  • Helen

    “It's a lovely setting and peaceful.”

    The birdlife and other wildlife is a delight. Well located for walking straight onto the hills. It's comfortable, plenty of hot water, and the owners were very helpful with an internet problem (due to the network provider not the property).

High Winder Holiday Cottages

High Winder Holiday Cottages are a charming complex of self-catering holiday homes resting on the outskirts of Askham, a beautiful village near Pooley Bridge in Cumbria. This superb collection is all in the best location to explore the picturesque landscapes of The Lake District National Park, lying high in the Lakeland Fells above the northern end of Ullswater, ideal for families and friends seeking a rural retreat. Located along a private lane, winding through fields and farmland, the cottages overlook the stunning woodland and countryside and enjoy direct access to Askham Fell, from which you can join a number of walks including to Ullswater Lake, Pooley Bridge and even mountains for the keen hikers in your group. Each property accepts two dogs, with access to a secure dog field, along with off-road parking, while lovers of nature and animals can savour the setting, where you may see deer, red squirrels, badgers, pheasant, fell ponies and an abundance of birds, while being encompassed by dramatic and breathtaking scenery. You can also enjoy access to the Ullswater Way and the stunning Ullswater Lake, known for its perfect watersporting atmosphere, the steamers, and the surrounding fells and mountains. By car, Pooley Bridge and Lowther Castle are worth a visit, showcasing the Lake District's historic architecture and offering more amenities, as well as its unrivalled landscapes, which interlace a wealth of characterful stops while on your days out. When it's time to dine out, a handful of eateries lie in the delightful village of Glenridding, just a scenic drive away, or the more built-up Keswick, which keeps with the allure of the national park, while offering ample amenities. Whatever you choose, High Winder Holiday Cottages is an excellent group of properties, sure to complete a perfect countryside getaway.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
