About this cottage rental
This unique, characterful property has been thoughtfully designed to make the best use of space available and is Grade 2 listed. It lies in a picturesque setting and results in a charming cottage with a wealth of interesting and original features – panelled wood doors and wardrobe and Stuart beams. The holiday home boasts a reading/dressing room, a log burner, beautifully dressed windows with stylish fabrics and accessories. Original Lakeland slate flooring and exposed oak beams, with contemporary oak flooring upstairs. The view of local fells can be seen from the southern kitchen and bedroom windows, tempting for walkers. Guests can simply park up for the week and enjoy the lakes on foot. The cottage has walks straight from the door, along with breathtaking lake and mountain scenery. This cosy village cottage is designed for two. Note: No children allowed, including infants or smoking, but dogs may be considered. Shop (Spar), ATM, garage and gastro pub 50 metres away.
The cottage was built by 1690 and was originally part of the Coaching House, now Traditional Grade II Listed, and stables on the main Windermere route.
Outstanding, circular walk from the cottage to Troutbeck; after a visit to the National Trust Townend Hall, have a drink at The Mortal Man then follow old tracks and footpaths up to the top of Wansfell, for outstanding views over Windermere and Ambleside.

We enjoyed our stay, very clean property and comfortable and ideally situated. Although we found the property chilly and the heating and appliances frustrating to use.

Lovely little cottage, handy to have buses on doorstep so no real need for the car. Perfect for one or a couple.

This is a very characterful cottage - the main living area is nicely furnished, and it has a good bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is tiny, which I was expecting. But the equipment in the kitchen is also very 'tired'. The oven is so old that the markings have worn off the knobs so it required complete guesswork to judge temperature, or the mode of the oven. I used it once and burnt what I was cooking. The interior of the oven is dirty and the door seal falling off. The switch on the kettle is also broken and fell off on my first night. The microwave oven is old, so more guesswork to judge the power settings. The kitchen as a whole wasn't that clean; I had to wash a few things when I arrived, including the cutlery tray in the drawer, which was grubby.
