A small hamlet set against the backdrop of three beautiful lakes, Buttermere is a prime location for a Lake District staycation. Buttermere cottages offer the perfect location for a tranquil Lakes break.

Why choose a Buttermere holiday cottage?

The beautiful hamlet of Buttermere can easily lay claim to being one of the prettiest locations in the Lake District. Situated in the Buttermere Valley on the western side of the Lake District National Park, the area is surrounded by dramatic fells and mountains at every turn.

Buttermere accommodation places you on the doorstep of everything there is to love about the Lake District; breath-taking scenery and exciting outdoor adventures. Book a holiday cottage in Buttermere, and you’ll be an easy distance from three stunning lakes; Buttermere, Crummock Water, and Loweswater.

 If you enjoy a spot of fishing, then a Buttermere cottage is a great fit, as Buttermere Lake is home to brown trout, rainbow trout, and perch. You can explore the lake at your own pace in a hired boat, setting off from the National Trust car park.

Places to visit from a Buttermere self-catering cottage

Buttermere accommodation serves as a gateway to plenty of the most popular Lake District attractions and picturesque locations.

The bustling market town of Keswick lies just a 30-minute drive away from Buttermere. The town lies on the edge of the serene lake, Derwentwater. Once you’ve explored the beautiful lakes surrounding Buttermere, head here for more boating, walking, and views of the fells.

Why not embark on a challenge during your Buttermere cottage holiday? Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England and one third of the Three Peaks Challenge, is just around the corner. Drive 20 minutes from Buttermere to the Seathwaite start point and begin the 6-hour long adventure.

A stone’s throw away is the village of Borrowdale, in the Borrowdale Valley. This little area unveils a haven for hikers with plenty of trails winding through lush forests, leading to fantastic viewpoints like Castle Crag.

Discover more natural beauty at Scale Force Waterfall and Moss Force Waterfall. The former is the highest waterfall in the Lake District and is a must-visit. It’s reached via a scenic hike through Newlands Valley.

From your base in Buttermere, explore the dramatic landscapes of Wasdale, home to Wastwater and Scafell Pike, and visit Whitehaven, a historic harbour town rich in Georgian charm and maritime heritage.

For any literary lovers, visit the village of Grasmere. Grasmere is the home of Dove Cottage, the former residence of William Wordsworth. Wander the areas that inspired his verses and explore the quaint village shops and eateries. Don’t forget to get some famous Grasmere Gingerbread while you’re there!

Types of Buttermere self-catering accommodation

Ensure you pick the Buttermere cottage that’s right for you. If you’re travelling with your pet pal, be sure to browse the Buttermere dog-friendly accommodation in the Lakes.

Book a Lake District cottage with a hot tub and soothe any aches and pains from your epic walks and hikes, or stay in a cottage with a fire so you can cosy up in the evening.

If time isn’t on your side and you only have a weekend or a few days to spare, book a Lake District short break and hit the refresh button in the beautiful Cumbrian countryside.
