About this property

This charming, well-presented detached cottage is in the small village of Dacre, superbly located in the Lake District National Park, within 2 miles of Ullswater, regarded by many as the most beautiful lake in England. Built in the 18th century as the village school, this quaint cottage near Ullswater has many original features and provides warm, cosy accommodation, perfect for couples wishing to enjoy the woodburning stove and generous garden. This Ullswater cottage has one bedroom with original beams and a pitched ceiling, and an open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and a sitting area with beams and a woodburning stove housed in an inglenook fireplace. The spacious lawned garden outside your Ullswater cottage provides a perfect place to plan your activities while catching the morning sun, or to unwind after a long day. The tiny village of Dacre is steeped in history with an ancient church and even its own castle! Not forgetting, of course, the local tavern, conveniently situated next door to this Ullswater cottage, which welcomes visitors with cask ales and traditional bar food. You will find pubs offering a wider menu in nearby Pooley Bridge. With Ullswater a short drive away guests can take in the beauty of the lake by embarking on a cruise on one of the Ullswater Steamers. The pretty village of Glenridding is also a popular destination, with many charming tea rooms and cafes. For the more experienced mountaineer Helvellyn, the third highest mountain in England, is close to hand and of course, the notorious Striding Edge - not for the faint hearted! Rheged visitor centre is also close by, which regularly holds art exhibitions and hosts special events. A 20 minute drive away is the bustling town of Keswick, situated on the shores of Derwentwater. This Ullswater cottage is a perfect base for couples, any time of the year.

Dacre is a small village within the Lake District National Park, just a couple of miles from the beautiful lake at Ullswater. Dacre has a pub, a castle and an ancient church. Five miles away is Penrith, with a further selection of amenities. The wonderful scenery, mountaineering opportunities and plentiful lake, water and mere sights of the region make this a great holiday base.
