The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.

Spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and tastefully done en suites. However no extra toilet rolls provided, only rental accommodation I've been where we had to buy more. Good luck with cooking as there isn't a single baking tray, bread knife or fish slice, not even the basics. No information on anything regarding the heating or rubbish.

Each time we looked out of a window, the sheep were looking in! We loved it.

After a week of walking the Dales Way we wanted a quiet stay in the Lakes for a few days and the property was perfect. Bathrooms and kitchen all brand new and immaculate. Everything catered for and very comfortable. Views were outstanding. Tiny issue was difficulty in working the hob as couldn't locate any instructions anywhere but got there in the end. Will certainly be returning. Thank you for a great stay.
