About this cottage rental

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).

This property is ideally located to explore Keswick and surrounding area. For the two of us plus a dog the outdoor space is always important and the garden is perfect and enclosed.The cottage really has everything you need plus an amazing farm shop nearby. Local pub in Threlkeld is handy for meals.Personally though it is the view onto the hills which is just stunning and easy access to some great walks which sells it for me. Beside the cottage is a small wood so whichever window you look out of nature is all around and this is why we will return again.

The view from the living room was amazing topped only by the frequent sightings of red squirrels running past the window. It was very quiet and secluded. The only minor quibbles were finding anything on the tv (I think the aerial cable needs replacing and we couldn't get Prime or Netflix at all) and the heating control which seemed to have a mind of its own

Let’s start with the doors front door locks a bit iffy Bathroom door Ned’s catch adjusting and also the bedroom door the cupboard in the bedroom door doesn’t close properly the open plan door is bent like a banana so that never closed properly The bathroom looks great in the photos until you get there and see that the wall panels must of been fitted by Stevie wonder The kitchen draw with the cutlery in catches on the door for the washer The cooker hood is very low I hit my head a few times (6ft 2in) When you enter the open plan front room door their is a wall lamp exactly at head height so I kept hitting that Wall panelling in the bedroom near to the headboard is hanging off The kettle is dangerous when it’s boiled steam comes out the top of the handle (not the lid) and I got burnt It’s a lovely place just very neglected and needs those silly little jobs sorting out OH AND DO NOT PARK AT THE FRONT DOOR OR YOU GET SHAT ON BY WHAT LOOKED LIKE EVERY BIRD IN A 5 MILE RADIUS ONE GOOD THING IS YOU CANNOT BEAT THE VIEW OUT THE FRONT WINDOW ITS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT The step/log/hazard into the grassed area of the garden is a disaster waiting to happen it needs proper steps
