  • "Lovely little cottage and a great stay!"

    We really enjoyed our time here. The cottage is small but super cosy — two comfy bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, with a snug little living room and a surprisingly big, well-equipped kitchen/diner downstairs. It had everything we needed and felt very homely. The owner was lovely and really helpful too. A few things to note: the stairs are quite steep, so maybe not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, and the stone step by the door can be a bit slippery if it’s wet. There’s also no lock on the bathroom door, just something to be aware of. It was a bit tricky to find at first (our Satnav sent us to the wrong place!), and mobile signal in the area is very poor — but the Wi-Fi in the cottage is excellent and super reliable. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely stay again. I’m sure you’ll love it too!

    Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you had a good stay. Property Owner

The property

Whitecroft Nook is a charming, characterful two-bedroom holiday cottage resting in the picturesque Lake District village of Gosforth in Cumbria.It seamlessly blends original period features with modern comforts and a colourful twist!

The cottage offers convenient roadside parking out front, a shared rear courtyard (which can be used to enjoy morning coffee or store your bikes) and a superb location just a short stroll from the closest amenities.

This lovely, terraced home welcomes singles, couples, families or group of up to four friends.It is ideal for those who are looking to book a relaxing or active, fuss-free stay within the Lake District National Park in a traditional Lakeland cottage with modern finishes.

Whitecroft Nook is a thoughtfully decorated property where vibrant colours reflect the surrounding countryside: the red, iron-rich earth, the lush green forest, the deep blue lake and the yellow flashes of gorse bushes are all echoed in the interior design.A cosy sitting room with stripped wooden floors, a log burner and exposed original stonework, invites you and your loved ones to relax and unwind as you plan your holiday itinerary over a bottle of wine.Or perhaps to settle in for a box set on the smart TV.Meanwhile, a fully-equipped kitchen/diner houses all of the appliances the chosen chef will need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner that can be enjoyed at the oak breakfast bar.In this space, local slate, copper tones and rich colours create a relaxed atmosphere and continue to marry the old with the new.

Upstairs, the blend of modern comforts and period features continue in two well appointed bedrooms.A double and a twin.Both bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with bath and shower over.Bedding and towels are provided.

When you’re ready to venture out, lace up your boots and set off to explore what’s on offer in Gosforth and beyond.A brief walk will take you to the Gosforth Bakery and the Yam Frae Yam Café, where tasty baked treats and a coffee can be savoured, respectively.During your time in the village, be sure to also pop into Gosforth Hall Inn and The Kellbank for hearty pub food, whilst a peaceful walk along the River Bleng to Blengdale Forest is also a must.The local church is also well worth a visit and in the churchyard you will spot the tallest Viking cross in Cumbria.A short drive (or cycle if you have brought bikes) will take you to Wast Water, the deepest lake in England and voted the best view in Britain.There are many beautiful spots along the lakeshore for wild swimming, paddle boarding, walking, picnics or simply enjoying nature.At Wasdale Head, a tiny hamlet at the end of the lake, you will find a great walkers pub, a historic church, and the car park which is often used as the starting point for hikers climbing Scafell Pike - the highest mountain in England.Also within easy reach of Gosforth there are delightful villages such as Nether Wasdale and Ravenglass, stunning waterfalls such as Stanley Ghyll and the crystal clear Eskdale natural pools for the brave to wild swim or dip!

For those seeking coastal delights why not visit nearby Seascale for bucket and spade fun or St Bees Head for invigorating cliff walks and seabirds.Alternatively (and ideal for rainy days) why not visit Muncaster Castle and Owl Sanctuary or take a trip on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway.Guaranteed to be a hit with families of all ages!

For a full day out, jump in the car and head into northern or central lakes where you and your group can experience some of the country’s most iconic landscapes and attractions, such as the mountain range of Helvellyn, the National Trust sites of Tarn Hows, Townend, and The Langdales, as well as the spectacular waters of Windermere, Coniston, Ullswater, and Derwentwater.

A holiday at Whitecroft Nook is the perfect base for making memories for sole adventurers, couples, families and groups of friends.
