Friends and families will love the village location of this charming, characterful cottage in tranquil Uldale. With plenty of walking and cycling routes from your doorstep, outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice. Nestled amongst the northern fells of the Lake District National Park, you can immerse yourselves in the natural beauty of the area with leisurely strolls or more challenging hikes, before rewarding yourselves with a treat in one of the National Park’s many tea rooms or pubs, including those in Uldale itself.

With the perfect blend of original and contemporary features, exposed beams and stone walls reflect the cottage’s heritage while light tones and mod-cons bring it into the 21st century. On the ground floor, you’ll find a bright, airy and cosy lounge with a roaring wood burner to gather round of an evening. There’s also a light and spacious kitchen/diner. The two bedrooms are upstairs with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. A family shower room completes the inside accommodation. Outside, a small seating area to the front offers somewhere to sit and watch the world go by.

Located in the area known as Back O’Skiddaw, keen walkers can venture to the summit of Skiddaw itself (10 miles), or other well-known fells such as Blencathra and Catbells (both within 17 miles). Others may prefer the gentler ascent of nearby Binsey or Great Calva. Your nearest lake is Bassenthwaite Lake (6 miles) with its wetlands nature reserve and nesting ospreys, as well as the Orient Express train at Bassenthwaite Lake Station, and the local gin distillery. Kids both young and old will enjoy the activities on offer at Whinlatter Forest Park (13.5 miles). On the banks of Derwentwater, Keswick is only 12 miles away, with its range of shops, eateries and outdoor activities.

Beautiful, cosy, peaceful and well equipped home from home. Would highly recommend. Lovely area, with no phone signal, which for us was perfect. Good WiFi in house. Amazing tearoom 200 yards up the road but the local pub was closed, could have been due to being out of season. Nearest pub, the black lion in Ireby was 1 an half mile away and had a loRead morevely roaring fire, was friendly and welcoming with tasty homemade food at reasonable prices. Again would highly recommend.. Hide

Absolutely wonderful stay at Barrony Cottage. Well equipped, we wanted for nothing. The fire was a highlight - my husband absolutely loved it. Beautiful bedrooms. We had an issue with the shower during our stay and the owners were absolutely fantastic, responding quickly and sorting a fix fast. Had some lovely days out and meals in the local area -Read more was brilliantly placed for accessing the lakes. The best part was the cows that walk past in the morning - my daughter waited by the window for them Hide

The cottage is nicely positioned in a quiet village near the tea room/gallery which was excellent. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with exposed beams. There are walking options from the door to the Cumbria Way and plenty of other walks a short drive away. I can also recommend the Black Lion in Ireby for eating out.

Lovely cosy cottage and fairly well equipped. Just needed matches and more hand soap. Location great for Skiddaw, Keswick and Whinlatter Forest. Enjoyed the log burner. Nice modern interior with period features. It was nice chatting to and helping Johnny, the farmer, and his wife milk the cows. Very friendly villagers. Snooty Fox very underwhelmingRead more. Owner a little strange and the food was very overpriced for what it is. Can recommend the Sun Inn at Bassenthwaite and Maes Tea Rooms, also. Hide
