Rooking Cottage

Rooking Cottage, situated in the picturesque village of Patterdale, is a beautiful three-bedroom stone house that has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard, filled with modern comforts.

It's said that the kitchen is the heart of the house, and this Ullswater cottage has a stunning kitchen! The open-plan layout comprising the kitchen, large breakfast counter and dining area is a perfect space for the family or friends to gather while cooking up a storm and discussing the day's activities.

On the warmer days, slide open the large patio door, extend the dining area to the outside patio area and light the BBQ for alfresco dining. The views of the fells are just incredible!

In the colder months, the underfloor heating and double glazing make the house toasty warm, and with the wood-burning stove in the living room you'll thaw out in no time. The boot/utility room, off the kitchen, provides plenty of hanging space and extra heating to dry out your wet gear.

Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms, each benefiting from views of the fells. One of the double bedrooms is en-suite, and the spacious second bedroom is the bigger of the three, with dual-aspect windows and a pair of full-size single beds that can be zipped and linked to form a super-king double if required. The third bedroom is a single bedroom with a full-size single bed and a lower trundle bed that can be pulled out and made up to provide an additional full-size single bed. This room is best suited for children.

Locally, in the village of Patterdale, you have the White Lion Pub and the Patterdale Hotel; both offer a good range of ales and good food too. The Old Water View serves a fantastic range of local gins and other drinks from its idyllic riverside bar. Less than a mile further is the village of Glenridding, larger than Patterdale; you have a few shops, a convenience store, more pubs, and the Pier for the Ullswater Steamers.

Overall, Rooking Cottage is a perfect choice for a family holiday and an ideal base to explore the fells and the lakes from your doorstep or the wider Lake District area.
