The cottage is charming and perfect for our visit to the Lake District. Stuart (the host) was informative and quick with responses. Would definitely stay here again our next visit to the area!
We had a lovely stay at the cottage in Troutbeck.
It was close to the villages of Ambleside & Windemere as well as local hiking trails. The kitchen was well equipped and functional, which allowed us to cook most meals. Modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. Lots of character and the views were lovely. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely location in the country. Quiet and peaceful.Ours was one of 3-4 others nestled together. The views from the walking/hiking paths around our rental were absolutely stunning. The rental was comfortable and had every amenity needed. Windermere was a short drive away. Great restaurants in the area. The manager was very responsive.
The cottage is perfectly situated for hiking. There are amazing trails straight from the cottage, plus others you can find by car. The host, Stuart was helpful and answered any questions we had promptly. The cottage is a delight and the village of Troutbeck away from the crowds.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Troutbeck. The setting was peaceful, surrounded by scenic walking paths right outside the door—and plenty of adorable sheep along the way! It felt like a true countryside escape, yet it was just a short drive to Ambleside and Windermere, which made exploring the Lake District easy . The complimentary afternoon tea at the Old Post Office Tea Room was a nice touch.Just a note that although there is parking infront of the house, it could be used by the neighbors. We managed to get parking everyday we were there.
My partner and I, plus my adult daughter who lives in the UK, had a wonderful (though too brief) stay at Lakelake Cottage in Troutbeck. Most importantly, our host Stuart was very quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay (and beforehand), even while he was in other countries and time zones. We all loved his cottage: it was clean, homey, airy and light, comfortable, well-appointed and had a great view of the various fells nearby. We were there during very hot weather (July, 2026) but we never needed anything other than to open the windows and door to the courtyard to feel comfortable. We had no car, but as noted in the description of the property, we were able to access a number of hikes literally out the front door. We took advantage of the cottage's proximity to The Mortal Man to have dinner there as well as hiring an Uber to the Rowan in Ambleside. We had hoped to pop in to the Old Post Office (less than 10 minutes walk) but usually were so eager just to relax at "home." The kitchen, btw, has (good!) knives and sufficient pots and pans for cooking, though we ended up really not doing much in that line. If one comes to the cottage by train (which we did), Booths is right at the train station, allowing you to stock up on all sorts of necessities and goodies
As beautiful as the pictures are, the house and the location are even better! Close to everything, but a peaceful oasis that is the very best of the Lake District. Stuart was extremely helpful and responsive, and we felt welcome from the moment we stepped over the threshold. The facilities themselves were roomy and the height of comfort. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Thank you!!!
