Deep in the Lake District, a well-loved family home with open fires and heavenly views, a private woodland and a short walk to a good pub

Read guest comments

The drive from the main road is stunning: narrow, twisty and with wide sensational views at every turn; you are in the quietest valley but still at 1,200 feet. Your cottage, like any well-loved family home, is crammed with original art, photographs, books, games, open fires – plenty to keep young and old happy. The kitchen is big, beamed and Aga-simmered; a squishy sofa at one end next to an overflowing bookcase ensures whoever cooks will have company. You'll find a homemade cake and a bottle of prosecco to launch you into holiday mode.

Views soar through every window over the stunning hills, beckoning you outdoors, but if it's raining it'll be lovely to snuggle in with a book beside the open fire in the long sitting room. Comfortable bedrooms have equally lovely views.

Wander your own woodland, walk straight onto the fell from the cottage to Helvellyn, the Dodds and Gowbarrow, walk 15 minutes into Dockray for good pub food.

Walk straight onto the fell from Crookwath. Many walks from the doorstep, Helvellyn, the Dodds, Gowbarrow, Birket Fell and our own private 25 acre woodland with the Aira Beck flowing through it and 15min walk onto the Royal Hotel for great food and drinks.
BBQ in Lucys Wood overlooking our ponds and Gowbarrow Fells, chill with sounds of water and birdsong all around you...midday is best when the Barn gets all the south facing sun.
Keswick's bustling saturday street market offers wide range of local foods, cheeses, organic meat and veg. Great art galleries and outdoor shops to explore in all weathers.
Fell horse riding, fishing with Hemmingways, quad biking available, only 2 miles from Crookwath cottage.
A Gem - Theatre by the Lake offers great entertainment in Keswick throughout the year, including Mountain Film Festival.
Ullswater is close by with many wild swimming spots, sailing, the Ullswater steamers, trail running and beautiful walks around the shores.

"Back for our 3rd visit. Crookwath is our home from home, welcomed by its warmth, the Aga, lit wood burner on arrival & Richard's homemade Biscuits. The most homliest cottage we have ever stayed in. It suits us all, some of us prefer reading and painting & I can walk the fells direct from the front door. We've enjoyed using the BBQ at the Barn in Lucy's Wood and dared go wild swimming in Gina's "special" place in Aira Beck. We just love the tranquility and peace of this place, not a sound apart from nature. We've been car free all week...just no need to go anywhere, this is a heavenly place."

""The weather has been wild with wind, snow and sunshine! Bringing our supplies in by sled will be a very fond memory. We've been warm and cosy in Crookwath - I love the Aga." "

"As soon as I hit the Crookwath web site I knew this was the right place for us. What a relief after all those blind alleys. And when we arrived the pictures were even more truthful than they were on the web. We were welcomed like friends and our hosts wanted to do everything to make our holiday a happy one. We will be back and we will pass on the good news but really we would like to keep this place a secret."
