Ghyll Foot - Cottage with a garden and parking in Patterdale
Ghyll Foot is part of a classic Lake District slate-built character cottage set in a secluded location at the foot of the majestic Place Fell near Ullswater. Handy for both the pubs and shops in Patterdale and Glenridding, and also the shores Ullswater, Ghyll Foot is a nature and outdoor activity lovers' dream bolthole. Ullswater is often described as the most beautiful of all the lakes, and Ghyll Foot is also on the doorstep of famous fells such as Helvellyn.
Set all on one level, Ghyll Foot is great for families, so everyone can have a taste of Lake District magic. It's just a few steps from the generous parking area directly into the combined lounge and dining area which enjoys views towards the fells. The comfy corner sofa has space for all and there is an additional easy chair and dining table for four.
Children of all ages are welcome and the combination of a double and twin bedroom make this a family friendly property (cot and high chair provided). The lack of stairs and level access from the parking area gives easy access to all areas of the property. The double bedroom has an en suite shower room, and the house bathroom has a bath with hand-held shower attachment.
Outside, there is a south-facing patio with garden furniture for a sundowner or al-fresco dining, a large sloping lawned garden and, of course, those wonderful views of some of the best Lake District scenery.
A holiday at Ghyll Foot will be memorable, whether you are keen to roam the fells, enjoy a cruise on Ullswater, or just kick back and relax in the most peaceful and stunning of settings.
