Detatched, Cosy Cottage With Mountain Views - Parking, Sleeps 8, Pet-friendly

Built in the 1920s by the artist and embroiderer Ann Macbeth, High Bield is a remarkable house which was completely refurbished a few years ago. It was built high on the fell and takes in views of Brotherswater and Ullswater and offers walking from the door to High St, Helvellyn, St Sunday Crag, Fairfield and many other popular spots. Almost every room has a spectacular view, especially the twin room which was originally an artist's studio. The house oozes charm and is very comfortable and warm, with a woodburner in the sitting room.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The location of the house and the views were absolutely amazing - and from a group of walkers who have had many years spending time in the Lakes it was the best that we have stayed as a group.The house as well was really cosy, was clean and fresh, had loads of character, and history, which we enjoyed reading up about. And it was great to see some references and touches around the house in a nod to its past. The track leading up was not as bad as we had thought that it would be, but a really lower car, may have a an issue in a few places with a few lumps and bumps. Once we were there though, we didn't have to drive again as the footpaths run right past the property, and the walking in this area is great.

We loved our stay at High Bield. We love the house. We felt it wasn't as clean as the last time we stayed but this didnt spoil our enjoyment. Our dog Nell loved the garden. She would go and find sticks to chew. The two young boys enjoyed exploring the garden as well and loved seeing the frog sporn in the pond. The best part is the views in the morning-wow. We hope to be back next year

We had a lovely stay at this lovely house. We found the house very welcoming and it even had a Xmas tree and decorations up. The kitchen was very well stocked. We all found the beds comfortable. The route up to the house is not for the faint hearted but worth it once you arrive at the property. Thank you for a wonderful stay

A wonderful place to stay for a family holiday in the Lakes. Not easy to drive to so good for people who want to do lots of walks and exploring in the area. There is a beautiful waterfall only about 15 mins walk from the house. We also went swimming in Brotherswater. The view from the house was amazing and the house itself was very well equipped with plenty of games and books available.

This is such a special place to stay. Views are absolutely stunning and the house is delightful. Loved the bedrooms. But if you're used to wide, flat Western Australian roads like we are, just be aware the drive up is not for the fainthearted! Wished we had longer to stay, would definitely come back if we had the opportunity, this was our favourite of all the places we stayed in the UK.

Lovely cottage full of character with truly amazing views which we all enjoyed although we were not blessed with good weather throughout. The cottage is well equipped so even when the weather isn't so good there's still plenty to enjoy. Husband and friends enjoyed several walks from the property. Getting up the drive in the car the first time was a bit scary so easier just to leave it parked as walking is definitely easier.

We had a great stay, big enough to not feel cramped, clean, warm, fantastic view and we saw red squirrels every morning! Very narrow steep drive so would bring a car with decent ground clearance to not hit the bash plate when driving over the water drain

Fantastic break in a lovely home

We had an amazing mini break. The house was warm and homely with plenty of space for us and 5 kids and all the amenities we needed. The drive up the track was a bit challenging but the location was worth it, the views from the garden and windows are amazing. It was awesome starting each day watching the birds and squirrels in the garden. After long walks it was nice to sit around playing some of the many board games and checking out the impressive collection of books. The log burner was nice to have but the house was warm enough so we didn’t need to use it. As a base we found it very convenient and were able to explore all over the Lake District without ever having to travel too far. The host was friendly and very accommodating. We had a great time and would love to come and stay again.
