    “A great stay in a great, well equipped cottage.”

    Plenty of wood provided for the fire, not that we used it as it was very warm and cosy within. Kitchen is well equipped and a nice welcome pack provided upon arrival is a nice touch. My only, critique, and it's been mentioned previously in other reviews, is the beds, particularly the double bed is totally knackered and desperately needs replacing, along with the pillows. A shame really, as it's a quick and easy fix, but left me with significant back and neck pain, which is not something I ...

    Plenty of wood provided for the fire, not that we used it as it was very warm and cosy within. Kitchen is well equipped and a nice welcome pack provided upon arrival is a nice touch. My only, critique, and it's been mentioned previously in other reviews, is the beds, particularly the double bed is totally knackered and desperately needs replacing, along with the pillows. A shame really, as it's a quick and easy fix, but left me with significant back and neck pain, which is not something I suffer with at home. A replacement bed would see me booking again, but unless it's changed, then unfortunately I wouldn't stay again, a real shame as I holiday in Troutbeck at least three times a year.

Location For a true escape from the daily grind, the Troutbeck Valley is an unrivalled location for a cottage holiday in the Lake District.At the start of the dramatic Kirkstone Pass, the valley is a haven of peaceful grazing land, scattered rural homes and pretty woodlands.

Surrounded by walks in the Lakeland Fells, the Troutbeck Valley is also a favourite with photographers - you'll understand why when you experience the scenery! The village of Troutbeck, nestled nearby in the valley, has the excellent Mortal Man pub, renowned for their mouthwatering menus, locally sourced where possible and accompanied by real Lakeland ales - perfect for a special occasion or simply to refuel after a long day on the fells. From Troutbeck, the Kirkstone Pass leads north to Ullswater or, a short distance south, to Windermere and Bowness.

So, despite the blissful seclusion of your Lake District country cottage, you'll never be too far from a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and of course the rare treat of a lake cruise on one of these famous lakes.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

TROUTBECK

Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.

The garden for Butt Hill extends only from the rear of the car port and to the left.
