  • Wendy

    “Just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Lake District- Hodge Howe House was in a lovely location, surrounded by woodland.”

    It was extremely peaceful. The house was well equipped and spotlessly clean- perfect for a family of 6. Would definitely recommend.

The property

A charming, semi‑detached Lakeland cottage dating back to 1905, 1 Hodge Howe Cottages offers comfortable and characterful accommodation in a peaceful woodland setting, just outside Troutbeck Bridge.

Surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife, it provides a tranquil retreat while remaining well placed for Lake Windermere, Ambleside, and the wider Lake District.

Set within over an acre of private woodland grounds, 1 Hodge Howe Cottages is a traditional semi‑detached stone cottage, thoughtfully updated to provide a high standard of comfort all year round.

The property is located within woodland surroundings but is part of a private estate, and the surrounding land is not for exclusive guest use.

Inside, the cottage retains plenty of original character, including exposed beams and a feature fireplace in the welcoming sitting room.

Comfortable seating and a multi‑fuel stove make this an ideal space to relax after a day exploring the fells, while the Freeview TV, DVD player, Hi‑Fi and Wi-Fi ensure homely comforts throughout your stay.

The well‑equipped kitchen includes an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, making self‑catering straightforward and stress‑free.

Meals can be enjoyed in the beautifully light dining room, featuring floor‑to‑ceiling windows, interesting rooflines and doors opening onto the courtyard garden.
