Set in the countryside on a traditional working farm, this area offers some of the most wonderful landscapes in the region from the privacy of a secluded rural setting. It is minutes from Lake Ullswater, with its walking, water sports and ponderous steamers making their regal-like journeys up and down the lake in the shadow of the majestic fells. This area offers many forms of recreation, whatever season you choose to visit. All three cottages have been tastefully converted from original old stone farm buildings; and wherever possible the original features have been retained. Old pitch pine beams stretch unhindered through bedrooms and across stairways and the local slate and sandstone are in evidence throughout. Guests are welcomed with fresh flowers, along with well furnished comfortable holiday accommodation, wood-burning stoves and well-equipped kitchens. For good walking, fells nearby include High Street range, 1 mile, and Helvellyn, 10 miles. The market town of Penrith, 5 miles; whilst the attractions of Keswick are 14 miles.

What a lovely relaxing place to stay. Great location for Pooley Bridge and Ullswater Lake. Owners were very helpful and kind but would leave you to your own space. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Lovely relaxing holiday down on the farm.
Lovely relaxing holiday down on the farm. Amanda & Nigel were really welcoming and friendly. There were coffee/tea biscuits and milk on arrival which were much appreciated. Lovely walks straight from the door over the field and Moor to Pooley Bridge with its pretty and cosy tearooms & shops. Accommodation was warm and cosy with comfy beds. We did have a power cut, but if you're in the countryside it is quite usual during bad weather. There was a dog bath/shower with lots of warm water, also a kennel to leave dog for a few hours to visit local restaurants, if necessary.

A beautiful cottage that is fabulously equipped and spotlessly clean.
A beautiful cottage that is fabulously equipped and spotlessly clean. As we love to walk the Northeastern Fells this cottage is perfectly placed for that. Fabulous views from the cottage looking out over Mill Moor and surrounding fells that make you feel so relaxed and calm which makes for a wonderfully chilled break away.

Lovely character cottage.
Lovely character cottage. Access to nearby Pooley Bridge is a little hairy walking on country roads with no footpaths particularly at night. The footpaths to the village across fields is ok if your happy to be inspected closely by cows!

Great place to stay.
Great place to stay. It was comfortable and homely and we did a lot of walking and sightseeing. However, had we known that the road at Pooley Bridge was closed, we wouldn’t have booked as it meant a long diversion .

A lovely cottage just outside of Pooley Bridge.
A lovely cottage just outside of Pooley Bridge. It is a short walk from the river, and only a 15 minute or so walk into the town. It is very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable sofas and bed, and all the equipment you expect. The only comments I would make are to note that towels are not included by default, and the shower doesn’t have a screen, so if you prefer showers to baths, you just need to be a little careful not to soak the room. They are minor points for information only. Not whiney complaints.

The barn was small but comfort
We stayed for a week and were welcomed with a lovely homemade cake!
The barn was small but comfortable with everything we needed to cater for young children. But you need to bring your own towels.
It was about a 15 mins walk to Pooley bridge through fields, so not pram friendly etc.
Pooley bridge is a fantastic location for exploring the lakes and if you have children definately recommend Lowther Castle & Acorn Bank (NT).
The barn owners were very friendly and we loved the bulls & cows that lived there too. All in all a lovely stay.

We had a lovely quiet break here. A great walk across fields to the village amenities and lake. Ullswater is a perfect location for a family holiday. Cottage rustic and cosy, hosts welcoming and kids loved being on a farm.

Super cosy cottage in excellent location with short walk to local village and lake. Lovely to wake up on a farm with fantastic views. Great location for exploring the lake district. Only improvement would be to mount shower on wall with screen if possible
