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).

Brilliant little cottage.

Small but perfectly formed. Lovely location and space of stay will likely book again. Only gripe was the mattress was not particularly brilliant but otherwise the cottage was perfect for us. I’d recommend to couples or small families anytime.

Lovely cottage in a great location

Cosy cottage with a great fenced off garden for the dogs. Great views and great location. Everything you need is there and the farm shop up the road is great. Lovely pub just down the road too though they were closed when we planned to visit. Will definitely stay here again. Check in and out was very simple.

Perfect accommodation for two

Stayed for a long weekend; perfect location and great amenities. We were luckily enough to see a red squirrel! The crows were a little annoying but very little you can do about that, they must have been nesting so we had our very own personal early alarm call! Would reccommend the cottage and would definitely go back if visiting the region again. Only thing to mention would be the mould that was starting to develop on the bathroom ceiling.

Lovely cottage in beautiful location

The cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with modern kitchen & bathroom, a comfy sofa and bed and beautiful views. It is tucked away in a peaceful location but only a short drive from Derwent Water and Ullswater so there’s plenty to see and do nearby. The secure garden was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage to couples / singles who want a peaceful location.

Lovely cottage in perfect location

Whilst the cottage is small it has everything that a couple and a dog could need. Lovely and clean, well appointed, fantastic shower and a view to die for. Could not have asked for more. Would not be suitable for someone without a car.
