“We love Robin Cottage and have stayed many times.”

Can’t give the higher ratings this time, as the heating was off when we arrived, dead flies all over the landing and several weeks post on the floor. The original cleaning was very good, but that was obviously a few weeks ago and nobody had been back before we arrived.

“This was our 4th stay at Robin Cottage and we just love it.”

The property is really special and in a lovely location.It’s far too big for just two of us, but we will book again for next year, because we just love staying there.

The property

This fabulous Lakeland farmhouse in the Troutbeck Valley has been recreated as a luxurious 4 star retreat, with the most enchanting original features remaining. Thick stone walls, open fires and original stone flagged floors blend tastefully with modern facilities and creature comforts. Robin Cottage is perfectly arranged for sociable gatherings; with a fire-warmed dining room for lingering family meals as well as the fine country kitchen for hearty breakfasts. Spend the sunnier days al-fresco in the large enclosed garden, a haven for kids. The two king-size bedroom suites are a treat, with views to match, and further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for friends, family or walking groups. Only a stroll away from an excellent pub serving hearty meals and local ale. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 3 cars.

There are many walks to enjoy in the area, ranging from a leisurely stroll around Brotherswater to an exciting trek on the Wansfell Ridge. Whatever you get up to, you'll be tempted by a meal or a pint of real Lakeland ale at the Mortal Man Inn in Troutbeck - one of the best country pubs in the Lake District. Despite the air of seclusion, you only need travel a few miles to reach Windermere - with shops, Booths supermarket, cafes and restaurants on offer. There are plenty of family attractions only a few miles further away in Bowness village, including the World of Beatrix Potter attraction, lake shore mini golf, cinema, the 'Old Laundry Theatre' and Windermere Golf Club. Follow the A591 north and you'll reach Ambleside on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. This cosmopolitan village is great for shopping, offers several acclaimed Lake District restaurants such as The Glass House, and also offers Windermere Lake Cruises from Waterhead Pier. Continue on the A591 to Rydal Water and historic Grasmere. It couldn't be easier to explore!

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.
