Tucked away in one of the Lake District’s most historic and tranquil settings, this beautifully refurbished 18th-century cottage offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and location.

Positioned beside Wordsworth’s former home at Rydal Mount, the cottage sits at the very start of two of the area’s most iconic walks – the Coffin Route to Grasmere and the renowned Fairfield Horseshoe – making it an exceptional base for walkers and lovers of the outdoors.

Inside, the property has been thoughtfully restored to combine original charm with modern comfort. The cottage features one elegant double bedroom and a sunny and bright twin bedroom, two contemporary bathrooms, one being private en-suite. This makes it ideal for couples, friends, or small families seeking both comfort and privacy. The welcoming living space centres around a wood-burning stove, perfect for relaxing after a day on the fells, while the fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for easy dining. Outside, guests can enjoy both sun and shelter. To the rear, an enclosed and sheltered patio with outdoor furniture provides a private space for dining or unwinding, while the lawned front garden offers a peaceful spot to sit and take in the surrounding scenery. The quiet setting provides a true sense of escape, yet within moments from some of the Lake District’s most celebrated landscapes, with Grasmere and Ambleside close by. Whether you are setting out on a morning hike, exploring nearby villages, or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings steeped in literary history, this cottage offers a uniquely refined Lake District experience
