The choice is all yours!

Why they chose this property
We purchased and renovated Woodside Cottage in August 2022 to create a perfect Lake District getaway that we could share with others. We adore the quiet, sublime nature of the Lake District and wanted to create a catered experience that would compliment all the Lakes has to offer!
Woodside Cottage was designed with comfort, cosiness and luxury in mind - with plenty of home comforts to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Unwind by a lovely fire in the living room, or dine on our open terrace overlooking the gardens and spectacular views of the fells ; enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco in our wood-fired hot tub or set off on one of the many incredible hikes located right on the doorstep!
To us, guest experience is paramount so you’ll always have a friendly point of contact to hand with whatever you might need. We might be a little biased but we have worked hard to make sure your stay will be one you won’t forget!
