The bedrooms and bathroom are on the ground floor, which leaves the entire first floor for the open-plan living room, kitchen and dining room, which is a great space to spend time with your family and friends.

With free access to England’s only true mountain forest, rising 1000ft above sea level, it provides a range of activities for all ages, from forest mountain trails to the high rope adventure course, Go Ape, and an excellent play area and Gruffalo Trail specifically for younger children.

A beautiful and very comfortable cottage in a very quiet location near to Buttermere and Whinlatter Forest. The cottage was very well equipped and are a day on the fells was a warm and cosy place to come back to.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2019
Need a car as the cottage is remote. Very cold on arrival maybe heating could be switched on prior to arrival.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2019
Lovely location in a picturesque village on the quiet western side of the Lakes. Easy drive to Cockermouth or Keswick for shopping and other amenities. (Though there is also an excellent village shop). We were there during a very busy, and unusually sunny, bank holiday, but were able to walk from the cottage straight up onto hills, and didn't see any other walkers. The cottage is small but very well equipped.
