Newby Bridge 4.1 miles.
Resting peacefully in the hamlet of Crosslands, in the idyllic valley of Rusland, you will find the charming dwelling of Rusland View.
Situated on the edge of the Lake District National Park, this homey abode offers a scenic romantic getaway to the Cumbrian countryside.
Step inside the cottage and be greeted by a well-equipped kitchen, home to a range of sleek electrical appliances, all to be used as you show off your culinary skills whilst whipping up a romantic meal for two.
Dine by candlelight at the pretty oak table, popping open a perfectly chilled bottle of bubbly and toasting to time well-spent with one another in this beautiful setting.
Freshen up in the handy cloakroom before making your way into the warm and welcoming sitting room, where you can spend a quiet night indoors snuggled up on the plush sofa in front of the traditional woodburning stove and eye-catching feature fireplace and relax in front of the TV.
As you begin to feel yourself tire from an exhilarating day of adventure, carry yourself up the staircase and rest in the spacious double bed located on the first floor.
The double bedroom also boasts an en-suite, perfect for catching a quick morning shower before heading back downstairs and delighting in breakfast alfresco at the outdoor seating area.
When you can just about tear yourself away from the comfort of the holiday home, delight in a relaxing stroll toward High Dam or explore the wondrous woodland of Grizedale Forest.
Cross Lake Windermere to the National Trust owned Fell Foot Park and discover breath-taking landscapes and the enchanting historical landmark of The Old Boathouse along the way.
Indulge in a refreshing pint at one of the many charming countryside pubs in the area, whilst tucking into some delicious pub grub and sharing your most memorable moments from the holiday so far.
Whilst in the area, take a romantic ride along the Coniston Water with a trip on the National Trust Owned Steam Yacht Gondola or wander the galleries of the historical house of Brantwood, home to captivating art and exciting exhibitions.

What guests are saying
Arrived at Rusland View in the early evening, not long after the sun had set and was immediately struck by the surroundings.
Nestled in a valley, the property was idyllic, and the colours of autumn were strongly displayed in all of the trees and foliage surrounding the property, which, for me, brought back very euphoric memories of my childhood. My hosts, David and Anne, were absolutely delightful and were on hand for any assistance that may have been needed whilst at the property. Every day, you could go to nearby towns or villages such as Kendal, Ulverston, and Hawkshead and all had streams running through them, which was fantastic and a true feel of the outdoors adventure. The interior of the property was beautiful and charming, as you really do feel like you are part of a rustic, country novel. The open fire was lovely in the evenings when settling down after trips out. The bed was comfortable, and the bedding was crisp and clean; the towels were thick and luxurious, and the cottage retained its warmth, never leaving you feeling cold. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, as are the country lane walks you can do, ideal with your beloved dog(s). All in all, 5 days of sun-kissed (the sun was out on all 5 days) relaxation, and I sincerely thank David and Anne for making the stay a total joy.
Thank Garaidh, David and I so pleased you had an amazing stay in Rusland View. We hope you had a safe journey home and maybe we will see you again one day. Regards from us both x
The cottage was very comfortable and immaculately presented with everything in it we needed for an enjoyable stay.
The owners who live next door are very friendly and helpful.
Comfy, cosy and quiet.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage which had everything we needed. We would definitely book here again.
Thank you, we are pleased you you enjoyed your stay with us.
Rusland View was a super cottage.
It was beautifully clean and cosy, had everything we needed for a lovely break. Thanks to the owners, Anne & David for their warm welcome and tips for spots to visit, much appreciated.
Thank you, we are both pleased you had a great stay in Rusland View. And enjoyed what the area has to offer. We hope you get your knee sorted soon. Anne & David xx
Rusland View is located in a very quiet area of the Lake District, only reached by narrow roads.
The accommodation was spotless with everything needed to hand. Experienced small issue with hot water system. The welcome gift of milk and cakes was well appreciated. Would have been nice to have the pubs/restaurants nearer to hand. We throughly recommend to others for a peaceful and relaxing break
Dear Mr Robinson, we are pleased you found our cottage spotless and enjoyed our homemade cakes. The hot water has always been slightly slower in the shower room basin but does not affect the pressure in the shower or kitchen. It is 15 century farmhouse!! Sorry you weren’t near enough to a pub but it does say on the listing that the nearest is 2.7 miles away. Sad you marked us down for this! Anyone reading this, the nearest pub is 2.7 miles away with good beer & food Another is 4 miles, 4 more at 4.1/2 miles. Then in Hawkshead which is 5 miles away there are 3 pubs, a restaurant and a bistro. The Lake District is a beautiful rural area with narrow lanes we can’t do anything about this.
An amazing cottage, we had a wonderful 5 days exploring the Lakes and this was a great base!
Owners were very welcoming and the cottage was spotless and cosy, the bed was super comfortable! The cakes and flapjacks were a lovely welcoming touch, we'd definitely recommend to all and will rebook if we come this way again!
Thank you so much. We are pleased you had a great stay with us! And enjoyed my homemade cake.
We had a lovely stay at Rusland View.
The property was very clean and had all that you could need for a short or long stay. The owners are lovely and are on hand if needed. An ideal location for access to Windermere, Coniston, Ambleside and Kendal. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Hi Tina, Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you saw lots of local things but enjoyed relaxing in Rusland View. Regards A&D
Wonderful time spent at Rusland View.
Excellent hosts. Very helpful and informative. Would definitely recommend the accommodation and area. Thank you
Thank you, Dave & I are so pleased you had a great stay with us and enjoyed your family holiday!
We had a lovely stay at Rustland view cottage, lovely little cottage & was very cosy, very well equipped that made our stay more comfortable & we was welcomed from the owner (who were so friendly also ) with homemade cake ( very yummy to) lovely vase of fresh cut flowers as well as a carton of milk such a lovely welcome.
Thank you so much Please pass on a big thank you to the owners.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in our cottage.
Very good cottage and we enjoyed staying there immensely.
Your instructions to the cottage can be significantly improved if you indicate the approximate distances between different landmarks. Also we do not pass through anything we recognise as a farm on the way to the cottage.
We are pleased you had a good stay in our cottage! The farm is 1/2 mile before you arrive at the junction to us. Guests will drive through the farm, house & farmyard on right. Barn on the left. But lovely you had a good time when you arrived & enjoyed your time in Rusland View! David & Anne
Rusland View is a lovelly cottage, very comfortable and very nicely furnished, it really feels like home.
Every need is catered for, It was very clean. On arrival we found a welcome pack, milk, tea bags,coffee, sugar and some cake, what more could you want. The directions to get to the cottage were very clear and easy to follow. Ann & David are very welcoming and helpful. Hope to back sometime.
David & I are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Thank you x
This is a lovely cottage nestled into the heart of the lake district.
Plenty to do and not far to drive for most of it. We went up Helvellyn, sliding edge and drove down to the Dungeon Ghyll old pub for a nice pint afterwards. Just fantastic all round. The owners of the cottage, Anne and David, are both lovely people. Nice to chat to. I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Robert. We are pleased you enjoyed your weekend with us.
Lovely place to be in a beautiful area
Rusland View is a small self contained comfortable, very clean and traditionally furnished 1 bedroom cottage adjacent to the owners property (a former farm).
It is located in a quiet rural valley with good road access to Windermere, Coniston and the Furness Penninsula. It is extremely peaceful and secluded (the bird song there is a real joy). The owners Anne and David are very welcoming and are available to assist with any queries but not intrusive. It is a perfect site for walkers and those who wish to escape the busier areas of the Lake District. There is a fabulous area for sitting out on warmer evenings to the rear of the accommodation and a parking place directly by the entrance to the property. There is Internet connectivity but be aware this is a rural location so city connectivity speeds may not be achievable at all times. Larger supermarkets are in nearby Ulverston. Anne provided a generous welcome pack with home made cake, tea/coffee and toiletries in both the bathroom and downstairs toilet. This was exactly the type of property we enjoy staying in and we would be more than happy to make a return stay and recommend the property
Thank you Lorraine Thank you for the lovely card & homemade candleholder. Very much appreciated.
We really enjoyed our time here.
Wonderful quiet location but easy access to anywhere in the Lakes. Great pubs nearby and lots of walking options. The property was very clean and had everything required. Would certainly return.
Thank you Gregg
This cottage had everything we needed, including a very well equipped kitchen.
We enjoyed staying here very much and love the area.
Thank you Clive.
We loved the cottage and it had everything we needed.
Clean and very comfortable would recommend to anyone
Thank you so much. We are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and had a great Christmas stay! We hope you had a safe & uneventful journey home. All the best from Anne & David
A lovely warm welcome from Anne and Dave.
We really enjoyed our week in their beautiful and peaceful cottage. Everything was perfect and absolutely spotless. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Rusland View!
Thank you, we are so pleased you had a great stay. All the best to you both xx
Had a great week in a lovely property .
Everything you needed and the king size bed was so comfy . Location was great in order to explore all the well known areas of the lakes, whilst the cottage is in a quiet peaceful area . Property owners were very hospitable and we had a great stay, thank you
We are so pleased you had a great stay with us. Thank you xx
We had a wonderful stay in this superb property.
From the very start, our hosts Anne and David were so welcoming. They had provided milk and tea for our arrival, and some delicious homemade shortbread, plus some doggy treats for our ShihTzu Lady. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The living room was so cosy with its log burner. The bed was comfortable and the power shower was wonderful. We will be back next year Carol & Keith
Thank you so much for your lovely review, also for the kind note you left & leaving the cottage so clean & tidy. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay! x
Spotlessly clean.
Anne and David were lovely throughout.
Thank you Stephen,
The only problem I had was not having internet.
Yes my things stated "connected but without internet". I did tell the male that owned the place, but it did not ruin anything I just adapted.
Dear Sean, we are pleased you had a good stay. But sorry you had a problem with the WiFi.
Lovely property with great ownes on hand should you need them (we didn't apart from a chat).
Thanks Darren x
A holiday always to remember.
For anyone looking for peace, tranquility & beautiful scenery then Rusland View is the place to stay. The cottage itself is extremely well presented catering for every need - all credit to its owners Anne & David whose hospitality & generosity was sincerely appreciated. Would recommend without hesitation.
Dear Mrs Cope, we are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Rusland view and made some happy memories! Thank you for leaving everywhere so tidy. Regards Anne & David
We had a wonderful week stay at Ruslsnd View cottage.
The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Tea, coffee, milk and delicious cakes were awaiting our arrival, even treats for our dog, which was a lovely gesture to welcome us. We would definitely book again. Thank you David & Anne for a great stay x
Thank you, Deborah, Dave & I pleased you had a great week and enjoyed Rusland View & my homemade cake :). Hope to see you again sometime xx
We had a great stay, thank you!
That’s lovely, Thank you x
Very nice place.
Thank you, We are pleased you enjoyed Rusland View. x
We loved our week's stay in Rusland View - the location was very peaceful and quiet, the cottage was cosy and the kitchen very well-equipped.
We had a friendly welcome, and appreciated the welcome package especially the tasty cakes. The bed was really comfortable and we loved the log burner - thanks for the logs. Overall, we had a relaxing, comfortable and stress-free stay at the cottage. Thank you for your hospitality.
David & Anne are very pleased you both had a lovely holiday in Rusland View. And had a relaxing time!
After a horrendous 7 hour journey we arrived at rusland view & were warmly greeted by Anne who kindly made us welcome with a nice cup of tea & allowed us to relax in the lovely garden while she finished making ready our accommodation ( we arrived early).
Very comfortable, clean & well equipped cottage. With lovely walks right on the doorstep & further afield with beautiful scenery & views. High dam in particular ( take your swimwear) The Internet was off more than it was on with a download speed at best of only 1.66 mbps, so very slow. This can be a problem if you are someone who likes browsing or streaming on their devices. This is the only reason we give it four stars & not five. All in all, we had a lovely relaxing week & would stay here again if we visit this area in the future.
We are pleased you enjoyed your cuppa after the horrendous journey. So pleased you were comfortable in the cottage and enjoyed the local walks and scenery. Sorry the WiFi wasn’t right for you but we looked into it and BT said there was a fault on the line from the big storm we’d had the week before. BT have fixed it….
Very clean comfortable cottage.
The location is so beautiful.
Thank you, Julia We are pleased you were happy with our cottage and enjoyed the location!
Lovely clean property just what the description stated.
Thank you so much, we are pleased you had a great time and like our cottage.
Excellent location particularly for southern lakes.
Hosts went beyond the call of duty to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Little touches go a long way - i. e. fresh flowers on the dining table; homemade cake, mmmmm!We loved the cottage gardens/seating areas/ good variety of both bird and insect loving plants. A lot of thought has gone into these. Would definitely book this cottage again.
Dave and Anne are pleased you enjoyed Rusland View and the garden with everything it had to offer. Hope to see you again sometime.
Another wonderful stay at Rusland View with the usual warm welcome from Anne and David.
The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable with wonderful views across the beautiful countryside. Hoping to be back next year!
Dear Ian and Jane, Thank you for the lovely review. It was lovely seeing you both again. See you next year. A&D xx
We felt very comfortable here, at home as soon as we arrived.
The location is beautiful. Some great walks directly from the cottage. They can be as strenuous or as easy as you like. I personally like making up my own routes. We would have liked a secure outdoor area for the dogs to mooch about in without us standing over them. If you need internet then WiFi can be a bit hit and miss. Our hosts, Anne and Dave left us to get on with what we were doing but were always on hand if needed.
We are pleased you enjoyed our cottage and felt at home. And that you enjoyed the walks from the farm and finding some new routes too. We know the area hasn’t the fastest of Wi-Fi but shouldn’t be hit & miss. You should of let’s us know. There is 4/5G in the valley too. There is a dog gate under the stairs which you can be used so dogs can mooch at their leisure.
Thank you so much for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage.
We had a fantastic week. We loved the extra little touches, cake, tea bags and dog treats laid out on arrival. Thanks again
Thank you Bev, we are pleased you enjoyed the cottage and had a lovely holiday. All the best x
Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings,clean, well equipped, lovely bedding and towels etc, WiFi hit and miss but it didn't spoil our break,weather perfect for walks with our dog who loved the countryside,the cakes and dog biscuits were a lovely touch, perfect little holiday
Thank you, We are pleased you enjoyed your stay xx
Thank you Anne and David for making our second stay at Rusland View so enjoyable, always being there for advise or help if needed.
The cottage is perfect for exploring the lakes, very comfortable and well equipped. We were so fortunate to have sunny weather for 2 weeks.....hope the sunshine remains with you for the rest of the season!! Nikki, Steve and Delilah the dog x
It was lovely to see you again. We are pleased you enjoyed all again & Delilah had a good time too! All the best xx
Always very clean and well equipped it was our 3rd stay here and have booked a 4th for next year.
Friendly owners and cosy cottage in lovely location.
Thank you so much. It was lovely to see you again and great you found everything as good as your other visits. See you next year. All the best. xx
Beautiful cottage and ideally situated.
Very rural but at the same time, not too far to get to so many lovely destinations. This was our first visit to the Lake District and it didn't disappoint, and to have such a lovely cottage to come home to was perfect. It was very well stocked with everything you could need and the lovely cakes and flowers were a great welcome, and milk in the fridge. David was a friendly host and very willing to help out when needed.
Hi Carol, Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your 1st visit to the Lakes and were happy in our cottage. A & D x
We really enjoyed our stay at Rusland View, peaceful, quiet lanes and fields.
Ideally situated for getting around and plenty of walking or just browsing around the small towns and villages. Everything was supplied by the owners, the cottage has a homely feel and so close to Christmas it had table decs and a Christmas tree, plus Christmas cake.
Thank you. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Hope you had a safe journey home and have a lovely Christmas xx
Rusland View is a perfect haven of luxury in the beautiful and peaceful Rusland Valley .
It has everything you need including a cosy wood burning stove at the end of the day and a delightful welcome tea tray from the lovely owners.
The property was so beautiful and in such a lovely area with great views.
Anne was so helpful and kind and really friendly. Thank you so much ☺️
Aww, Thanks Lucy. We are so pleased you loved our cottage, views & the area. Best wishes Anne
Absolutely beautiful cottage and lovely owners .
Spotlessly clean and everything you need .
Thank you, we are so pleased you had a great week and loved Rusland View. Sorry we missed you before you left. We hope you had a safe journey home.
A very well-equipped cottage - best range of kitchen kit we’ve found in any cottage!
A lovely place with a peaceful atmosphere in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Rusland view.
David and Anne made us very welcome and were available if we needed them. The special touches like the scones and jam and the lovely arrangement of flowers just added to our holiday. It was great to do both local walks from the cottage as well as going further afield. The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful valley.
Thank you Ann, We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Also that you enjoyed the local walks and appreciated my baking and flowers. All the best Anne
The bed was to hard making a very uncomfortable sleeping
We are sorry to hear this but the comfort of a bed is quite subjective. We did ask if everything was ok and you said it was!
My mum and partner are just back from a week at Rusland View and they were delighted with the accommodation.
The property is beautiful, comfortable and equipped for every need . David and Ann are kind and considerate hosts but not intrusive. They loved it and will definitely go again.
Thank you Matthew, we are so pleased they had a great week and everything was good for them in the cottage. Please could you thank your Mum for the lovely card? We hope to see them again sometime.
Great location and well presented place.
Easy to find and very friendly people.
Thanks Greg. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
I booked this cottage for my mothers 70th birthday in July.
They found the cottage absolutely beautiful. The location, peacefulness and tranquility was something they said was most impressive. It is the best stay they have had in the lakes and would certainly go again.
Hi Morgan, It’s great to hear your parents had a lovely stay in Rusland View and that your Mum had a nice time celebrating her 70th birthday with us. Thank you
The cottage exceeded all our expectations.
It was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Theres was plenty of nearby walks for our dogs with Grizedale, Coniston and Windermere easy to reach. There are tight narrow lanes to navigate, so just take your time! July 24
A beautiful traditional cottage in rural setting in what was old Lancashire.
Beautifully maintained and comfortable. Very handy for the honey pots of the Lake District and many country walks from the cottage. Ideal for a couple and pet friendly. Will be returning without doubt. Congratulations to owner who we did not meet on this occasion. They have really excelled in amenities. Thankyou.
Thank you Derek, Glad you had a great time and enjoyed our little cottage. All the best Anne & David
Lovely stay and wonderful cottage.
The owners are lovely and welcoming. Definitely book this place if you’re looking for a comfy place as a base.
Thank you Chloe, we are so pleased you had a lovely stay with us. It was lovely meeting you.
Wonderful welcoming place to stay great Central location and will certainly be doing a returning visit.
Many thanks
Hi Lisa, Thank you so much. It was lovely meeting you and chatting to you. Glad you found the cottage an ideal situation for everything. Thank you also for the beautiful card you painted. I’m going to frame it. All the best Anne
Property is superb, absolutely beautiful, owners very friendly .
It is however very isolated , not near Newby Bridge at all . Thus was misleading. Also clear directions would have been very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there
Another fabulous week at Rusland View.
We were well looked after by Anne and Dave, the cottage was clean, well presented and well equipped. There was a very useful information file highlighting local walks and places to eat. To cap it all there were excellent home made cakes on arrival.
Thank you Jane. It was lovely see you and Ian again. Hope everything went to plan when you got home! xx
Lovely hidden away location, with wildlife by river and swifts flying high.
Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Owners are friendly and helpful. An ideal base for the South Lakes.
Thank you Andrew. We so pleased you enjoyed your week with us!
David and Anne were very welcoming, the cottage spotlessly clean and the scenery amazingly beautiful.
A lovely place to get away for some peace and quiet- would recommend xx
Dave & I are pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet here. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the delicious cakes, tea,coffee, lovely vase of spring flowers and doggie treats to welcome us!
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is very peaceful and very well located to explore the lakes. Will definitely return again.
Thank you. We are pleased you had a great time in our cottage and enjoyed Anne’s baking too! See you next year xx
A beautiful cottage warm and cosy and a comfy bed!
Owners lovely very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend Thank you
Thank you. We are so pleased you enjoyed your Easter weekend with us! xx
Lovely cosy, comfortable cottage in a peaceful location off the beaten track.
We had a very relaxing week there, Anne and David were welcoming and there if needed. We would definitely go back again.
Dave & I are pleased you had a lovely stay. Hope to see you again sometime x
Our second visit to this lovely, well equipped, comfortable and clean cottage in our favourite part of the Lake District.
Many thanks to Anne and David for their warm welcome, home made cakes and Truffles biscuits! Hopefully see you again next year.
Lovely to see you both again and pleased you had a great 2 weeks! Anne & David
Lovely cottage, would definitely go back and stay again.
Great holiday in a lovely little well equipped cottage in a nice quiet spot in South Lakes, but still within easy reach of towns/villages and close to Lake Windermere and Coniston Water.
The owners are next door if needed but leave you to it. We have already booked to go back again.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward seeing you both again in August.
We found the property well equipped, easy for parking on site and cosy.
Ideal for two people max. An excellent base for 'getting away from it all' and for walking in the southern Lakes. Loads of superb pub options for evening meals. Nearest shops etc around 15 mins drive away (Newby Bridge) down delightful country lanes. Would highly recommend a stay in this lovely setting.
Thank you x
Our second stay at Rusland and we were not disappointed.
The cottage is lovely and so well equipped. Anne and David are great and helpful if we needed anything. One comment is thanks for the clean oven again! So often I find in holdiaday cottages that the ovens are not clean and it is disappointing. So thank you for maintaing your high standards of cleanliness. We will be back again hopefully in 2025 as the cottage suits us very well.
Thank you. It was lovely to see you again!
We had a great time.
A lovely property in a lovely location. The owners were very welcoming and helpful and the stay, though only for a few days, was relaxing and peaceful which was exactly what we were looking for. The dog enjoyed herself as well!
Lovely cosy cottage, very well equipped.
The owners were very helpful when there was an issue with the shower. Just don't attempt the lane right outside the cottage as short cut to Hawkshead....unless you have a 4x4 and nerves of steel! I would stay here again, a hidden corner of the Lakes. Would recommend the Greenwood trails walking leaflets in the cottage to explore further
We had a lovely stay at Rusland View.
The cottage was very clean and comfortable it has a lovely wood burner which we didn’t get to use because the weather was really warm for our stay but i can imagine on a winters night how cosy it would be. The owners who live next door were very pleasant and helpful. we live on the Yorkshire Wolds and are used to Rural but Rusland View is very Rural with very narrow roads leading to it. It wasn’t a problem for us because you just have to drive very carefully. and the area around the cottage was lovely we had some lovely walks. The only thing that would put us off staying again was the very poor wi-fi. I know if you’re on your holidays you shouldn’t need to rely on wi-fi but you absolutely do these days. we need to keep in touch with elderly relatives etc when we away. The wi-fi was so poor it wouldn’t even let us access emails at times so we had to make sure that was all done before we returned to the cottage at night. We did mention it to the owners who rebooted the modem at their end and it made it slightly better but nothing like we would expect. All in all it was excellent and apart from the wi-fi would be happy to give it 10 out of 10.
Lovely cottage with nice views.
Owners friendly helpful .On our arrival milk tea coffee home made cake left for us also some biscuits left for my dog which was nice of them.
Thank you Kim, It was lovely to see you both again.xx
The owners were pleasant.
There were fresh flowers, complimentary cake when we arrived. Nice touch.
My husband , I and our dog stayed in this cosy little cottage for a week.
On arrival Anne showed us around explained how to work the showers and other things. Also Anne had left us some milk and home made cake and flapjack , which was delicious.We Loved the log burner which we lit on the wet day/night during our stay. The cottage was clean and tidy and very comfortable for the three of us. We enjoyed our trips out to the high dam ,bowness, Barrow and walney island. I did find the roads around the area a little tricky but would definitely go back
Thank you. We are glad you all had a lovely stay and enjoyed my cakes! The log burner is always great if the weather changes. xx
We thought the cottage was lovely and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
It was clean and tidy and well maintained. The shower is amazing and so powerful. The kitchen was full of all the utensils that you need for a self catering holiday we cooked every night with no issues. There was washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets which was great as that was something we forgot. The surroundings are beautiful and we walked in the local area which was lovely. Lovely touches like umbrellas all at the front door which again was great when letting the dog out. Cosy living room with wood burner we didn’t use this as was not needed. Internet was good for what we needed. The bedroom is a little tight but think that is due to the very large bed in the room. Very quiet throughout the day and the night absolutely silent have struggled to sleep at home now due to cars driving past but I am sure I will get used to that again. We didn’t meet Anne however David was friendly and asked how our stay was. The cakes tea and coffee and doggie trays are a lovely touch l. Thank you for a lovely place to stay!
Everything was on point.
Kitchen, cutlery, pans, full size fridge freezer worked for us. Bedroom very comfortable.shower was first class. Garden wasn’t enclosed for our dog, but because of the bad weather it didn’t matter, lovely walks on the doorstep. Some might not like a distance from shops bars etc but suited us just fine. The owners were so friendly and said they were on hand if we needed anything. A lovely stay and we would go back.
The property was very clean and had everything we needed.
We loved the cottage, one of the best we've been to.
Many thanks to Anne and David
Lovely cottage, well away from the crowds, containing everything you need for a week away.
Perfect peace and quiet, but well placed for day trips around the area.
The fact this was our second visit says it all!
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Rusland View.
The cottage is spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen. A beautiful peaceful location with amazing views. All the extra little touches were much appreciated, home made cake, fresh flowers, dog treats. Will definitely be back.
Located in a quiet corner of the Lake District, Rusland View is off the beaten track however the busier areas are within easy reach.
The cottage is always well presented, very comfortable and spotless. Anne and David are always charming, friendly hosts ever willing to ensure visitors have all they need to make the most of their holiday.
Lovely cottage, small but ideal for us and our two dogs.
We really enjoyed our stay
Loved our stay very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen in an idillic setting couldn't ask for more, would definitely stay there again .
Lovely cottage plan to return
We had a wonderful week at Rusland View.
The cottage is more than spacious enough for two people and was spotlessly clean. It was extremely well equipped; anything you could ever need was there and having a wood burner to take off the spring evening chill was perfect. Anne and Dave are great hosts; we were delayed on the journey up, but this was not a problem. They had left tea, coffee, milk & homemade scones for us, which was a lovely gesture. We would not hesitate to recommend Rusland View as the perfect place to stay and use as a base for a holiday in the Lakes or surrounding area. Best wishes from a very happy Kerry and Jim.
This is a cosy, comfortable, well-equipped, spotlessly clean cottage in a quiet corner of the Lake District.
The proprietors live nearby and are very friendly and helpful.
A return visit for us to Rusland View.
Everything was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. Anne x Dave we’re on hand for any queries we had.
Really enjoyed our break at Rusland View- lovely peaceful surroundings and managed to have fantastic weather too!
Lovely, cosy cottage in a beautiful location.
Welcome was warm and friendly- thank you Ann and Dave for all your advice and help. Hope we can visit again soon.
Rusland view Superb cottage great views from the windows and great walks from the cottage , great shower after long walks and log fire was nice and cosy .

Spotlessly clean in the most picturesque surroundings . We love this cottage and will return whoever we can . Anne and David are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble . Thank you
Many thanks to Ann and David for allowing us to stay in their wonderful cottage.
It was everything one could wish for in a holiday retreat, comfy, warm and extremely well equipped. Hoping to return providing our joints allow! The fresh flowers and home baked cakes were much appreciated by us, and as for the dog biscuits, Truffle loved them!
The most perfect, beautiful little cottage you could imagine.
Ive never known quite like it. The pictures don’t do the cottage justice, it’s so cozy, wish we could have stayed longer than 3 nights. Anne, the host left us tea, coffee cake and dog treats
Our stay was exemplary and the welcoming gifts we received we a lovely touch.
Anne and Dave we extremely helpful hosts. Would definitely stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday at Rusland View.
The cottage was very well equipped , cosy and comfortable. The owners were very friendly. We loved the area and the cottage so much that we have already booked again to return in 2023. Would highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you to Anne and David for a lovely week in their comfortable, welcoming cottage.
We unfortunately had an unforeseen very long journey but Anne kept in contact and assured us our late arrival would not be a problem, she was on hand to welcome us and show us around. The cake went down a treat with a cup of tea too! The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped and so peaceful. We were in a perfect position to explore the area and we would recommend a walk up to Gummer’s How, which Anne recommended, the views were spectacular. All in all a lovely week in a lovely cottage in lovely surroundings! Perfect.
We spent a great time in Rusland View .
The owner was very helpful . Big Thank you for lovely time .
The cottage was excellent.
We didn't however appreciate the extremely patronising email from Sykes at the end of our stay telling us what state to leave the accommodation in. It makes us less inclined to book with you again.
The property that we stayed in was very good clean and spacious, We was given free tea , coffee, biscuits and logs for the log fire.
We highly recommend this cottage, The owners where very helpful and friendly, l can’t praise these owners and the cleanness of the property enough. We would go back to this place again if we come back to the Lake District. Thank you again to the owners of the place and to the company. Ian and Maureen and the two dogs.
Wonderful cottage, in a great location, friendly and helpful hosts, couldn't have been better.
A beautiful cottage - a little bit of a squeeze getting out of bed in the night but not a lot can be done to resolve that.
A really lovely place.Would recommend to our friends. Donna
We had a lovely time at Rusland View.
It’s a charming cottage in an idyllic, peaceful location. Anne and Dave were really welcoming and helpful. The cottage is well fitted out, with a west-facing terrace so you can eat outside in the evening with the sun on your face, which is a real treat in the Lakes. It’s also nice and private. One thing we really appreciated after a long day walking was a proper shower - the number of times you go to a lovely cottage only to have to deal with some dribbling Triton thing, but not here. Altogether a lovely weekend.
We had a lovely holiday Dave looked after us as Anne was away and he was very helpful the cottage was lovely had some great walks on the doorstep
Lovely little property in a beautiful location.
High standards of cleanliness & comfort. Owners are lovely people too, willing to help & assist with anything. We couldn't;t really ask for more for a short break on our way home from Scotland.
Lovely location for base to explore the lakes Super friendly owners Lovely local pubs/ food ( especially Manor House)
Rusland View was a little gem that we are so glad we found.
The cottage is beautiful and so peaceful, with everything that you need for an enjoyable break. Thank you for your warm welcome - we hope to be back at some point.
Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time staying here. The cottage is in a beautiful location with lovely views from the windows. It was spotless and had that fresh, clean linen smell as soon as you get into bed from a tiring day exploring! Also had a lovely touch to enter into the cottage to fresh daffodils and homemade cakes. We loved having the fire on in the evenings and sitting outside listening to the owls. I'm unable to suggest any improvements as it was all spot on for us. Anne and David were also so friendly and informative. Thank you both so much for such a pleasant stay!
The cottage was warm, clean and cosy.
On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. Fresh cake waiting for us with a pint of milk, coffee and teabags was indeed very thoughtful. Shower was nice and hot. Bed was firm but very comfortable. Sofa was leather and if you've ever sat one it feels really cold, but a blanket solved that issue! Views over the hills changed daily which was so lovely to see from the dining table. Ideal central location albeit several miles down a lane! for discovering the whole area. Ann went out of her way to make my birthday special. At the request of my hubby via email to her, there was surprise flowers and balloons waiting for me ( obviously at extra expense ) but it was such a memorable moment
Excellent accommodation in great condition.
Clean throughout with rustic living room and bedroom and well kept, tidy kitchen with everything you need for a short stay. Location was good for access to walks locally and a short drive to windermere and hawkshead. Cakes and dog biscuits upon arrival were a lovely touch and the hosts were welcoming. Would love to go back in the summertime.
Great hosts, nothing too much trouble.
Beautiful cottage in idyllic surroundings. Ideally situated for the many walks in the area. Good drive away to local shops etc Local pub is a good hours walk away or drive (15mins) great pub food, warm welcome and dogs very welcome. The only thing I might suggest is some form of a gate at the bottom of the stairs to stop dogs going upstairs.
We would just like to say a massive thank you for our stay at your beautiful cottage.
The pictures didn’t do it justice, it really was such a beautiful cottage we would love to come back to stay again. It was a little cold inside at times but with the time of year and it being an old cottage it is to be expected. The fire was a real treat too in the evenings. My partner absolutely loved the shower! Said it was the best she’s had in years! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with, and we loved the views from all the rooms. Especially beautiful to wake up to in the morning. My partner literally laid at the bottom of the bed watching the clouds drift across the scenic views for ages with a cup of tea bought to her in bed. The walk up to High Dam was amazing, literally up the road which was lovely. The folder of things to do was helpful and we left a board game for other guests to use in the future. We bought cards with us but in the evening it’s nice to have a board game to play instead of the tv. Another lovely treat was the slices of cake waiting for us on arrival. Perfect with a cup of tea after a long journey. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough. Beautiful location, helpful, pleasant hosts. Thank you so much for the most perfect weekend.
We had an amazing time here, the cottage was lovely and it was so nice to come home after some incredible hikes and relax by the fire!
It was so nice to be able to take our dog as well so he could enjoy the Lake District. We will always love the area after this trip and definitely will want to come back and explore more!!!
Fantastic little cottage, larger than I expected and wonderfully helpful hosts next door.
Really relaxing to be able to light the fire when I got back late afternoon from a day out and the dogs and I could just sit down and chill in peace and quiet. Beautiful area too.
An amazing little cottage.
Beautiful inside and out. Almost every utensil can be found in the kitchen and there is a good array of guidance in the handbook. However, it would be useful if there was guidance for the fireplace (for those not experienced at lighting and maintaining wood fires) in the handbook and warning on the listing site about the roads leading into and away from the cottage which are narrow and can be unnerving in the dark especially (for drivers who aren't used to these scenic roads).
Enjoyed a week’s stay in this lovely, cosy cottage situated in a quiet hamlet in the Rusland valley south of Hawkshead.
A great base to explore from on foot on the many local footpaths or to venture wider afield. The cottage is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Would definitely recommend for those looking for some peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.
We had a lovely stay at Rusland View.
Anne and David were welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts. The cottage was very comfortable, ideal for two people. The kitchen/diner is much bigger than it appears in the photos and very well equipped. We enjoyed the log burner too, which made the living room very cosy. The area is very beautiful, unspoilt and quiet with nice walks and pubs nearby.
I recently spent a wonderful week at Rusland View with my 2 westies.
The owners were warm and welcoming and couldn’t have done more to make my stay a memorable one and this on the back of the whole area being without power for days following a storm. The cottage is ideally situated to explore the Lakes. Cosy, comfortable with all that you need for a relaxing stay in this beautiful part of the world. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxed stay.
The property was lovely and cosy and the hosts couldn’t do enough for us.
It was just unfortunate that due to the power cut our 50th birthday celebrations were ruined and we had to cut short our stay
Lovey, cosy cottage in a beautiful setting.
A great base to explore the lakes and villages ect. Owners very nice, helpful and welcoming. The milk, cakes and biscuits also fresh flowers were nice touch when we arrived. Would highly recommend. We stayed in mid November and the cottage is very warm with the log burner lit, enjoyed this after long winter walks.
A beautiful cottage, in a beautiful place.
The cottage had everything we could have possibly needed, and the local walks are breathtaking. The homemade cakes, and fresh flowers that welcomed us on arrival were a lovely touch. The owners were brilliant, offering their knowledge of the local area, and were happy to lend us their rucksack, as we forgot to take ours with us ..... again! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.... its simply perfect.
Exceeded all expectations from the warm reception to the farewell wave.
Ideal place for a getaway stay
Had a wonderful holiday exploring the many quiet walks in and around the Rusland Valley.
The cottage was comfortable, relaxing and well equipped. Anne and Dave could not have been more friendly and helpful. Looking forward to another return visit!
The cottage was lovely and in a great location.
The owners were both really nice and made sure we were comfortable and happy with the cottage. The only thing that would stop me staying here again would be the lack of an enclosed garden for the dogs. Other than that, brilliant cottage and hosts.
If you want peace and quiet this is the place to go.
A beautiful cottage away from the crowds, it had everything we needed and more. David and Anne were very accommodating and the home-made cakes on arrival were a lovely treat after a long drive. We were so lucky with the weather, the walks in the forests were a great way to escape the heat! Will definitely be back.
Total relaxation, the cottage was everything we wanted for a complete getaway.
The facilities were second to none & the bed was so comfy . We will definitely be back.
Beautiful cottage in lovely setting, owners extremely welcoming, sad to leave
Beautiful cottage in an idyllic spot.
Immaculately presented throughout. Owners on site, very friendly, made sure we were happy with everything. The only sounds we could hear were the birds -and we visited during a very busy bank holiday. Would love to revisit, many thanks
we enjoyed a lovely week at Rusland cottage, Dave and Ann were friendly and very helpful.
Beautiful scenery..... from opening the door straight out into the country walks, would recommend and definitely go again.
The cottage was accurately described on your website.
It was perfect for 2 and we had a lovely week. We would be happy to return another time.
We spent a wonderful week at Rusland View.
David and Anne were very welcoming hosts, and shared with us the wildlife of the area and lots of nice walks. The cottage is warm and cosy and in a great location for getting out into the Coniston and Langdale fells.
A beautiful, cosy, inviting cottage with exceptional attention to detail throughout.
Welcoming and very friendly owners in a stunning area of the Lake District. Ideal location for nature lovers and walkers like us who very much appreciated the peacefulness this perfect escape gave us. We shall be visiting again in the future and would highly recommend this idyllic getaway.
We booked here for a quick getaway before Xmas.
We spent a couple of days looking for somewhere that had everything we wanted and within our budget so when we are across this one it was put in the 'maybe' category with my only hesitation being the lack of reviews I could find so it felt a bit of a gamble. I needn't have worried though as the cottage was absolutely perfect and even better than we could have hoped. It was quiet, well appointed and with character and charm (as well as being much bigger than the photos suggest). The place was even decorated for Xmas which added to the charm. We were welcomed by the hosts who followed all Covid secure protocols and even had some freshly made shortbread waiting for us in the kitchen. The cottage is a bit out of the way, which was what we were looking for, but easy to find and with ample parking. It was easy enough to get to p,aces ,ike Ambleside and Windermere and close to some fantastic walks that we found in the books in the living room. Me, my partner and the dog had a brilliant time and would 100% book to go back again. Thanks for a perfect stay 10/10.
The property was great, it felt much bigger than it was.
The owners were friendly and very helpful. First day able to walk from the door using one of the leaflets provided in the cottage.
We loved this holiday!
! The property was beautiful and so was the location. It felt like home for a week. Amazing hosts, great attention to detail throughout the cottage. We can not wait to come back.
wonderful location beautiful cottage helpful and friendly five-stars
