Ghyll Foot
Ghyll Foot is part of a classic Lake District slate-built character cottage set in a secluded location at the foot of the majestic Place Fell near Ullswater. Handy for both the pubs and shops in Patterdale and Glenridding, and also the shores Ullswater, Ghyll Foot is a nature and outdoor activity lovers' dream bolthole. Ullswater is often described as the most beautiful of all the lakes, and Ghyll Foot is also on the doorstep of famous fells such as Helvellyn.
Set all on one level, Ghyll Foot is great for families, and also dog friendly, so everyone can have a taste of Lake District magic. It's just a few steps from the generous parking area directly into the combined lounge and dining area which enjoys views towards the fells. The comfy corner sofa has space for all and there is an additional easy chair and dining table for four.
Children of all ages are welcome and the combination of a double and twin bedroom make this a family friendly property (cot and high chair provided). The lack of stairs and level access from the parking area gives easy access to all areas of the property. The double bedroom has an en suite shower room, and the house bathroom has a bath with hand-held shower attachment.
Outside, there is a south-facing patio with garden furniture for a sundowner or al-fresco dining, a large sloping lawned garden and, of course, those wonderful views of some of the best Lake District scenery.
A holiday at Ghyll Foot will be memorable, whether you are keen to roam the fells, enjoy a cruise on Ullswater, or just kick back and relax in the most peaceful and stunning of settings.

About the location
Patterdale is a picturesque village situated southern end of Ullswater Lake. This Lakeland village benefits from two pubs, The White Lion, and Patterdale Hotel, and a pretty church, which is a favourite starting point for walks. The 508 bus route operates between Penrith and Windermere, passing the end of the lane. There is a village shop and mini-market in Glenrididing for grocery essentials, an outdoor gear shop, cafe, and a National Park information centre.
Adjacent to Patterdale, within walking distance, is Glenridding Village and the Glenridding Ullswater Steamer pier. You can hop on board one of the steamers to Howtown, Aira Force (seasonally) or further to the northern shores of Ullswater Lake at Pooley Bridge.
The fabulous Ullswater Way footpath can be joined directly from the cottage, and hugs the eastern shore to Pooley Bridge via Howtown. Without needing to use your car, there are several popular fell walks you can start from the cottage, including the Striding Edge path up to Helvellyn, Place Fell, High Street, Glenridding Dodd, the Helvellyn range, Fairfield and St Sunday Crag, so you'll be spoilt for choice! The Ullswater Steamers ply the entire length of Ullswater, with the main departure points being at Glenrididng and Pooley Bridge. The steamers also stop at Howtown to allow for a lakeshore walk back to Glenridding, or vice versa. There is also a seasonal service stopping at Aira Force, one of the Lake District's most impressive waterfalls, with lovely woodland walks through the National Trust land between the lake and the waterfall.
The famous village of Ambleside is a 30-minute drive away, over the dramatic Kirkstone Pass, where you have a variety of pubs, restaurants and cafes.
