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, DVD, 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 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 place to stay to relax or explore. I loved it and so did my Border Collie
Lovely Property with stunning views. The fully enclosed garden was great for relaxing with my Border Collie which I did most days after a nice long walk down the lane outside the bungalow. The location is good for exploring the Lake District but the main purpose of my visit was to relax and recharge and this was the ideal place too do so. I can highly recommend the property and will be definitively be visiting again.

Erikas cottage
We stayed here for three nights. The cottage is lovely and has everything you could need and more. Everything inside was lovely and clean. Only one downside was that the patio furniture is a bit worse for wear and could do with updating. Views are spectacular.
