“The plumbing is very noisy.”

Taking a shower is quite loud. Lovely well equipped house. The views and lakes were stunning. It’s quiet. Not really a garden but what there was was secure for the dogs and there were good walks.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Horrockwood.”

It’s in the perfect location for exploring the lakes- a rural setting surrounded by fields but right in the heart of everything with pubs, restaurants and plenty of walks very close by. But the main attraction is the view of the lake from every room in the house which is just stunning. We felt very privileged waking up each morning in such a lovely spot. The house itself is plenty big enough for a group of up to 8. The garden area is enclosed which was great for our dog. The house is also well equipped save for a few extra bin liners and toilet rolls which would have been handy. There’s even a good quality high chair which was great.

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The house is very spacious with beautiful views. The main living room area in particular was great and the kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor space was also a bonus. The heating did not work on our first day which was not ideal on a cold night but it was fixed on our second day. Some more info e.g. on the local area and on recycling would be helpful.

“Lovely quiet property.”

Upstairs was nice and hot with nice decor. Downstairs was a bit more lived in and took a while heating up, perfectly fine though. Wifi stopped on the last couple of days, very stormy. We would stay her again, lovely area.

“I wish we owned that house.”

.. absolute perfection, felt at home immediately, wonderful balance of history and modernity. The view from every front window was incredible I could have sat in the chair in the dining room forever. Really magical.

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.
