The Experience
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.

We had a wonderful week at this cosy and lovely cottage. The weather was amazing and we spend many days hiking straight from the back door through the beautiful landscape up and down the Lake District mountains. Gina and Richard are lovely and helpful hosts which gave us lots and lots of tips what to do and where to go. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxed holiday. It has a well-equipped and spacious kitchen, beds are super comfy and the garden is full of birds. A wonderful get-away-from-it-all place to stay!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, cosy, welcoming cottage with us. What a special week we’ve had here. We loved exploring Lucy’s Wood and will always remember our exhilarating wild swim in the Beck! We couldn’t have asked for a more idyllic and tranquil setting....a very special place to celebrate and spend my birthday. We hope to return again soon, Love and thanks

What a wonderful place you have- it has everything one could want and more to create a most memorable holiday! You two have been such fabulous hosts-we sincerely hope to be back again. Walking around Lucy’s Wood along the celandine strewn banks of the Aira Beck was such a joy. Jen the Dog was a superstar too! Thank you!!

Location
The neighbourhood
You're at the head of the remote valley. Nature lovers, photographers and wildlife seekers will be in their element. Lake District activities abound with Penrith 20 minutes away and the Rheged centre, on the A66, with galleries, exhibitions, cinema and shops selling local produce. Hop on an Ullswater Steamer to get your bearings from the water, wild swim, paddle board or wander the woodlands.
Local points of interest from Will & Carla
- 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.

Introducing
Will & Carla
Will and Carla live in the adjoining barn conversion. They are escapees from London and relish their new home with its unique position and remoteness. They hope you enjoy the house and its surroundings as much as they do.
We had 4 blissful days at Crookwath Cottage and didn’t want to leave. What a perfect place with stunning views and so many fantastic walks in the surrounding beautiful countryside. The house was perfect, cozy and comfortable, and equipped with everything you need. We will definitely come back. It was our idea of a perfect holiday.
