2 Gowbarrow Cottages - Lovely garden & Dog-friendly
Situated on the northern shores of Ullswater in the hamlet of Watermillock, No 2 Gowbarrow Cottages is one of three stone-built cottages dating back to 1922. They were formally used as accommodation for staff working at the nearby Leeming House (now a hotel). Each has a pretty garden to the front, which offers great views of the fells.
This mid-terrace cottage spans two floors. The ground floor comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and a wood-burning fire. The kitchen has modern appliances, including an electric oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.
The living room is a separate room accessible from the kitchen and dining area. It comprises comfy sofas, lamps, a Freeview Smart TV with streaming services and views of the garden and the fells beyond.
Upstairs are the three bedrooms: a king-size double bedroom and two twin bedrooms. The bathroom has a large bath, perfect for relaxing after a day out walking, a shower over, a toilet basin and a heated towel rail.
There is lots to do in the Ullswater area; nearby is Aira Force, a special series of waterfalls accessed via a walking trail that continues to Gowbarrow Fell. On the lakeshore is Airaforce Jetty; from here, you can hop in board one of the Ullswater Steamers and sail north to Pooley Bridge, where you'll find a great choice of pubs, cafes, and a few shops, or south to Glenridding, which also offers a good choice of places to eat.
Penrith and Keswick are within easy reach if you fancy exploring further afield. These are much larger towns; here you will find many shops, restaurants, and supermarkets.
Overall, Gowbarrow Cottages offers great accommodation in a fantastic location! This property can be rented alongside No 3 Gowbarrow Cottages, located next door and sleeping six guests - perfect for a holiday with friends or family while maintaining an element of privacy.
