Lovely spotlessly clean cottage.
Lovely spotlessly clean cottage. Nice feature of coal fire, backed up by effective central heating for those colder evenings. Quiet location at end of road, but easy driving to Buttermere, Whinlatter and Keswick. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

If you want modern then this isn't the cottage.
If you want modern then this isn't the cottage. But if you want clean, cosy, and an amazing situation then this is the place. It has everything you need. Nestled at the foot of thornthwaite forest, 30 minutes walk from the door to whinlatter visitors centre. Stream running through the garden. And if you like sitting in the garden watching the variety of birds and red squirrels scurrying around then Oak Lea is the place. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet this little cottage offered.

Spacious, well equipped cottage in a beautiful scenery.
Spacious, well equipped cottage in a beautiful scenery. Last house up the hill, little brook running in the garden. The cottage was super clean and well maintained. The view is beautiful and it's very silent. You need a car for this location as all shops and restaurants are miles away. Walks right behind the cottage. Not much dining space but there's a clever foldable table to solve it. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.
This is a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage is right on the edge of whinlatter forest at the top of the roadway. The view is fantastic. It is well equipped, although we would have preferred a larger fridge so we didn't have to shop so often. The lockable shed was a welcome advantage as we had 2 bicycles and to know they were safely locked away when we were out was great.
