Puddleduck Cottage in the Lake District

18th century Puddleduck is part of a terrace of stone cottages. It has all the conveniences for a family holiday exploring the English Lake District. A cosy sitting dining room with woodburning stove it is a great place to return to after a bracing walk on Lakeland Fells. There’s a well equipped kitchen to prepare food or the Farmers Arms is opposite and The Royal Oak down the hill. In a rural setting, but easy reach of a supermarket, it is an excellent base for the adventurous or to relax. The space The two and three story parts of the cottage probably date from the 18th and 19th Centuries respectively. Originally 3 cottages they have undergone extensive alteration over the years with all but one of the fireplaces blocked in and two staircases removed. The beams in the bedrooms date back many years, as the woodworm testifies, but all the other woodwork is new. Much of the furniture was manufactured from reclaimed pine from Lancashire cotton mills. The cottage is very much our home and used frequently by us when we can escape from work. The private parking space next to the cottage fits a VW Golf sized car. There is additional car parking across the road. Guest access The cottage is looked after by the housekeeper and a gardener. Guest enter using a key provided in a security cabinet. Other things to note Our cottage is pet friendly but limited to one dog only. This is not a “party” house. Puddleduck is a mid-terrace cottage with neighbours.
