Overview

Wythburn Cottage is open plan and equipped for a master chef in the spacious kitchen and dining area so you can catch up with loved ones as you uncork the wine, flip the dining table top for a game of billiards or rustle up a feast from your complimentary hamper of local delicacies.

If the Cumbrian mists descend, curl up by the log burning cast iron stove in the galleried lounge, with ornate wrought screens opening down onto the open-plan dining room.

With grace and beauty inside and out, a stay at Wythburn promises memories to cherish.

If you can bear to leave...

Fill your lungs with clear Cumbrian air – there are miles of running, hiking and biking routes from your doorstep.

Potter around nearby Greystoke village: visit its legendary castle; take tea in the walled garden of the Cycle Café or sample a local brew in The Boot and Shoe. Aira Force and Ullswater Lake are minutes’ drive away for rambles, steamboat jaunts and water sports.

If the limitless supply of natural wonders begin to pall, recharge your adrenalin with quad biking, clay pigeon shooting or boating on Ullswater. Add elegance to the mix with an evening at Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake or a dine at one of Cumbria’s many Michelin starred pubs and restaurants.

Outside of London, Cumbria is the country with the most Michelin starred restaurants including Allium Askham Hall, Cedar Tree Brampton, Cottage in the Wood Braithwate, Dog and Gun Inn Skelton, Forest Side Grasmere, Heft Newton in Cartmel, Lake Road Kitchen Ambleside, L’Enclume Cartmel, Pentonbridge Inn Penton, Rogan & Co Cartmel, Source Bowness on Windermere and The Samling Ambleside.

Christine’s place is exactly as described. As a large family, there was plenty of space for us all. It’s a very quiet private area which was great for the dogs and children. Christine was very responsive to messages and provided a list of local activities to do!
