back again soon. The little touches like towels and robes were spot on.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at High Brow cottage. The location is perfect with just cows as neighbours but still close enough to Pooley Bridge and other parts of the Lake District. The house was clean and comfortable & the views from the hot tub amazing! Would definitely recommend
