About this property

A delightful country house set in the heart of Lakeland

Castle Rock Cottage is a delightful country house set in the stunning scenery of the English Lake District. Recently renovated to the highest standard, Castle Rock is a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the fells, lakes and villages of Lakeland. Whether you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful break, or a fun family holiday, a warm welcome awaits you at Castle Rock.
Castle Rock Cottage is located at the heart of The Lake District, near the shores of Thirlmere. It is situated in an elevated position in the tiny quiet hamlet of The Green, Thirlmere, and has wonderful views to the south and west from the windows and garden. The cottage is a semi-detached house on two floors and has a large private garden, with outdoor eating area, and also a walled back yard. Newly renovated, it has been tastefully decorated and furnished, provided with all mod cons, and offers you the perfect venue for your explorations of Lakeland.
Venues for walking, mountain biking, rock climbing, paragliding, boating, and many other activities are all nearby and of course the bustling local towns of Keswick, Grasmere and Ambleside are within easy reach.
The cottage is located on a private road in the secluded valley of St John's in the Vale, yet it is just 10 minutes by car to the Lakeland hubs of Keswick and Grasmere. There are plenty of delightful walks and mountain hikes, right from the door, the beautiful lake of Thirlmere just a few minutes away, and of course all the other attractions of The Lake District are within easy reach.

Beautiful position with a relaxing view
The cottage has a lovely location nestled in the trees and with great mountain views. The interior spaces are on the whole comfortable and well equipped, except for the bathroom which is very small. Given the beautiful view from the windows of the cottage, a deeper cleaning of the windows is recommended. Also the refrigerator should be cleaned more carefully. Apri in Google Traduttore

Cozy house in Thirlmere
Delightful country home with excellent communal areas. The kitchen was ideal for us. We’d love to cook and spend time at a big table and it was warm and cozy and friendly and cheerful. The living room is excellent and such a well-equipped bookshelf we couldn’t have even dreamed of. Everything we needed was there including the fireplace and enough beds and bed sheets and towels. We were warm and cozy and in a great location to access many other Lake District points of interest and hiking trail heads.

Beautiful stay
We had a beautiful vacation at the cottage. Jamie is very kind and if you need anything or ask him something he is quick in respons. The cottage is perfectly located and there is lots to do in the surroundings. The cottage is comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need. Nice beds and even toys and games for our kids. We will come back for sure.

Second time here
It's great. That's why we came again. The location is peaceful and there are quite a few good local walks like Dob Gill and High Rigg where you rarely meet anyone else. Cottage is cosy and has everything you need. Plenty of hot water etc. We will probably come again another year.
