Spacious Cottage with Large Living Room Area, 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms
Cragside Cottage is located on the site of a former, traditional, Lakeland hill farm, Greenah Crag, in the lee of a rocky outcrop from which it takes its name. A barn conversion, with open roof beams and part exposed stonework, the accommodation has been lovingly furnished by the owners. Balancing the traditions of the Lakeland setting with the modern facilities you would expect from a holiday cottage, Cragside is the ideal destination for couples, families and friends.
Overlooked by the peaks of Helvellyn, Skiddaw and Blencathra and in close proximity to gentler but equally beautiful lakesides, walking and climbing are available on the doorstep. Whatever your interests; biking, sailing, wildlife, natural history or simply relaxation, the area around Cragside is crammed with activities for all the family.
The cottage is lovely, spacious and comfortable (even for 6 adults) and we were able to go for some superb walks just by heading off over the fields from the farm. Holly - London
Located in a secluded but accessible location, Cragside Cottage is ideal for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley, North Pennines, Border Country and Hadrian's Wall. The M6 Motorway is 8 miles away, Keswick 10 miles away and Ullswater 6 miles away.
We stayed at Cragside Cottage and can only say positive things about the accommodation. The location was idyllic and extremely quiet and peaceful, whilst being convenient for several pubs for eating out. If eating out is not what you want the facilities for eating in are first class. This is a perfect place as a base for walking the northern fells or exploring the lakes. We will definitely go again and recommend it to our friends. Dave - Wigan
This property offers 2 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom and a bathroom (with bath and shower) on ground floor level. The first floor comprises of a large open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen (approx 11m x 5m).
We really did have a lovely time and liked the cottage very much! We were surprised by the spaciousness of the upper floor, we don't think your description or photos do justice to it! It really is a big selling point. Helena - Bedford
We had a lovely stay! The upstairs living room was excellent. Sitting at the dining table and watching the lambs was very sweet. Linda - Newcastle
The first floor includes an additional toilet/shower room. There is a south facing patio area to the rear of the property, ideal for BBQ's.
Facilities include an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezing compartment, dishwasher, washing machine and 32” colour TV with Freeview. All cooking utensils, kitchen equipment and bed linen are provided for guests.
The cottage has full oil-fired central heating and newly fitted carpets throughout. In summer 2010 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen were fitted, to further enhance the appearance of the already exceptionally equipped property.
Whatever the time of year, you will enjoy a stay at Cragside.
