2 Bedroom Cottage in Troutbeck

This light and airy Lake District cottage sits between the market towns of Penrith and Keswick (both within 9 miles), offering a splendid base for couples and small families planning days of national park adventures together. The two nearby towns beckon with their generous offerings of traditional pubs, restaurants and independent shops, while pretty Ullswater (7 miles) is ideal for water sports, lake cruises, and walks to the famous Aira Force waterfall. For fun family days out, Rookin House Activity Centre is just 1.5 miles away and offers activities for all ages, from horse riding and archery to assault courses and fishing. Other national park attractions include the Lake District Wildlife Park and the Lakes Distillery (both within 17 miles). Walkers are spoilt with dramatic trails from the doorstep, while further afield, ramblers should head to scenic Sharp Edge on Blencathra or Striding Edge on Helvellyn (both within 9 miles).


Step into the property to uncover a blend of original cottage features and modern comforts all spread across a reverse-level layout. The ground floor plays host to two restful bedrooms: a master king-size room with views of Blencathra and access to a Jack and Jill shower room, plus a pretty twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the open-plan living space is soaked in natural light and combines a well-appointed kitchen with a dining space and inviting lounge. Gather in the lounge after days of outdoor adventure together; sink into the soft seating and catch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When stomachs rumble, find all you need in the kitchen to cook up a Cumbrian feast, then dine at the sleek breakfast bar as you plan tomorrow’s adventures.


While the property offers no outdoor space, guests are spoiled with trails and open spaces in the immediate area – perfect for morning walks and post-dinner strolls with the dogs in tow. Another benefit is the on-site pub/restaurant which beckons on those evenings you don’t fancy cooking. Guests will also find private parking for up to two cars.
