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, DVD, 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.

Okay for a short stay
Fantastic location & views. Very basic which let it down. Not great when you travelled 4hrs on the road & not find any milk in fridge for a cup of tea. Lovely shower but all the mould let it down (even the fake plant was covered in mould). Tiny bath towels and no blind on window,Hole in fence has not been fixed but some broken chairs put in front which didn't take my dogs long to figure out & no outside light in garden so i had to use my phone torch to make sure they did not escape at night. It's a shame as this place could be exceptional if money was spent on it with a few homely touches & a welcome pack.

Beautiful Cottage, Just Lacking in Areas
Lovely location and property but we were left without many essentials. No soap, budget towels, 1 bin bag, 3 toilet rolls and minimal cooking equipment (no oil, lack of crockery, glasses etc) - to last the week. We made do and bought what we needed but were left thinking the place needed an uplift. Windows latches were on the way out, dishwasher leaking, extractor fan hadn't been connected up to ducting above the hob. A washer dryer would have been ideal too, we had to try and dry our clothes using the single rack near radiators which wasn't effective and left clothes smelling damp. (not good for moisture in the property but we had no alternative). It wouldn't take much to make this a 5* cottage with the beautiful location and facilities.

Nice property and wonderful views. Needs coffee machine and perhaps some milk on arrival. No toiletries provided. House standard and condition acceptable. We would book this again if in the area

The cottage is in a fabulous location. It’s a short drive to the shops in Keswick but wonderfully secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the town. If you want somewhere to truly escape you won’t find a better place. The powerful rain shower has plenty of hot water and there’s lots of room (not a tiny cubicle). A fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need to prepare meals. The views are incredible from the bedroom window when you wake in the morning. Heating is fully controllable, large TV with Netflix and other options to watch. It’s very dog friendly, check in was easy and Peter is the ultimate host. Highly recommend this place thank you for everything!

Lovely little cottage
Booked for a cosy retreat for my girlfriends 40th with the dog, lovely little cottage with everything you need, short drive to Keswick, Penrith and Ullswater, we'll hopefully stay again to explore more of the north lakes in the future. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Just arrived back today13th November after a 3 day break, absolutely delighted with my choice. Very accurately described which isn’t always the case with some properties. Looking at dates already to return. Not even worth looking for anything else after staying here. Owner very quick to respond as well

This cottage is far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to some great pubs and walks. Superbly presented and with everything you need for a great stay.

Relaxing Stay
Nice little property but could be better with a bit of TLC. There was a bit of black mould on some of the windows and in the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom just seemed to make noise and not do any extraction. Garden is 90% secure, but our JRT kept escaping in to the neighbouring property at the bottom right of the garden. There is some nylon netting but obviously no match for our dog. Overall a pleasant stay and would recommend and would stay again.
