Lacet Cottage

A beautiful cottage in a perfect location!

Well maintained and furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and will definitely be back! Close to so many activities, amenities and the central road to Keswick and Penrith.

A really nice, homely cottage, we would have no problems staying there again.

(Wonderful to see the red squirrels!).

A lovely place in a great setting!

Peaceful ,next to the river with wildlife to see from your windows, Excellent location to visit other places without to much travelling. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous property in the perfect location and very private.

Probably the best accommodation we have stayed in. From the red squirrels to the bats which were amazing I was standing outside watching them fly around me. Owls brilliant. Never stayed this side of the lakes but I have to say we loved it.

We have enjoyed our stay at Lacet Cottage immensely.

The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are super-comfortable. The showers work well and the upstairs shower is huge. The garden is wrapped round the cottage with red squirrels visiting the hazelnut box. It's in a great location being only a couple of minutes from the A66 which makes the North Lakes easily accessible. We'd love to return, which surely is the best recommendation. However don't forget to pack shampoo, shower gel and such extra things. I'll also take a non-slip shower mat next time - just in case...

A lovely cottage in a great location for wildlife with many excellent walks in close proximity.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week and will hopefully be able to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage, it was cosy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

The only thing we really missed was a vacuum cleaner. We brought our dog with us and would have liked to tidy up properly before we left. It also would have helped with the mess from the tree outside, which tends to get tracked in – especially with cream carpets! A few coat hooks or somewhere to hang jackets in the utility room would be a great addition too. That said, the location is absolutely perfect, peaceful, quiet, and truly idyllic. There are so many beautiful walks nearby and lots of lovely places to visit. We were thrilled to spot red squirrels in the garden, as well as a deer and some rabbits. We’d definitely recommend this cottage, it’s a tranquil retreat in a stunning setting. Looking forward to coming back!

The property and grounds were amazing and the welcome hamper was such a lovely surprise.

Lots of wildlife including a red squirrel and woodpecker to enjoy watching from the kitchen window. Would highly recommend as comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and lots of space, including extra fridge freezer and space to store bikes if needed. Bedrooms were really comfortable and both showers amazing and roll top bath in main bedroom was lovely. Only minor negative was lack of mirror in main bedroom so had to use other bedroom to use mirror and dry hair etc. Ideally situated to reach many parts of the Lakes easily but quiet and secluded to allow rest and relaxation. Definitely recommend and will book again

Absolutely fantastic week at Lacet Cottage- it was clean, comfortable and in a stunning location.

It far exceeded our expectations. Underfloor heating was lovely and we found the cottage very well equipped. The wildlife in the garden was wonderful to enjoy - we had 4 red squirrels who were regular visitors, a woodpecker, pheasant, a pair of blue tits, robins, nuthatch, chaffinch… The beds were so comfortable and we enjoyed listening to the birds so much in the morning that we struggled to get out of bed on a couple of days. It’s perfect located for exploring- Ullswater/Glenridding are very close. Pooley Bridge is also worth a visit. Brackenrigg nearby great for food. A really beautiful place- we’ve had such a nice week here and it’s been so relaxing. Just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave. Great walks from the doorstep too. Highly recommend this property - We would definitely rebook.

Lacey Cottage was absolutely gorgeous.

It was a brilliant location to all our favourite places in the north and west lakes. The cottage itself has been beautifully renovated to have all of the modern comforts but still maintain the charm of a Cumbrian cottage. We’ll definitely consider booking this cottage again for future stays.

Lovely property.

We enjoyed ourselves. The internet is not great and doesnt work anywhere unless in the main living room and thats patchy but I appreciate the location of the cottage makes this difficult. Other than that the house is fab, a lovely getaway from reality. Thank you

Me, my husband, daughter and dog loved it!

!! The place was spotless and could not find anything to complain about! We loved the sound of the little steam in the evening and being woke to sound of sheep! Our daughter enjoyed feeding the red squirrels and we saw a weasel run across the garden!! Great location and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our first trip to the Lake District one to remember. And not forgetting the welcome hamper :)

Lovely cottage had a great time saw plenty of red squirrels.

Housekeeping needs some attention when we arrived there were spiders and cobwebs in most room corners and windows and flies bits of plastic wrapping and dirt from previous guests sitting rm the worst lampshade and bottom of little round table lots of cobwebs and all the skirting boards dusty I know it’s hard to keep on top of it all being a old cottage I manage old thatched holiday cottages. Toaster tray full of crumbs lots dirt under microwave beside dining rm cabinet by squirrel bin lots of cobwebs. Maybe leave a few logs for guests to start one fire on arrival and information on where to buy extra for there stay . Some nice bath sheets instead of standard bath towels would make it feel a little more five star but these are just small negatives .

First class cottage in a quiet location but easy access to the North Lakes.

Very comfortable with quality furniture and fittings , very clean and well presented. Ref squirrels and a variety of birds in the spacious garden.

Outstanding cottage, fully equipped with a real home to home feel.

We loved staying there and we loved the area. Everything we needed was provided :)

Really enjoyed our stay at lacet cottage , was a lovely location , with plenty of walks from doorstep and close to ullswater.

Owners manual was very informative which was very helpful , there was even a bit history on the cottage . Will definitely return when staying in this area again

Absolutely loved the cottage, quiet, clean and well equipped.

Can’t rate it highly enough. Looking forward to coming back.

Lacet cottage is a lovely place to stay in the Lake District; it’s very comfortable and well maintained.

There is plenty of space for 4 people, but it’s also cosy. We visited Glenridding and Dacre nearby (both had excellent pubs), and Keswick is a bustling market town and not very far. Our favourite things to do were probably watching the red squirrels and birds from the kitchen window, playing scrabble and toasting marshmallows by the fire. We left wishing we had booked for longer.

Such a lovely cottage in a quiet secluded spot.

Only 10/15mins to the nearest town but feels like a lifetime away. Great for exploring Ullswater lake. Definitely make sure to visit the lake during a sunrise!

Beautiful peaceful cottage, just what we needed thank you !

This cottage is by far the best we have stayed in, a credit to the owners.

We will be back.

Lovely cottage with everything you’d need.

Would return

Beautiful clean and cosy cottage in the most gorgeous setting.

We were fortunate enough to have red squirrels and woodpeckers in the garden every day . A beautiful place to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Only downside were the two steps down into the kitchen, unfortunately they were difficult to see for oldies like us as the tiled steps were the same colour of the floor, so we had a couple of stumbles. However, I’m sure that most people would be able to see them better than us. Overall a fabulous holiday in a gorgeous setting.

Dreamy property Perfect in every way!

We will definitely be back

We had a wonderful week at Lacet Cottage.

A lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and in an ideal location to explore the Lakes. Would definitely recommend!

Lacet Cottage is a beautifully prepared and appointed house with all the facilities one could wish for.

Very quiet position, yet with easy access to the A66 and thus the Lakes road network. Comfortable beds, if perhaps a trifle soft. Roomy shower facilities. The upstairs shower room fan is becoming noisy and runs for too long; three to five minutes would be enough, not 12!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lacet Cottage- we really didn't want to leave!

The cottage is beautiful (even more so than the photos), and the surrounding scenery is stunning. One of the comfiest beds we've ever slept on, and we loved the underfloor heating downstairs. Would thoroughly recommend having a long soak in the roll-top bath in the smaller (but still large) bedroom. The house has everything you need for a great stay. Our Dachshund, Bumble, loved it, too, and made himself right at home from the first day. We did have to keep him on the lead in the garden due to him trying to get down to the river a few times, but this wasn't a huge issue. A massive thank you to Kate for the prosecco to celebrate my birthday during our stay- that was a lovely touch! We'd love to visit the cottage again.

Lovely comfortable property, gardens were amazing to explore.

A lot of thought had been put in making kids comfy providing games etc. Would be happy to go back again.

A gem of a cottage, ideally placed to visit the many attractions in the Lake District.

The cottage has been modernised to a high standard but in keeping with the style. A quiet location where you can enjoy daily visits from red squirrels and in our case pheasants.

Lacet is perfectly situated for any exploration of the northern lakes.

It is clearly a much-loved enterprise; communication with the owner is excellent and any query, however minor, is resolved immediately. The cottage is clean, comfortable and has a superb range of facilities. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and seeing red squirrels from the kitchen window is a magical experience we will treasure.

Excellent cottage.

Great views. Clean, spacious and comfortable.

Love Lacet cottage.

.we have visited several times now. Very comfy and clean cottage furnished very tastefully with beautiful natural garden with river running close by (down a bank to side of property). The location is rural and a few miles to Ullswater and villages of Pooley Bridge and Glenridding with pubs/cafes/small shops. Perfect for local walks, quiet time or to explore more of the Lakes. One of our favourite places to stay ever!

What a perfect cottage in a beautiful location.

We have just had a wonderful holiday at Lacet cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and in the perfect position within the Lake District. Thank you to Kate for the fab welcome pack. We will definitely be back. Ps - we saw the squirrels

A really peaceful cottage, with private and well thought out gardens.

So quiet that we slept with the bedroom windows open. Great walks right from the doorstep

Cottage was amazing with lots of walks to do straight from the front door step.

Visits from the red squirrels everyday. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed.

Beautiful cottage in stunning location.

Red squirrels provided entertainment, but excellent wifi allowed full internet access as well! Lots to do and eat nearby. Friendly and very helpful owner.

This is a really beautiful cottage in lovely quiet surroundings.

There were lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Red squirrels, pheasants and lots of sheep and happy lambs! The surrounding views were very picturesque from the garden. It was very well equipped with lots of different areas to sit. The beds were very comfortable.. Bath was great to soothe achy legs after a day on the fells. Pubs are a drive away.

Was a very welcome break in a wonderfully peaceful place - particularly loved the daily visits from the red squirrels and pheasant!

What a tonic after a difficult year.

Sunshine, fells and daffodils. We loved this cottage; please can we stay here forever? P.s. the squirrel visits for his hazelnuts at about 6.30pm each evening.

Wonderful week of walking in this beautiful area.

The cottage was just great - all we could have wished for.

This is our second visit to Lacet Cottage and it is just as beautiful as we remembered.

We've had a wonderful week filled with squirrel and pheasant spotting and lots of peaceful solitude. Thank you!

What a week!

The weather has been glorious so much so we needed sun cream! Have thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lacet Cottage for our 1st visit. We have very much enjoyed exploring the total area. Thank you to Kate for making our stay so comfortable, we look forward to coming again!
