Knotts Cottage is a two-bedroom, Grade ll listed character cottage in an elevated position overlooking the Troutbeck Valley with magnificent views of Lake Windermere, and the fells beyond. It is part of an 18th Century farmstead situated on the main road to the acclaimed Kirkstone Pass and is approximately one mile from Windermere town centre.
Take in the stunning scenery as you enjoy breakfast on your patio, then take a leisurely walk to nearby Holehird Gardens where you will find a beautiful, secluded tarn. Venture uphill to discover expansive hillside gardens, Victorian greenhouses, a fabulous walled garden and gorgeous views of the Langdale Pikes. Head out on foot to enjoy one of the many scenic and dramatic trails that are available from your doorstep.
This lovingly restored and refurbished cottage is a perfect base from which to tour the National Park’s breath-taking countryside by car. Set out for the day on one of the many driving routes to discover beautiful lakes, valleys, picturesque villages and hamlets.
Park your car in front of the cottage, walk through a gateway, then a few yards along the roadside to a second gateway. This will lead you to your front door. Step into your traditional living room with dining area and admire the soft furnishings, cosy log burner, original beams, flag floor and traditional rug.
From here find your small, fully fitted kitchen; a room which simply oozes traditional character whilst at the same time benefiting from attractive shaker style units and contemporary equipment. Start to prepare your meal on the meteoris granite worktops.
Take a drink up the couple of steps into the garden. Take in the panoramic views then watch the sun as it sets over the beautiful lake.
Climb the narrow stairs, which rise quite steeply, to a small landing to find your comfortable bedrooms. One a king-size with views towards Wansfell Pike, the other a twin overlooking Lake Windermere and Claife Heights. You will also find a modern bathroom with mood lighting and a p-shaped bath with power shower over.
