Deer How Farm - Patterdale, Ullswater

Deer How Farm Cottage is a beautifully refurbished 4-bedroom holiday cottage situated in the centre of Patterdale, a short stroll from Glenridding, Lake Ullswater and the Ullswater Steamers. We fell in love with this property as soon as we arrived, and we're sure you will too. The beautifully decorated holiday home is perfect for families or groups of friends, perhaps to head up onto the fells or to use as a base to explore the Lake District. Head up the private driveway to this impressive stone building and enter the house into the large living room that comprises fab sofas, a log burning stove seated in the original fireplace, exposed wooden beams and a wooden floor, both made with elmwood. The view from the large living room windows is natural grassland with Place Fell beyond. Imagine coming in after a day on the fells to warm up next to the roaring fire! Additionally, the first of the bedrooms on the ground floor is a double with ensuite facilities that benefit from stunning views of Place Fell. Off the other end of the living room is the utility area that leads to the enormous kitchen and dining area. The dining table is suitable for eight people to dine and a pleasant space to host while cooking a hearty meal after a long day exploring, and there is a dishwasher too. Hence, there's no need to worry about too much washing up. If you don't fancy cooking, you could always take a short walk to the White Lion Inn down the road or The Patterdale Hotel. Or even visit the local shop to stock up the kitchen fridge and freezer back home with lots of goodies! Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, two doubles, one of which is ensuite, and a twin bedroom. All three bedrooms are light and bright thanks to the large sash windows, all benefiting from a view of Place Fell and Patterdale village. The family bathroom is modern by design with a bath with shower head attachment, loo and basin. The property is a perfect mix of a traditional cottage with modern decor and amenities with a prevalent location with walkers as there are so many well-traversed walks right outside your door; Place Fell, the Helvellyn Range with Helvellyn and Birkhouse Moor. If walking isn't your thing, there are many more things to try nearby. How about trying out the local pubs, or if you fancy an adventure, why not try head down the road to Glenridding to try out Tall Bloke Adventures or the Sailing Center?
