Getting to Townhead Cottage is an adventure in itself. From Pooley Bridge, at the northern head of the lake, your drive follows the eastern edge of Ullswater, squeezed between fell and lake shore, with glimpses over the water. At Howtown, the road becomes a winding lane rising steeply over fern covered fell slopes, then descending into the tiny hamlet of Sandwick.

The cottage is at the foot of Sleet Fell, looking over Sandwick Beck to Hallin Fell where, from the door, a short walk north takes you to Sandwick Bay and the waters edge.

From the cottage a bridleway leads to Patterdale and one of the most beautiful paths in the Lake District, taking in both lake shore and dramatic high fell.

For something a little special, you can drive back towards Pooley Bridge, where on the lake road you will find The Sharrow Bay Hotel, famed for both location and cuisine.

Townhead Cottage

Adjoining Townhead House, the cottage is Georgian in style, offering spacious accommodation for two. Enter a small hall through the porch at the back of the cottage off which lies the kitchen, sitting room and, up a few oak steps, the bathroom and bedroom.

The sitting room is warmed by a crackling fire and lit by a large mullioned window through which, when open, you hear the splashing of Sandwick Beck. The kitchen, though compact, is well equipped to self cater. The bathroom has bath, hand basin and WC. The bedroom lies at the back of the cottage, comfortably furnished with a contemporary, low double bed.

The garden lies to the front of the cottage, a shaded, quiet flagged stoned area, where you can enjoy a glass of wine to the sound of babbling water or read a book undisturbed.

Townhead Cottage offers everything for the perfect lakeland holiday. Spectacular walks, fun by the lake shore, steamer trips, boat hire and a quiet, unspoiled location.
