A delightful country house set in the heart of Lakeland

Castle Rock Cottage is a delightful country house set in the stunning scenery of the English Lake District. Recently renovated to the highest standard, Castle Rock is a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the fells, lakes and villages of Lakeland. Whether you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful break, or a fun family holiday, a warm welcome awaits you at Castle Rock.
Castle Rock Cottage is located at the heart of The Lake District, near the shores of Thirlmere. It is situated in an elevated position in the tiny quiet hamlet of The Green, Thirlmere, and has wonderful views to the south and west from the windows and garden. The cottage is a semi-detached house on two floors and has a large private garden, with outdoor eating area, and also a walled back yard. Newly renovated, it has been tastefully decorated and furnished, provided with all mod cons, and offers you the perfect venue for your explorations of Lakeland.
Venues for walking, mountain biking, rock climbing, paragliding, boating, and many other activities are all nearby and of course the bustling local towns of Keswick, Grasmere and Ambleside are within easy reach.
The cottage is located on a private road in the secluded valley of St John's in the Vale, yet it is just 10 minutes by car to the Lakeland hubs of Keswick and Grasmere. There are plenty of delightful walks and mountain hikes, right from the door, the beautiful lake of Thirlmere just a few minutes away, and of course all the other attractions of The Lake District are within easy reach.

Cozy house in Thirlmere
Delightful country home with excellent communal areas. The kitchen was ideal for us. We’d love to cook and spend time at a big table and it was warm and cozy and friendly and cheerful. The living room is excellent and such a well-equipped bookshelf we couldn’t have even dreamed of. Everything we needed was there including the fireplace and enough beds and bed sheets and towels. We were warm and cozy and in a great location to access many other Lake District points of interest and hiking trail heads.

Second time here
It's great. That's why we came again. The location is peaceful and there are quite a few good local walks like Dob Gill and High Rigg where you rarely meet anyone else. Cottage is cosy and has everything you need. Plenty of hot water etc. We will probably come again another year.

Another great stay
Second time here, and we loved it as much as before. Spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Not a scrap of chintz in sight.

First timers in the area
Lovely quiet property with great views set back from the road gave the feeli g of being remote but in fact it was really easy to access the towns and lakes in the aren It had everything we needed for a family break with 6 adults and two dogs. The house info book was a great help particularly the routs of suggested walks direct from the cottage. The younger members of the group even ventured a refreshing dip in the waterfall up behind the house!!!

Spectacular again
This cottage is in a spectacular location at the foot of Castle Rock. The views are stunning and you couldn’t want to be in a better location to explore The Lakes; Keswick, Ullswater, Buttermere, Windermere are all within a short drive. There are stunning walks from the front door too. The cottage itself is wonderful. Plenty of room, well kitted out for an outdoors lifestyle (including a wet dog), a big kitchen and cosy lounge with a fantastic log burner to enjoy snuggling up after a day in the fresh air. It is all decorated in a homely way and very welcoming to return to. We were pleased with the cottage last time and the owner has continued to make improvements since we were last there. He is easy to contact and quick to respond with any problems (we forgot the property information so needed his help to get in!). All in all, a delightful stay and we will definitely be returning!
