Overview

Cragside Cottage is part of a former traditional Lakeland hill farm (Greenah Crag), nestling in the lee of a rocky outcrop from which it takes its name. Overlooked by the peaks of Helvellyn, Skiddaw and Blencathra and in close proximity to gentler but equally beautiful lakesides, walking and climbing are available on the doorstep. Whatever your interest; cycling, sailing, wildlife, natural history or just simply relaxing, the area around Cragside is crammed with activities for all the family.

Beautiful barn conversion
Lovely house with bedrooms downstairs and a lovely open plan kitchen, dining and seating area upstairs. There is a second bathroom with shower on the top floor with main bathroom on ground floor. The kitchen is well equipped including dish washing items. We loved the location as easy access to Penrith, Keswick and Ulswater with lots of lovely walks. Whilst the property is on a working farm it’s very quiet. There are farm dogs that come & say hello so you do need to watch out for poop but you are in the countryside & they are working dogs. We had a couple of visits from the Herdwick sheep that pass by the house on the hill outside. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again,

Thank you so much for your lovely review of Cragside Cottage! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage well equipped for your needs. We're happy to hear that the location was ideal for your stay, providing easy access to some to of the fantastic attractions the area has to offer such as Ullswater and Keswick. It's nice to hear some of the Herdwicks popped by during your stay to say hello, it is a great spot for watching the local wildlife! We hope to welcome you back again for your next trip to the Lake District! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Weekend stay
Beautiful spacious cottage, good location, as we were staying for the nearby triathlon in Keswick. Two high spec bathrooms, one on each floor, was appreciated. Really lovely open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with comfy sofas. Downside was the patio area has been dug up so there was nowhere to sit out and the farm dogs roam around, leaving a mess. Also it's a long drive down the farm track!

Thank you for your review on Cragside Cottage, we are really happy that you enjoyed your stay! We wanted to leave an updated response to your review as the owners have taken on board the feedback re the patio and are currently carrying out some work at the property. The patio will be re-flagged and both the patio and grassy area will be enclosed with a fence, with some outdoor furniture added for the warmer months. As Cragside Cottage is located on the grounds of a working farm, the friendly 4-legged residents (a labrador and terrier) will still likely come and say hello, but guests will be able to enjoy a space to themselves next to the property. This will be completed by Spring. The drive from the A66 up to the property is a decent trek at roughly half a mile, easily accessible in a car but far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside! We hope that you would consider re-visiting Cragside Cottage and hope to host you again soon :-) Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

The cottage is a lovely well equipped property based on a working farm. Watch out for the farm dogs poop! Check in was easy and there is a tablet which has information regarding the property although no information regarding the nearest shop.

Booked this holiday home for a little getaway with some friends, and felt right at home. The cottage is so much more spacious than the pictures and is the perfect spot for a holiday to the lakes, it’s a the perfect location with only a 15 minute drive to Penrith and Keswick with a few beautiful pubs, farm shops and walks nearby. Will 1000% come back here next time we are away at the lakes.
