About this property

Stylish and charming apartment in peaceful rural location near beautiful Ullswater, perfect for an escape into the heart of the Lake District.

Matterdale is a beautiful, peaceful retreat within touching distance of Ullswater. Catch a steamer that calls at four landing stages around the lake, or use the service one way and return along the popular walking routes admiring the lovely views. For hillwalkers, try the hike up Helvellyn, one of the highest mountains in the Lake District, or explore the area around Aira Force where a variety of paths lead through mixed woodland to various viewpoints.
