The property is generally well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but some guests missed having Wi-Fi and noted the interior is somewhat dated.

About this property
Eusebank is a lovely, detached bungalow set within a short stroll of Lake Ullswater and the facilities of Pooley Bridge, in the Lake District National Park. This is a stunning base for couples and small groups seeking the sights of this northern corner of the Lakes, whether by foot, bike or car, and for those wishing to spend their time simply relaxing beside the gentle shores of the lake. Youll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, with the accommodation set entirely over the ground floor. The sitting room comes with a cosy open fire, which can also be used as an electric fire, an essential addition for a memorable, romantic break in Cumbria, where you can settle at the end of the day and share the nostalgia of your holiday so far. There is a spacious kitchen, which leads through to a sociable dining area, whilst two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom complete the accommodation. To the front and the back of the property lies a lawned garden, and to the rear there is a patio with furniture, where you can sit on a sunny afternoon and prepare tomorrows adventure. Ullswater provides a very popular area for exciting outdoor activities, including canoeing, rock climbing, ridge walking and abseiling to name but a few. Many charming Lakeland villages are scattered all around, worthy of a visit, and the lofty peaks provide all the inspiration one needs for wonderful walks. The scenic backdrop of Lake Ullswater is thought to have inspired Wordsworth's iconic poem Daffodils, with a steamer cruise across its waters the perfect way to enjoy the surrounding fells. Whether youre in search of the solitude treasured by Wordsworth, or the bustling towns popular with tourists, there is something to appeal to everyone from this delightful cottage. Note: This property is 300 yards away from Ref. 25680 and 934105 together they sleep 12.
The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.

It's a clean, spacious, well laid out property, with generous off-road parking, and an excellent location, both for Pooley Bridge itself and also for exploring the surrounding Lakeland. We'd certainly consider booking again in future.
