2 Bedroom Cottage in Watermillock

Sitting above Ullswater you are positioned directly on the famous Ullswater Way, the property is a dream base for walkers, cyclists and outdoor lovers. Step outside, lace up your boots, and join the footpath from your doorstep with many hikes and wanders straight from the door. Ullswater lake is just a five-minute drive away, where you can enjoy lakeside walks, wild swims, kayaking, sailing on the famous Ullswater steamer or simply soaking in the scenery in a relaxing, peaceful, staycation. You’ll be just 5 minutes’ walk from Ullswater lake, two traditional country pubs within a 10-minute walk, 5 minutes’ drive from the charming village of Pooley Bridge and 15 minutes from the M6, making arrival easy while still feeling wonderfully rural.


Set on a traditional Herdwick sheep farm in the heart of the Lake District, this beautifully converted barn sleeps four guests in two stylish double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and offers an unforgettable stay overlooking the Ullswater valley. Inside, the barn blends rustic character with modern comfort. Original beams and vaulted ceilings sit alongside contemporary furnishings, creating a warm yet luxurious atmosphere. The open-plan living space is designed for relaxing after a day on the fells, whilst the large barn window frames sweeping views of the valley. The mezzanine provides another cosy sitting area up in the eaves. The barn is perfect for couples, friends, or a small family. We’re also proudly dog friendly, so your four-legged companion can enjoy the adventure too. Here you will find peace and an opportunity to relax and unwind from fast pace living. After a comfortable night's sleep with only the stars to lighten the night you will be woken each morning by the sound of sheep and lambs gently bleating and a cacophony of beautiful bird song. Whether you’re looking for a walking holiday, a romantic break or a peaceful countryside escape on a working farm surrounded by iconic Herdwick sheep, this barn offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.


Outside, in the pretty courtyard garden, a perfect sun trap, or for unwinding under the stars — an ideal spot to relax tired legs after exploring the Lakes.
