About this property

4 Star Cottage With Games Room, In Lovely Scenery Near Bassenthwaite

Emerald Bank Cottage is situated in the most spectacular northern part of the Lake District. It looks like a traditional lakeland cottage but has every modern appliance including an electric car charging point and superfast fibre broadband.

It has everything you’ll need for a walking or family holiday in the Lake District - including, maps, walking books, boot racks, dog basket/bowls and a games room with table football and air hockey.

The cottage is situated in Uldale, a small rural village in the Lake District National Park between Bassenthwaite Lake and Caldbeck. The village has a tea room, tennis court and playground.

This part of Cumbria is beautiful and quiet, excellent for walking away from the crowds. There are walks straight from the door, with sightings of birds of prey and red squirrels commonplace. The lakes of Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock, Derwent, Ullswater, Loweswater, Ennerdale are a short drive away.

Friends get together
Great base for an active outdoor holiday, close enough to the main areas of Lake District and far enough out for some peace and quiet. Originally booked for 6 but only 4 of us managed to make the trip, but there is ample room and the property is comfortable. It was an ideal base for us.

Excellent holiday cottage!!
The cottage was lovely. We had 3 couples and mother in law in our party and the property was ideal. Plenty of room, dog friendly and great selection of games and dvds. Would book again!

Fantastic stay!
A lovely home, set in an idyllic village in Northern Lakes, with a wonderful views of Skiddaw from just round the corner! A great, spacious and perfectly laid out property for our two families. The Games Room was a particular hit! We enjoyed a lovely log fire in the evenings after a day out walking. Wonderful walks from the doorstep and a short drive to Keswick. A wonderful stay and excellent hosts too, We highly recommend!

Lovely stay
We had a lovely week at the cottage and there was plenty of room for six of us, including two teenagers. The location is rural and I'd planned some activities in advance, to lure our teenagers outside. They particularly enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking at Derwentwater. The location suited us as we wanted somewhere quiet to go with grandparents. The cottage has a field with cows opposite, which regularly walked backwards and forwards on the road outside, to a farm. We ate out a few times at the Snooty Fox pub in the village and also the Oddfellows pub in Calbeck. The cottage is ideally situated for rural walks and bike rides, you just have to expect some mud! We rode to Whinlatter and up Honister pass from there, as well as doing some local walks. Thanks for a good stay!

A lovely stay in a great cottage
The cottage is lovely and cosy, and a great location to explore the northern lakes - close enough to Keswick to pop in for shopping and sightseeing, but far enough away to feel quiet and relaxed during half term. The enclosed patio at the rear of the property was lovely for evening sun, and a nice safe place for the children to play. Communication was great, the owner checked in with us on our first day to see if we had all we needed which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely recommend this cottage to others, we will certainly look to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Kay Wesley

Host profile image
We are Kay and Mike Wesley. We live in Cheshire and we have five children and a dog. We all love the great outdoors, walking, picnicking and just messing about in the countryside. We like the Highlands of Scotland and the Lake District best. We have been to the cottage lots and it is a really lovely place to just hang out, somehow seems really easy to be there and everyone is always in a good mood. Several family members have also been with gangs of friends too, which is great, and lots of friends' families have stayed. Everyone loves it and wants to come back again. So do we!

Why they chose this property

We chose Emerald Bank Cottage because it is in our favourite part of the Lakes 'where the crowds don't go' and the scenery here is breathtaking, without any litter, noise or traffic. The northern Lakes are just fabulous. I think our favourite is possibly Loweswater, which hardly anyone visits, but is just lovely and a nice 5 miles round to walk with woodland and fell included in the walk. Follow it up with Steak and Ale Pie at the Kirkstile Inn and their own brewed beer. Lovely Buttermere is beautiful with a flat 4-mile walk round and also with a couple of good pubs for lunch at one end. Crummock Water is also fantastic and very quiet, with a lovely walk through the woods at the north end.

What makes this property unique

We've tried to think of everything we have ever wanted on all the many self-catering holidays we have been on. People remark on how well-equipped it is, from plenty of wine glasses to the iPod dock. And everyone loves the games room for evening competitions! We know how annoying it is when there is nowhere to hang your wet cagoule so we had the utility room extended to include a drying area with hooks above a big radiator, and boot racks too. We included a dog basket and dog bowls, and even bird feeders in the garden. We've added a hose in the side yard to wash your muddy boots and dog. We've included Ordinance Survey Maps of the whole Lake District as well as a number of good walking books.

Our approach has worked, everyone loves staying here as much as we do - hope you do, too!
