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).
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and an electric kettle.

A comfortable cottage perfectly located. Quiet and rural feeling yet accessible to Keswick. Ideal for walking the fells and also mooching the shops and restaurants in Keswick, Basecamp etc. The cottage was cosy and well equipped, perfect to come back to after a day out exploring.

Amazing cottage with the most spectacular views. The property itself was very well stocked with everything you may need for a relaxing stay; kitchen is perfect with plenty of crockery, pots and pans etc. The bedroom is so relaxing... had the best nights' sleep in the super comfy bed; and the lounge area too... very comfortable, warm and cosy with the most amazing views. We loved our stay at this cottage and did some wonderful walks locally. I can recommend the farm shop up the road... very tasty local produce; meat, cakes and lovely gifts too. All in all, this was a perfectly relaxing 3 day break, and we will definitely return.

Very clean inside and welcoming cottage. Lovely mountain few from the main cottage window and beautiful surrounding area.A possible suggestion though is to have a car port outside the cottage as our car got covered in bird poo during our 3 night stay due to where the parking facility is for the cottage.About 15 minutes drive away from Keswick which is very handy too. Would highly recommend The Kingfisher in Keswick if you like fish and chips! Delicious and very reasonably priced!

Lovely little cottage for our 4 nights stay, good heating and kitchen was well equipped (not that we did much cooking) and a good little selection of games and puzzles. Perfect spot, felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but only 20 mins from Keswick. Best thing was the view!
