    “I chose The Gardener's Bothy from it's incredible pictures and the aptness of the name, being a gardener myself.”

    The place is stunning, beautiful setting and scenery, great facilities, so much storage that it's perfect for even the best over-packers, it really is a perfect home away from home. The team were fabulous at answering any questions we had before arriving and keep it all in brilliant condition. If you are looking for a good base to go out exploring the lakes, or even keep yourself dry and warm inside, then this is a spot to check out.

About the location

POOLEY BRIDGE

Penrith 6 miles.

The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. 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. 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. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
