Fabulous cottage in a perfect location
Definitely the best cottage we have ever found Mr & Mrs Whalley 1-7April 2017
About the Owner
About Victoria Brown
Causeway House is managed by Jonathan and Victoria. We have worked extensively throughout 2014 to completely renovate the cottage using local skilled work where needed.
We have enjoyed many family holidays here over the years as we hope you will too.
Victoria Brown purchased this cottage in 1955
Why Victoria Brown chose Penrith, East Lakes & Eden Valley
Causeway House feels like a home from home, and the views have to be seen to be believed. We are a perfect base for many of the walks around the Ullswater area too.
After the full internal refurbishment in 2014 the cottage has a wonderfully cosy atmosphere whilst still keeping hold of the old cottage feel. This is not a small cottage though, so there's plenty of room for up to 6 adults to comfortably relax.
What makes this cottage unique
Arriving at Causeway House is like taking a deep breath...it is the start of a wonderful relaxing break surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. Whether it's a long walk over the hills, crossing the lake by steamer, or simply relaxing by the fire with a good book, we always enjoy a full recharge of our batteries.
The kitchen is a warm and inviting space with wonderful meals cooked on the Aga. Or alternatively we take a 5 minute drive to the Brothers Water Inn for a friendly welcome and a delicious locally sourced meal.
Being surrounded by sheep in the fields outside provides an endless source of entertainment too, as does watching Peter the farmer, and Burt the dog round up the sheep each day.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We thoroughly enjoyed our New Year break at Causeway House. A lovely, snug cottage, with the warmth of the aga and log burner bringing the family together. Standing in stunning scenery, with great hikes from the front door, we made the most of the clear, crisp days that we were so fortunate to get. We hope to return soon to take on striding edge, but in less icy conditions

Comfy, clean cottage if a little old fashioned.
Had a lovely weekend. Only slight disappointment was that when we arrived the cottage was REALLY cold and the aga had been left on very low which meant it took a long time to get comfortable and prepare a meal. Cottage was clean and comfortable. Could do with a few baking trays and furniture etc is very old fashioned but had everything we needed for our stay..
Fabulous cottage in a perfect location
We stayed here for our minimoon to relax and chill out. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect cottage in an ideal location. The cottage is a home from home. Our " neighbours" the lambs and sheep were a joy to watch . Location was superb as we where roughly 30 minutes from Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick. Beautiful drive along Kirkstone Pass and The Struggle down to Ambleside.
Definitely the best cottage we have ever found Mr & Mrs Whalley 1-7April 2017
Super locatieen schoon en gezellig huis
Perfect location for hiking. Clean, warm and well equiped house. Interior is cosy (oftewel gezellig). Village shop walking distance. Nice views.
Great cottage in a great location
Perfect for us (a party of six). The cottage was clean, tidy, comfortable, warm, nicely decorated and furnished, perfectly situated. The beds were comfortable and the quilts were warm. Well-equipped kitchen - the Aga was an experience in itself – much experimental baking by the stay-at-homes!
We walked and cycled without needing to use the car.
We have stayed in many cottages – many of which were more expensive than this one – and not as good.
If we can, we’ll be back.
Warmly recommended.
A welcoming, cosy cottage
We had a a great time in Causeway House. We went on lots of walks, scrambles, sailed ,canoed and climbed! Most of which we could do without a car or a very short car journey. We were very lucky with the weather too. The Aga and fire made the cottage very warm, which was lovely.
Clean, well maintained, cozy and easy to make your temporary home
Would definitely return to this home!
