Enjoying an enviable location in the heart of the Lake District, this traditional stone cottage features a boutique-style décor and luxuries including a hot tub and wood burner.
Beatrix Cottage is a quintessential Lake District, double-fronted, stone cottage which has been totally refurbished and kitted out by an interior designer to a high-end, boutique style finish. There’s a contemporary, neutral colour scheme throughout with muted pops of colour in the soft furnishings, exposed brick walls and a carefully curated collection of fixtures, artwork and ornaments that enhance its charm even more. This luxurious hideaway is the perfect place for two couples or a family with older children to relax, unwind and enjoy days exploring the traditional towns and pretty villages of the Lake District National Park.

Beatrix Cottage is a semi-detached property which retains a number of period features. A charming storm porch at the entrance to the cottage helps you to shelter from the elements whilst you find your front door key, but if you’ve had a rainy day out walking and need somewhere to put muddy boots and wet clothes, head straight to the utility room. It’s located in an outbuilding next to the cottage and has a drying area for shoes and coats, as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Inside the cottage itself you’ll find an elegant, open-plan living space which is very cosy and invites you to curl up on the sofa in front of the wood-burning fire or dine all together around the dinner table. It’s a lovely space to gather in the evenings and chat whilst sipping wine or a mug of hot chocolate, or watching a film on the television.
Meanwhile, the stylish kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prepare meals and snacks: it features a range cooker, a Nespresso coffee machine with a selection of coffees to try and an American-style fridge to keep a good stock of treats such as delicious local cheeses. There is also a larder supplied with some essentials ready for you to begin cooking and baking whenever you want.
Upstairs there are two exquisitely decorated bedrooms, each with a king-size bed (one of which can be unzipped to provide two single beds if required). One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and shower over to warm up in after wintry walks, while the other bedroom is served by the adjacent shower room, so getting ready to go out in the morning is that little bit quicker for everyone. From both of the bedrooms there are lovely views of a wooded area, which is a delightful sight to greet you each day.
Outside there is a garden that is a pleasure to spend time in, complete with a hot tub, barbecue, fire pit and luxurious garden furniture, including a dining table, dining chairs and armchairs.

Beatrix Cottage is set in a small village with the nearest pub just 0.2 miles away and the closest shop just a little bit further. There are a couple of hotels nearby too that are good for lunch. Meanwhile, the popular towns of Ambleside and Windermere are within easy driving distance if you want a range of shops to buy some gifts to take home or perhaps some local artwork. Both have a good selection of restaurants and bars, should you fancy a night out.
There are some excellent country walking trails in the area where you can work up a sweat or simply take your time and enjoy nature. Take the two-mile walk through beautiful open meadows, along Elterwater Lake to Stockghyll Force. Or, stretch those leg muscles on an ascent up the Langdale Pikes or Crinkle Crags.We recommend arriving at Beatrix Cottage by car. However, once at the cottage you don’t necessarily need to use it until you want to explore the wider Lake District National Park. The cottage has two parking spaces.
