“The property was amazing in a fantastic location.”

Our toddler loved watching the sheep from all the windows! The kitchen was really well stocked with cooking apparatus and the lounge and beds were comfortable. We had a really lovely (but short!) stay!

“A lovely holiday home in a beautiful and secluded corner of Lakeland.”

The house itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a fortnight's stay. We were also very lucky with the weather so got to sit out on the patio and admire the amazing view of Bowscale Fell. There are plenty of walks from the door, or from Mungrisdale, which is a short drive away. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the owners for a wonderful stay.

“This is our second visit and it is quiet and unspoilt.”

It’s a perfect getaway for the lakes.

“Absolutely lovely house in a gorgeous quiet stunning setting.”

We loved our time here. We slept very well in the comfy bed. The property is well equipped and we were able to cook some meals. Would also recommend a trip to the Mill in a dog friendly pub down the road. We would also recommend a trip to the local pop up cafe in the summer months. Really small points that didn't ruin our stay was the TV is very small (we used a laptop to watch anything online) and no hand soap (I know now not to expect this so would bring some next time). Our little dog needed to stay on the lead when we let her out onto the grass by the driveway as she could have slipped under the gate to join the sheep! The location is brilliant 15-20 mins drive to Keswick and Ullswater. They have local OS maps and suggested walks, we did the Bowscale Tarn one a worthwhile climb! We enjoyed it so much that we would like to bring more people with us next time! Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Anna, June 2024

Thank you for lovely feedback and we are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. I am ordering more soaps and do apologise there was none there for you - please rest assured they will be there next time. Property Owner

“The cottage was excellent, had everything (and more) needed for our short break in the Lakes and great central location for exploring.”

My only recommendation to improve above a 10 out of 10 would be black out blinds/curtains in the bedrooms, we had very early starts with the children waking as soon as the light came up at approx 4am/5am

- Claire, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am delighted you enjoyed your stay. I am looking into black out window coverings. This sort of feedback is very helpful. Property Owner
Ross March 2024

“Very nice cottage, remote location but nice walks from your doorstep, not too far from Keswick if you wish to pop in for a morning or afternoon.”

All the facilities at the cottage are more than you need. The mattress in the travel cot is really firm so you may wish to take a mattress for your little one or a padded sheet.

- Ross, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and hope you will come back to Mosedale soon. Property Owner
Craig August 2023

“Lovely, clean and comfortable cottage in tranquil and remote location, 30 mins from the Central Lakes.”

Walking, rivers and a Tarn on your doorstep and a pub 30 mins walk away with a good menu.

- Craig, August 2023

Many thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

Wendy May 2023

“We had a great half term holiday with friends in the cottage next door.”

Perfect location for exploring the lakes. Great walks direct from the location and an easy walk to the local pub. We’d love to go back again. Highly recommended.

- Wendy, May 2023
Christina April 2023

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

We loved the walk up to Bowscale Tarn, and also climbed up to Carrock Fell straight from the cottage three times, following different routes each time. We found the mattress on the bed in the master bedroom not very comfortable, but the zip and link bed in the second bedroom was luckily much better. The cottage was quite cold when we arrived and no logs were provided, so I’d recommend to take a small supply of logs and kindling for the first evening. Once the storage heaters were warm by the second day it was very warm and we didn’t need to light the fire at all. The shower was lovely and the kitchen very well equipped. It was lovely to sit on the patio in the evening sunshine.

- Christina, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. The owner would like to apologise about the bed in the master bedroom. This was due to a loose bolt which has now been fixed, a topper has also been added for comfort. We are pleased you had a nice stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Property Owner

“A lovely week - more Wainwrights climbed and only one day of rain!”

Gillian August 2022

“We enjoyed a fabulous week in this lovely cottage.”

Mosedale is a lovely, quiet unspoilt corner of the lakes with an abundance of varied walking from the door. The car parking area is spacious and both front and rear garden are dog secure. We particularly enjoyed the Herdwick sheep being herded past the cottage each morning- a delight! We will return!

- Gillian, August 2022
Kibble Family Aug 2022

“Beautiful little cottage.”

Tonnes of hot water once we found the switch to turn it on! Couldn't fault anything and had a wonderful time exploring, hiking and swimming. Honister slate mine activities great for 13 year old! Can't wait to return.

- Kibble Family, Aug 2022
The Sarginson Family Aug 2022

“A fabulous week in a lovely cottage.”

Fell walking and tarn swimming from the door. Segway riding and Llama Trekking adding to the excitement. Loved the sheep!

- The Sarginson Family, Aug 2022
The Ditchfield Family Aug 2022

“A most enjoyable week in a well appointed cottage.”

Excellent location, wonderful weather and great walks! Stunning dark skies!

- The Ditchfield Family, Aug 2022
Ewa, Nick and Sid Jul 2022

“Loved our Lakeland home!”

The tarn and Carroch edge (really steep descent!) were good walks from here. We couldn't swim in the river because of the storm but next time! Thank you!

- Ewa, Nick and Sid, Jul 2022
The Keys Family Jul 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

Very pleased, thanks.

- The Keys Family, Jul 2022
Chris April 2022

“We had a lovely week at 1 Town End - walking the Northern Fells every day, mostly straight from the house.”

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable, with a warm log burning stove. Thanks for a great Easter break!

- Chris, April 2022
Christine January 2022

“It was an absolute joy to stay in this property.”

It’s spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the main bedroom is just stunning. I think it would be a good idea to provide fire making materials for the first night.

- Christine, January 2022
Heather August 2021

“Beautiful cosy holiday home in a stunning location.”

Very well equipped kitchen. Rooms felt spacious but with a cute cottage feel.

- Heather, August 2021
Clare July 2021

“This cottage is gorgeous- views of the fells from every window, really comfortable beds, all the essentials you need in the kitchen, really helpful maps and suggested walks.”

...plenty that go right from the front door (Bowscale tarn- a must for wild swimming especially if the weather is hot- nice water temperature end of July for us), swimming pool in the river caldew, brrrrr!, Carrock fell etc etc) but travelling to other close bits e.g. Helvellyn, Ullswater, Keswick, Derwent water really easy too. Cannot recommend more strongly!

- Clare, July 2021
Fiona May 2021

“Good location for north lakes although a bit off the beaten track.”

Lovely cottage with good facilities. Dishwasher broke down on our last night but otherwise all was well.

- Fiona, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the dishwasher broke down on the last night of your holiday. We have been informed by the owner that they have installed a brand new dishwasher so that it doesn't happen again. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this must have caused.

The property

Situated in a quiet remote corner of the Lake District National Park in the sleepy hamlet of Mosedale is this exceptional farmhouse cottage, offering an idyllic base for a rural family getaway. One Town End welcomes guests into a peaceful retreat, surrounded by scenes of imposing hills and luscious countryside, starting with a lovely enclosed front patio where you can take in the quiet settings either way a morning coffee or evening tipple.

Kick back and relax for an evening inside, enjoying the unique interior filled with character through oak beams and exposed stone walls in the snug sitting room, a lovely spot to curl up with a good book in front of the woodburning stove, or delight in a family film night.

Resting behind is an amply-equipped kitchen/diner, filled with a range of self-catering essentials, as well as a sociable dining table where meals can be enjoyed together.

Continuing to impress is the ground-floor cloakroom, benefiting from a basin, WC and a washing machine.

Retreat to the first floor to unpack in one of the beautiful bedrooms, comprising a king-size, another king-size with zip/link features and a further twin, all with ample storage and access to the shared bathroom for a luxurious bubble bath or brisk shower.

Explore your surroundings and see what Mosedale has to offer, a sleepy hamlet where you can step out for leisurely rambles alongside scenes of nature over to the striking Carrock Fell for a more challenging hike.

A favourite walk from the doorstep is to Bowscale Tarn, immortalised by William Wordsworth.

There is an excellent farm shop at Cocklakes and also nearby is a pub (the Mill Inn) in Mungrisdale.

More extensive local amenities await at Hesket Newmarket, a welcoming village which boasts a fantastic village shop where you can stock up on food, and a traditional Cumbrian pub with a great choice of ales and pub grub, alternatively, the nearby village of Threlkeld has an even wider range of amenities to keep you busy and well fed throughout your stay. Explore the exciting market town of Keswick, home to the Derwent Pencil Museum, Theatre by the Lake, Keswick Museum, and Puzzling Place optical illusion experience, whilst the calming Derwentwater lake rests close by, where you can hop on a romantic boat cruise along sparkling waters or try your luck at watersports.

Discover popular Lake District attractions in the area such as the award-winning Aquarium of the Lakes, Penrith town centre, Hadrian's Wall, Ullswater lake and the Eden Valley, or put on your walking boots and delight in one of the challenging walking trails at Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick Railway Path, and the Cumbrian Way.

Why not visit the Cumbrian capital city of Carlisle for a fun-filled day of history at the ancient castle and selection of museums, alternatively, find even more adventurous fun at the Yorkshire Dales National Park further afield.

Don't miss out on a peaceful getaway at One Town End.
