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).

Lovely cottage, idea base for walking in the Lakes. We stayed in February, with snow on the ground. The view of Blencathra is stunning and the heating in the cottage made us feel very cosy.

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!

Fabulous location

The cottage was just perfect for me and my dog as a base in the eastern Lakes. The views of Blencathra from the sitting room & garden were magnificent. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and we thorough enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Great little cabin

The cabin is small but more than enough for 2 people. Never felt like it was a small property. Was very clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful views.
