About this property

Dunkeld Cottage - ideal for touring the Lake District National Park! WiFi.

  • Dunkeld Cottage is a chocolate box style cottage in a gorgeous village setting - ideal for touring the Lake District! The cottage features stunning beams and original period features throughout, with everything thought of to make your stay a comfortable, relaxing one! The cottage dates back to 1820 and yet has been extremely well maintained and looked after - with all the mod cons! The kitchen/breakfast room is particularly lovely and has pretty views over the garden and is very spacious. All of the appliances you could need are here - including integral dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, slow cooker and of course a hob and double oven. There is a spacious and cosy lounge/dining room which features a lovely (ornamental) fireplace, beamed ceilings throughout, comfy sofas, smart TV (ideal for Netflix evenings!), super-fast WiFi, and a desk with leaflets on the local area and further seating. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, again, boasting glorious beams throughout and are very charming. The master bedroom features a kingsize bed and the second bedroom has twin beds which can also be pushed together to make a supering. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage for your clothes and personal items. There is also a bathroom with a bath - ideal for a bubbly soaking after a long Lake District walk! The garden is fully enclosed and private and there is plenty of room for you to bring your bikes - and probably anything else like a canoe etc.. - just ask us! We love the fact that Ullswater is around a 15 minute scenic drive from the cottage and our favourite day out is a day's walking along the Ullswater Way and combining it with a boat ride along the lake and something to eat in Pooley Bridge or Patterdale. However, equally, the Pennines are the backdrop of the cottage, and if you want to head away from the crowds that can sometimes gather in the summer, then a delightful stroll around Pennine country may be just what you need! Likewise, Keswick is only a relatively short, scenic drive away - we recommend a boat trip, a hike up the famous Cat Bells, followed by a pub lunch or dinner in the fantastic town centre. There's so much to do - you'll need to keep coming back to do more! :)
