    “This is an excellent cottage for a getaway.”

    Nicely out of the way and gives you the opportunity to avoid the bustle of the bigger towns whilst being close enough to both Keswick and Penrith to be able to easily take advantage of the facilities. We had a minor issue with the cottage heating not working initially, but the owner contacted an engineer and it was up and running again within a couple of hours. Fantastic service - can't ask for better. As others have commented, you can just about hear people in the above accommodation ...

    Nicely out of the way and gives you the opportunity to avoid the bustle of the bigger towns whilst being close enough to both Keswick and Penrith to be able to easily take advantage of the facilities. We had a minor issue with the cottage heating not working initially, but the owner contacted an engineer and it was up and running again within a couple of hours. Fantastic service - can't ask for better. As others have commented, you can just about hear people in the above accommodation moving around, but if that keeps you awake at night, you're either a very light sleeper or the upstairs guests are grey with big ears and have recently flown in from the Savanna. The cottage is well equipped and the dishwasher was a pleasant surprise. Very comfortable bed (although this is always going to be a personal preference) and nice furnishings. The log burner was toasty on the wet February evenings. Would definitely sent it again!

    Thankyou for this lovely review. We also appreciate the fact that it is quiet and yet also very easy to get to other places. We hope that you're able to stay again some time. Thankyou. Property Owner

The property

Glen Cottage is a spacious ground-floor cottage nestled within a traditional stone-built barn, boasting idyllic views of the distant fells, luscious countryside and a walled garden. Rated Four Star Gold by Visit Britain, this cottage has a gorgeous sun lounge area where you can kick back with peaceful views of the Dodds, as your pets run free around the large fenced field. Settle in for an evening inside the sitting room, boasting traditional oak beam ceilings, and a toasty woodburning stove, a homely spot to curl up with a good book or escape reality during a family film night. Show off your culinary skills in the amply-equipped kitchen, featuring an oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and wide range of crockery and utensils. End your day relaxing in soothing hot waters from the contemporary shower room, before heading down a few steps into the glorious king-size bedroom. Enjoy a refreshing pint in the local pub nearby when you fancy an evening away from the kitchen, soaking up the peaceful surroundings among the quiet village of Troutbeck. The fields around usually have sheep or ponies and a wide variety of birds visit the feeders outside the sun lounge, whilst the chickens provide delicious fresh eggs and are always entertaining to watch as they explore their large grassy pen looking for a tasty treat, or running to meet visitors. The cottage is close to Ullswater and Keswick, yet away from traffic in an idyllic location for walkers and cyclists exploring the Northern Lakes or to simply relax and enjoy the scenery. Choose Glen Cottage for your romantic retreat to the Lake District. Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 1066761, together sleeping 10 guests.
