About this property

Ellwood House is an 18th century cottage located in the village of Caldbeck. This wonderfully appointed cottage houses three spacious bedrooms, complete with elegant finishes throughout to create the perfect base for families and friends. The ground floor houses a cosy sitting room, complete with a warming wood-burning stove, making this the perfect place to snuggle up during a cold winter’s evening. The well-equipped contemporary kitchen, designed with an elegant and fresh atmosphere, ensures that your stay is as pleasurable as possible. Enjoy your lovingly prepared meals within the formal dining room, boasting a comfortable seating arrangement for six guests. Located on the first floor are the contemporary spacious bedrooms, comprising a double, a super king double (which can be made a twin upon request) and a further twin bedroom, each oozing a sense of luxury. Completing the first floor is a luxury family bathroom, featuring a bath, power shower over, heated towel rail, basin and WC. During the summer evenings, you and your guests can enjoy the large, secluded enclosed garden with patio furniture and BBQ, while the dogs stretch their legs. The BBQ has a cast iron fire pit bowl where everyone can be seated to enjoy its warmth on cooler evenings. You will also find a large barn/utility room outside, which is ideal for storing your bikes. Take a walk into Caldbeck centre, where you will find the local pub, tea rooms and the village shop, taking you just 10 minutes. This cottage is situated on the northern fringe of Lake District National Park, with easy access to the market town of Keswick, as well as Lakes Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The Solway Firth coast and Carlisle are easily accessible to the West and North. The area also plays host to a number of renowned heritage sites including, Threlkeld Mining Museum, the Howk limestone gorge and waterfalls, the 19th century Bobbin Mill and the Priest’s Mill, where you can enjoy the tea room and the historic waterwheel. Ellwood House with its lovely garden is ideally suited to unwind with friends and family after a busy day out exploring the fells and coast of the Northern Lakes and Solway Firth.

    A lovely 10 min walk to the centre of caldbeck which has a great pub, village shop and a lovely cafe. The cottage was warm and welcoming and the communication from the owners was exceptional. We will definitely be returning.

    Only two of us (plus mutt) so plenty of space. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and layout of the cottage. We had a fire going a number of nights and the provided firewood was very welcome but the house itself was comfy - we just like log fires. The owner was in touch as necessary and was very friendly (even though we didn't meet in person!) and was very responsive to all queries. The wifi was great, allowing us to stream Spotify and if necessary stream to the TV. Throws were provided in case of dogs jumping which was very thoughtful. There were loads of walking ideas in pamphlets and books in the cupboards and some interesting books so we didn't get bored. Extra freezer storage was in the 'barn' attached to the house which proved useful. We used the twin-bed-into-one humungous bed which was very comfortable. The owner very kindly offered a cleaning between the two weeks; we declined that as I'd only be scrubbing the day before so they didn't think I was messy, but we gratefully received new bedding and towels. We liked the area immensely. The house is on what seems to be a nexus of walking points so we wandered around the local area, and also popped into Keswick for lovely-but-expensive Boothe's and a great walk around Derwentwater. Due to it being on the northern tip of the Lakes it wasn't full of, well, people like us and day-trippers so it was very peaceful. We can recommend 'The Muddy Duck' kiosk; they sold nice dog treats so our furry friend kept dragging us there. The local pub is pretty good and the one in Hasket Newmarket even better (good beer!) but if you want food there make sure to book as you can't just walk in; dogs are welcome at both pubs. The Windmill Cafe is OK, if you have a dog you must sit outside so it is weather dependent. One of the highlights of course was the milk vending machine. I had sort of expected a cow, a bucket and a coin slot but it is higher tech and provides 1litre pasteurised full-fat milk into a customer-provided bottle at a reasonable price (contactless payment). The weather wasn't with us but we had a great time and will be back at some point!

    We found it really well equipped , with everything you needed, beautifully furnished and well maintained. Very convenient for places to visit, and a lovely village location. Would definitely recommend it and will most definitely return one day. Stuart was very helpful and checked in with us regularly, checking everything was OK.
