    “Beautiful cottage with stunning views.”

    Very comfortable but a little chilly on a couple of evenings even though the radiators were full on. Would have been nice if the owners had left a couple of logs and kindling for the burner. However really enjoyed our 3 nights and would love to return.

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Boxwood. and would consider a return visit. The downstairs radiators have now been replaced as part of a refurbishment programme, so we would expect an improvement in comfort levels in the lounge and kitchen area. We have considered providing logs for guests use, but at present the effort involved for the cleaner in humping baskets of logs from the cellar to the lounge, gives us a problem. Property Owner

Finished to a high standard the property offers a great bolt hole to which to escape and relax. Originally part of a larger Victorian property this cottage has been tastefully refurbished to a high standard. The cottage offers a spacious and social living space and offers a great space to spend time with friends. The living area affords a breath taking view across the Troutbeck Valley to Applethwaite Common and the eastern fells. The matching bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings provide a cosy and comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Outside there is a lovely cottage garden close by, with patio furniture, which is just a short walk away. Turn right at the front door and find it adjacent to the driveway to Thyme Out (the neighbouring property). It is positioned so you can enjoy the ever-changing picture postcard view no matter what time of day or time of year. Look for the slate sign to indicate the seating area. == Accommodation in detail A private parking space is adjacent to the pretty garden area with patio furniture and stunning views across the valley is available just a minutes' walk from the front door.

Location A romantic cottage in the Troutbeck Valley provides a Lake District holiday experience like no other. Still only a short drive from shops and restaurants in Windermere village, Lake Windermere itself and the vibrant lake shore communities of Bowness and Ambleside, the Troutbeck Valley is a peaceful haven away from the rush. Spectacular Lakeland fells surround this lush valley; scattered with historic Lakeland houses and pretty woodlands, and blessed with the Mortal Man in Troutbeck village renowned for their excellent food, Cumbrian produce and cosy fireside ambience. Perfect for a special occasion. There are endless opportunities for romantic Lake District walks from your doorstep. Taking the car over Kirkstone Pass towards Ullswater, you'll pass Brothers Water - one of our favourite spots for a leisurely Sunday stroll. For exploring further afield, despite the blissfully secluded feel of the Troutbeck Valley, you're never too far from the main linking roads throughout the Lake District.

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.

Please note: Logs aren't provided for the wood burner, supplies are located at The Old Post Office Village Tea Room Troutbeck approx 200yds or Troutbeck Petrol Station approx 2 miles from the cottage.
We are happy to accept a well behaved pet, however if any damage is caused there may be additional cleaning charges which will be taken from the good housekeeping bond
