“The location is lovely, you do get people walking past the sitting room window, but that’s ok.”

cottage has well stocked cupboards so no need to take any utensils along, garden is big and very good for dogs to run round in. bedrooms ample sized with a lot of wardrobe space. the bonus is the log fire really makes a difference when you come back from a long walk and light the fire - it really was blissful. we can’t wait to return. Thankyou.

Just spent our second Christmas at Ellwood and we had a lovely, relaxing time. The cottage is warm and cosy, well equipped, comfy and dog friendly. Great location for exploring the north, less touristy, lakes. Caldbeck is a pretty village with a good pub and small shop for the essentials. The dairy has set up a milk vending machine in the centre of the village with a milkshake station.....genius idea....the kids loved it!! We will definitely be back!!!

“The cottage was warm, comfortable and had everything you need.”

It’s in a great location and we visited Buttermere, Ennerdale, Castlerigg Circle and Derwent Water. One of the best walks though was a local one from Caldbeck to Sebergham through the woods and along the river - it was beautiful. The dogs enjoyed the garden and as it was secure we had piece of mind. We had a lovely stay.

This wonderful cottage is just what everyone who is looking for a peaceful dog friendly holiday home needs. The garden is perfect for your fur babies and a beautiful place to sit out. The attached barn/garage is an absolute god sent for wet coats and mucky boots leaving the house free of clutter and mess. The house itself if extremely well equipped and a lot bigger than it looks on the photos. Quirky and warm with a great log burner. Ideally located a very short walk into the village for the shop, pub, cafe and small craft shops. We absolutely loved our stay and because of the garden for the dogs we will definitely be booking again. All in all one of the best holiday cottages we have rented for our needs.

“Beautifully located cottage”

Ellwood House is situated in a beautiful village surrounded by stunning views. It has a pretty cottage garden which is safe for dogs and a pleasure to sit out in. The cottage itself has everything you could need and is very comfortable. The walks in the surrounding area are interesting and scenic. A fantastic cottage to relax at and to explore the lakes.

“Wonderful return visit”

This is our 3 or 4th time at Ellwood and we had a lovely time again. The cottage is well equipped, clean and spacious. As owners of two dogs the safety of them is of great importance to us. The rear garden is perfect and the lovely weather allowed us to enjoy it to the full on return from our walks. Hope to be back again very soon.

“Lovely house,lovely setting.”

Ellwood House is ideally situated just 5 mins from the centre of Caldbeck.Although on a road it's a minor road with little traffic other than the postman and the odd farm vehicle!It is spacious and well equipped.We found it had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay :) It is also very Dog friendly.The enclosed rear garden is perfect for dogs.We have a very clever Cocker Spaniel who failed to escape so I would say it's pretty secure!Beyond the garden is ample enclosed parking for a couple of cars.We had a LWB VW Van and had no problem turning it around in the parking area.There is also a LARGE garage to secure bikes/canoes or whatever outdoor equipment you may have.On the whole the house pretty much ticks all boxes for an active family holiday! Caldbeck is a nice little Cumbrian village that is not "touristy" like some others in the National Park.It has a very relaxing vibe about it.The local pub is both friendly and serves excellent quality food.Plenty of nice family friendly walking from the village and plenty of maps/guides in the house. We will definitely be back!!

“Cosy cottage in the countryside!”

We stayed in this cottage with my boyfriend at the beginning of December and we loved it. We enjoyed having Christmas decorations and sitting by the fire every evenings. It is very easy to start walks from the cottage as it is in the middle of the country side. The town of Caldbeck has all necessary to spend a few relaxing days in the mountain. There are pubs with local amazing food, grocery shops with local products, cafe/tea shops and a cute little shop with handcraft items. We could enjoy the landscapes and sunrise, we even saw the wild ponies that live near the cottage! Coming from Spain, this was a unique experience and highly recommend to everyone who loves the countryside and nature

“A tastefully appointed cosy cottage in an idyllic northern village.”

Ellwood House is situated in the beautiful Lake District village of Caldbeck. The village sits in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and bubbling rivers and seems to have survived the less attractive attempts at new building development.. The village retains its rural charm and old-world mystique. It also boasts a wealth of village amenities like a pub, a church, a village shop and hairdressers. The Old Crown at Hesket New Market, a couple of miles away, is well worth a visit as it has its own brewery and gives you a flavour for local life. The house has everything that you need and all the appliances are in good condition. The living space is very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a mixture of old and new and plenty of books if you have forgotten to bring one. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of cupboard space to store things away, We had a wonderful stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

“Perfect!!”

Really enjoyed our stay here, the cottage itself is very charming and also we’ll equipped. The location itself is ideal, there is a local pub in the village that serves good food and good beer and also a cafe, tearoom, post office and general store. Only 15 min drive to wigton where there is a decent sized supermarket and a number of shops. 25 min drive to penrith and is in easy access of most of the lakes being between 15-60 min drive away. Would definitely recommend and will also allow dogs. Thankyou

“Great place for stay with dog!”

Stayed over May bank holiday with our dog. Wonderful fenced in garden with a table for 6 outside to enjoy al fresco dining as the garden gets the sun until early evening. Ample parking at the back of the property, easily fit 3 cars. The house was clean & spacious with a lovely log burning stove (logs provided). Kitchen, which is about to be upgraded, had dishwasher, microwave, electric stove, toaster and plenty of crockery. Location is great, quiet yet with easy access to the village and fells. Would definitely return and recommend if travelling with pets.

“Just what we needed!”

We recently spent a week in Ellwood House and had a thoroughly lovely stay. The house was clean, tidy and very homely with the beautiful log burner. We were amazed at how well stocked the kitchen was including cleaning products, tea, coffee, milk and some rather delicious biscuits. All this and plenty of fuel for the log burner. We will most certainly be visiting the property again as it's location was perfect for our family with plenty of parking, beautiful enclosed (great for the dog) garden with patio and BBQ. I have never met such friendly people as the people in the pub and village shop which may I add has everything you could possibly need. The proprietors of Ellwood House were amazing, we managed to leave something behind but they returned it to us in a very timely manner. They couldn't do enough for us. Wonderful, can't wait to do it again when the weather picks up.

About the location

CALDBECK

Wigton 7.5 miles; Carlisle 12 miles; Keswick 16 miles; Cockermouth 17 miles.

The charming Cumbrian village of Caldbeck is situated on the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful moorland and fells. It’s a classic stone built village with a church, pub, village green and duck pond. The church dates back to the 12th century and is famous for being the resting place of the renowned huntsman John Peel. Although in every sense a ‘traditional working village’, the local craft centre at Priest Mill and the walks to the Howk gorge and 19th Century Bobbin Mill, draw visitors to Caldbeck. The village is an ideal base for the northern Lakes, the market town of Keswick, as well as Lakes Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The natural beauty of the Solway coast, well-known for its golf courses and the town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth are close by, whilst also within driving distance is the cathedral city of Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders.

If you require the super king double to me made into a twin - please advise at the time of booking.
