  • "A wonderful cottage in the perfect location for exploring Ullswater and surrounding areas."

    The views are spectacular (from every window) and there is an abundance of wildlife which we happily watched every morning whilst eating our breakfast (my 11 and 15 year olds didn’t touch their mobile phones!!). The cottage was a home from home with everything supplied (bed linen, towels, cutlery etc.) and we absolutely loved our 3 night stay. The information provided by Ged and Julie prior to our stay was most helpful and they were happy to help with any questions we had. If you are looking for a ‘get away from it all’ place to stay we would highly recommend Winder Ghyll.

    Thank you so much for such great feedback. We look forward to you visiting us again. Property Owner

To freshen yourself up for the day, head into the bathroom, where you can indulge in a warm bath, or take a rinse in the steamy shower before heading out for a day out.

Outside, your loyal companions can relish some time in the secure dog field during the summer season, and when you're ready to explore further, you'll find a plethora of outdoor activities like hiking, rambling, and watersports available for your enjoyment.
