Crookwath Cottage

Lovely cottage for exploring the northern / eastern lakes - warm, comfortable and charming. Peacefully located in a gorgeous valley with wonderful views and great walking, this is as perfect a holiday rental as you could hope for.

A magical family trip to this perfect, peaceful valley. We have now stayed in both Crookwath Cottage and the Barn in recent years and these are both truly special, cosy places - which you will find difficult to leave each day even with the many adventures that await. It's the ideal spot to abandon your car for a week or so and enjoy exploring the inspiring landscape on your doorstep. Lucy's Wood, the river and the hills around you, surrounded by nature as well as many lambs and calfs during our stay in Spring. You will leave completely relaxed and revived. Lovely hosts in Richard and Gina.

Richard and Geena are marvelous hosts. Our family of 5 were welcomed on the Friday and we were immediately impressed with the views, the constant hot water and cosy kitchen (we practically lived in the kitchen it was such a perfect spot). The bedrooms were great and comfortable with great linen and spotless clean. We LOVED our daily walk to Lucy’s Wood and were lucky enough to have some fine weather on our last night so we had a memorable bbq in Lucy’s Wood next to the barn. Richard could not have been more helpful providing us with wellies for all so we could make the most of our stay!

What a wonderful week in beautiful Dockray. Crisp fell walks on frosty April mornings, clear blue skies and the children playing in Lucy's wood. Crookwath cottage was the perfect retreat: board games by the fire, making delicious meals in a well equipped kitchen, cappuccino in the morning with the milk warming on the Aga and curling up with a book in the evening sun, watching the robin from the master bedroom. This place is idilic. We left feeling relaxed, restored and ready to face the world again.
