Is Waterhead Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Waterhead Cottage provides a cot and highchair on request for families with babies. The private grounds offer space to explore and the lakeside jetty provides water access. Brockhole visitor centre is a five-minute walk with gardens and family activities. However, the one-bedroom layout sleeping just two means this property works best for couples rather than larger families.
For Couples
This one-bedroom cottage delivers a romantic Lake District escape. You get private jetty access to Lake Windermere just two minutes away with BBQ facilities and lakeside seating. The king-size bedroom features an en-suite bathroom. Enjoy peaceful evenings on your private patio with chiminea. The location between Ambleside and Windermere puts restaurants and lake cruises within easy reach.
Pet Friendly
Waterhead Cottage does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. If you need accommodation that welcomes dogs, you will need to look at alternative properties in the Lake District. The owners maintain this policy to ensure the cottage remains suitable for guests with allergies and to protect the furnishings.
