“Overall we were very pleased with our cottage, Uldale.”

Our only criticism is the en-suite bathroom, which is very "tired" & in need of refurbishment. There was no form of heating in the en-suite, definitely needed a heated towel rail as there was nowhere to hang our towels to dry, not even a hook behind the door. We couldn't get the taps to work to fill the bath, they kept reverting to the shower, and the shower screen was very 'dodgy' when we tried to pull it open.

“The ensuite toilet was noisy.”

This bedroom was airless and there was no mechanism to open the window. Normal movement in this room was too noisy for our family occupants in the bedroom downstairs. I hadnt noticed there was no Wi-Fi and mobile signal was poor. That was my fault. Locatiin was good. Views good. Overall i felt the property was overpriced. There were red sqirrels and woodpeckers to view up close.

“We were all delighted with Uldale Cottage, and with all of Melbecks.”

The only minor niggle was the upstairs Saniflo toilet in the ensuite was very noisy for the bedroom downstairs. Apart from that we couldn't have been happier with the cottage.

“Good place for wider family gathering.”

Helpful combination of bedrooms and bathrooms, roomy seating at large kitchen table.
Miss Turner June 2018

“Lovely cottage where we could get away from it all.”

Great to watch the red squirrels and woodpeckers and Jay's from the window. Good position ie close to Keswick and you can walk from the cottage. The boys loved the games room.
Ms Reynolds April 2018

“This was a gorgeous little holiday home.”

It had a comfortable feel, with an interesting and quirky layout. It was well equipped and the owners didn’t scrimp on items such as toilet rolls, dishwasher tabs etc. It was also a nice touch to leave a chocolate cake and Easter egg on our arrival. Although in a lovely quiet location, the cottage is very close to local amenities e.g. Keswick; whinlatter forest park etc. Thoroughly recommend it

“No internet or mobile phone network and quite a long way off the beaten track which was great for us but may not be suitable for all.”

Wildlife was excellent in the area.
Miss Morris November 2017

“The photos on the website really didn't do the cottage justice.”

We had a fantastic stay, the cottage was so welcoming and homely with great facilities. The games room was a great bonus too. It was lovely to be welcomed with a cake and a pint of milk..a nice touch.

“Home from home”

The cottage itself is upside down, childrens and a double bedroom on ground floor, kitchen and living room upstairs with another bedroom (the main one really with ensuite) . The cottage had EVERYTHING you could ever need. I even found a sewing kit which was very useful. Owners thoughtfully left milk and tea / coffee etc as well as cake and Halloween themed decorations and chocolates for the kids. Beds are clean and comfortable, mattresses are in 'as new' excellent condition (yes, we looked) . This cottage is attached to others, one to the side and two more behind. It is easy to park and the games room was useful for dvds on an evening and games.

“Fantastic”

Just got back from a weekend staying in Uldale holiday cottage. We had a fantastic time. The pictures on the website don't do it justice as it has been refurbished since then. The rooms are spacious and well laid out. The cottage is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. There are games and dvds to borrow, a games room which our 11 year olds and my 9 year old niece loved (and the dads!) and a swing. We arrived to find fresh eggs, which tasted amazing and cake... a lovely touch. The views are stunning. It is in a quiet area but that was a good thing for us, the children enjoyed looking for wildlife and being outside. Keswick is a 5 minute drive away if you need anything. We would not hesitate to visit here again.

“Uldale”

This cottage is excellent, very clean and modern. It is in a fantastic secluded location, walking distance (if your family likes to walk) to Bassenthwaite Lake. The games room was great for younger and older children, as well as adults. I would thoroughly recommend it.

“Lovely cottage”

The cottage was lovely and very clean it had everything you needed home from home. The photos on the website don't do it justice as it has been beautifully decorated since they were taken. The only negative thing I would say was it would of been nice to have wifi. I would definitely stay here again.

“Home from home”

A good base for walking in the lakes. Slightly too far from pub to walk due to time of year (October) but fabulous pub which we visited regularly. Barn conversion immaculate and good for two dogs and two families including teens but only downside was not enough room to dry out wet clothing (wettest trip to Lakes so far!). Would definitely recommend as had great welcome pack to get us started which included home made cake!! Also spotted red squirrels in the garden.

“Homely and comfortable with amazing views all around”

Due to all sorts of reasons we left booking a cottage to the last minute...crazy, bearing in mind that it was coming up to the bank holiday weekend! We came across this cottage and though we could only get 3 nights as they were fully booked up it was well worth it! The rooms were spacious with the added bonus of the upstairs room having an ensuite, the two downstairs rooms shared a bathroom. Beds were comfortable and the sitting room area was spacious and homely. Plenty of books and brochures for everyone to plan what to do. Upon arrival there was some eggs, milk and a cake to welcome us...a very nice touch! It was a quiet and lovely place to start our holiday in the lake district with...watch out for the man eating squirrels and free range children :)

Bassenthwaite 1 mile. A mile out of Bassenthwaite village and around 2 miles from the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, these five holiday cottages nestle under the Skiddaw mountain range, in peaceful surroundings where you can sit and admire the breathtaking views or stroll through glorious countryside. These delightful cottages have been carefully created from old farm buildings and each is uniquely furnished and decorated, retaining character and charm. Scattered around the courtyard, each of these cottages has shared use of the extensive grounds and also a well-equipped games room and a children's play area. With a variety of accommodation across these five cottages, there is plenty of flexibility for all party sizes, and together they can accommodate 21 people, perfect for that special family get-together. There is plenty to do in the local area. These cottages are near the Osprey Project, where visitors can observe wild ospreys in their nests. There are numerous walks from the doorstep, in Whinlatter Forest there is the Go Ape tree-top adventure course, plus walks and mountain bike trails, while the Honister Slate Mine is a fascinating destination at any time of year. Keswick, sitting on the shores of Derwentwater, is 7 miles away, with many interesting shops and cafes. With ghyll scrambling, canoeing and whitewater rafting all available locally, there is something for everyone at these idyllic cottages.

About the location

BASSENTHWAITE

Keswick 8 miles; Cockermouth 9 miles.

An attractive village in the Northern Lakes, Bassenthwaite lies just a short distance to the north east of Bassenthwaite Lake, and retains its traditional rural feel, with a stream flowing gently on the outskirts, whitewashed Lakeland cottages, a pleasant vllage green and a real ale inn full of character! Bassenthwaite Lake itself, while boasting gentler scenery than others in the region, is still one of the most picturesque places in England. Places of interest nearby include Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Lake with small open-air theatre (reputedly frequented by poets such as Tennyson and Wordsworth), LAke District Wildlife Park, and Dodd Wood. Most of the attractions of the Lake District are within easy reach and the quieter Northern Fells are almost on the doorstep. The nearby towns of Cockermouth and Keswick, both have weekly markets and offer a good range of amenities. The scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is within touring distance, as is the city of Carlisle and Hadrians Wall country.
