    “We have just arrived home after 3 nights in this wonderful house, I personally holiday frequently in the lakes, usually in a caravan with the kids in tow!”

    This was for a special occasion shared with friends so to find this house was perfect, the location is absolutely second to none with views out of most windows of the Lake, we were paddleboarding on Ullswater Saturday morning, having dinner in the restaurant at Another Place just down the road, Alpaca trekking around Derwent water and having Sunday lunch at the Ullswater Inn in Glenridding.

    This was for a special occasion shared with friends so to find this house was perfect, the location is absolutely second to none with views out of most windows of the Lake, we were paddleboarding on Ullswater Saturday morning, having dinner in the restaurant at Another Place just down the road, Alpaca trekking around Derwent water and having Sunday lunch at the Ullswater Inn in Glenridding. The house itself had huge amounts of space, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, the beds and bedding were the most comfiest and luxurious I’ve ever slept on! The kitchen is a huge WOW with everything you could possible need for a relaxing weekend away. I could honestly type for ages about how much of a lovely stay we had, thank you so much. We cannot wait to stay again and I’ll be telling all my friends and family about it.

About the location

WATERMILLOCK

Pooley Bridge 2.5 miles; Glenridding 6.2 miles; Penrith 8.5 miles.

The elevated scattered village of Watermillock runs parallel to the main road alongside Ullswater Lake and is mainly a farming community. Just 2.5 miles away is Pooley Bridge with its array of amenities which sits on the northern shore of the lake in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley originated due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. Glenridding (meaning glen overgrown with bracken) is a small tourist village with a range of local shops, cafes and restaurants. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Watermillock is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
