We love this property for it's fantastic location and proximity to loads of scenic walks.It's important to be dog friendly and the garden and adjoining wood are perfect as you are immersed by nature and it's so peaceful.Local pubs and a great farm shop nearby all add to the experience.The cottage is well equipped and cosy.

Erika's Cottage is a lovely little gem with absolutely stunning views of Blencathra and the surrounding area. It is so peaceful and calm that you really feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. But, within 15 minutes you can be in either Keswick or Penrith and have a more bustling pace if you'd like. There's also the walking paths all over and Erika's Cottage The cottage itsseld is lovely but there are a few minor buts which could make this place even better.

Cottage was very well laid out with stunning scenic views. Very peaceful and quiet plenty wildlife to see.One negative was the cushions on the sofa were covered in dogs hairs not a good point if you don't have dogs.

Thank you for the feedback and I'm very sorry about the dog hairs, the cleaners are normally very thorough but I will point this out to them. Otherwise I hope you enjoyed your stay.

A lovely, well appointed cottage in The Lake District. Spectacular view and easy access to the Motorway, Penrith and Keswick. A perfect spot with possible pheasant sightings! Highly recommend a stay at Pete and Debbie's Erika's Cottage.

Erika's Cottage is a neat, well-equipped little cottage for two in the northeastern Lake District. A large picture window has a spectacular view of Blencathra, one of the top-ten mountains in the Lakes and a good energetic hike. If visiting this part of the Lake District in the future we will certainly try to rent Erika's Cottage again.

This property is ideally located to explore Keswick and surrounding area. For the two of us plus a dog the outdoor space is always important and the garden is perfect and enclosed.The cottage really has everything you need plus an amazing farm shop nearby. Local pub in Threlkeld is handy for meals.Personally though it is the view onto the hills which is just stunning and easy access to some great walks which sells it for me. Beside the cottage is a small wood so whichever window you look out of nature is all around and this is why we will return again.

A comfortable cottage perfectly located. Quiet and rural feeling yet accessible to Keswick. Ideal for walking the fells and also mooching the shops and restaurants in Keswick, Basecamp etc. The cottage was cosy and well equipped, perfect to come back to after a day out exploring.

Lovely cottage, idea base for walking in the Lakes. We stayed in February, with snow on the ground. The view of Blencathra is stunning and the heating in the cottage made us feel very cosy.
