HEART OF THE LAKES 2016 BROCHURE by nicepond

Over 300 perfectly placed cottages in the heart of the Lake District National Park

2016

The key to your dream Cottage Holiday Join us in celebrating over 40 years… Imagine over 40 years* of self-catering! Way back when our company started under its then name of ‘Cottage Life’ there was an imaginatively named holiday home called ‘No 1 Cottage’. Guests were asked to provide everything for their holiday and in one instance even to bring their own TV to link up to the TV socket that was generously provided. Holidaymakers trekked backwards and forwards from home with bed linen, duvet covers etc. to arrive at basically equipped accommodation… no hope of a washer or microwave, never a freezer or a dishwasher and probably Grannie’s old hoover to add to the holiday comfort. How life has changed!!

over 40 years of self-catering experience under its belt. We hope you enjoy browsing through our brochure so that you can book with confidence and be assured of our first class service. And don’t forget that Leisure Club membership is included with every stay. Heart of the Lakes is the only agency to achieve the ISO 9001 British Standards Certification and our staff take a genuine sense of pride knowing we do all we can to make your holiday really special.

Your vital contribution

Our Man At The Top

Over the past 100 years, the National Trust has become owner and protector of over a quarter of the Lake District National Park. Much of the central Lakes, where you’ll find many of our properties, are in the care of the Trust. Caring for this living landscape and balancing the needs of the countryside with those of the visitors is very costly.

One of the greatest pleasures in the Lake District is walking the fells. Inevitably, all those feet take their toll on the landscape and dedicated teams have to be employed to maintain the miles of footpaths.

At Heart of the Lakes, we know that many of you share our passion for this wonderful, unspoilt area, and our concern for its preservation. So you will be heartened to know that by holidaying with us, you are supporting important conservation work.

“The National Trust is extremely grateful to Heart of the Lakes for their generous, long-term support for the conservation work in the Lake District. They not only raise money for vital work, but also encourage other organisations to support our efforts to maintain this beautiful landscape.” John Atkinson, Project Manager, The National Trust

When you book your holiday with Heart of the Lakes you know that you are helping to support the much needed work done by Nurture Lakeland and Fix the Fells to restore eroded upland pathways, thus enabling visitors to continue enjoying the wonderful National Park. We are delighted to support the work of a National Trust footpath worker who is known as ‘Our Man at the Top’. As you enjoy the unique Lakeland landscape, you know that together with Heart of the Lakes, you are playing a crucial part in conserving its fragile beauty.

“The support we receive from Heart of the Lakes is fundamental for us. Over the years, their commitment, and the support of their customers, has raised thousands for Upland Path Repair work. Thank you all very much, and here’s to the future.” Nurture Lakeland

At the Heart of the Lakes At Heart of the Lakes, we believe strongly in putting something back into the community in which we live and work, which is why we sponsor and support many local events and activities that form such a vital part of the fabric of Lake District life.

Ambleside Sports

Ambleside & District Flower & Craft Show

We are proud sponsors of the Rydal Round fell race held at the world famous Ambleside Sports. This prestigious race which attracts athletes from all over the UK, is the premier event at the sports meeting and covers 9 gruelling miles from the sports ground at Rydal, round the Fairfield Horseshoe to the summit of Fairfield and back. The winner receives the Heart of the Lakes Rose Bowl trophy. Ambleside Sports takes place on the last Thursday in July and is a great day out for all the family. We hope to see you there.

We sponsor a number of classes at this highly popular show.

Langdale Marathon We are delighted to be involved as major sponsors of The Langdale Marathon. This challenging race, and its sister half-marathon, will attract a high quality field of runners and takes in the wonderful scenery of the Great and Little Langdale valleys from its start in Great Langdale.

Windermere Golf Club In conjunction with Windermere Golf Club we are delighted to be sponsoring the Junior team with tuition and the provision of equipment.

Lakeland Country Fair We sponsor the traditional Cumberland & Westmorland Wrestling event at the Lakeland Country Fair, Torver Showfield, Coniston.

Our Man at the Top We continue to support vital footpath repair work through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our Man at the Topâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Scheme which is explained in detail on page 7 and Heart of the Lakes guests have made a really significant difference to footpath conservation on the Lakeland fells.

Junior Soccer Team We provide sponsorship to the Heathwaite Under-15s soccer team based in Windermere.

CN Group Business Awards In 2014 our achievements were recognised and culminated in Heart of the Lakes winning the CN Business Award for involvement in the community.

HHHH

A most charming and characterful mid 17th century cottage right in the heart of Ambleside and formed from part of Kelsick Hall, which later became the premises of the oldest grocers’ shop in England. The cottage retains all possible character features - exposed beams, oak lintels, stone walls and higgledy piggledy corners and there is a delightful little balcony off the sitting room giving a view out into the street in almost Tuscan style. The word ‘Bakestone’ is taken from the area where stones were gathered that could withstand the heat of the bakers’ oven, and one fascinating feature of the cottage is the two decoratively restored bakers’ ovens still in place in the entrance hall which were originally used for baking bread for Kelsick Hall. Accommodation: The cottage has two entrances and a most useful integral garage where you can park your car and unload within the ground floor of the property. Steps up into ground floor entrance hall. Most of the accommodation is at first floor level. Open style dining/kitchen leads down into the delightful sitting room with its fine cruck beams and exposed stone wall (TV, DVD, radio, books and games). There are three bedrooms - a double (king-sized bed), one single bedded room with vanity basin on the same level as the dining room and a further single with some limited head room reached up a stairway. Modern bathroom (shower over bath, basin and wc). Laundry/drying area in the garage. The cottage is tastefully furnished in a contemporary cottage style with original paintings and prints including an interesting pictorial history of the property. Mostly fitted carpets. Pine floor in dining area. Outside: Parking for one car in integral lockable garage.

We are thrilled to offer the beautiful Grade 2 listed Yew Tree Farm to our holiday guests. This truly iconic Lake District farmhouse nestles in the quiet Coniston valley and is one of the most well known and most pictured buildings in the National Park.

Emma Thompson stayed and even The Queen visited the farm on her last visit to the Lakes. It has featured in various TV programmes and photo shoots. This is very much a working farm rearing Herdwick sheep and Belted Galloways ….you can even collect your own breakfast eggs from the farm chickens. The surrounding area abounds in wonderful scenery being less than a mile from both Tarn Hows and Yew Tree Tarn…there are walks and rambles in abundance, bridle paths for cyclists and local fishing on Esthwaite Water and Coniston Water. Lake Windermere, Grizedale Forest and surrounding high peaks are there to be explored. The original farmhouse dates back to early 17thC with later additions in the 1720’s. It really does ooze character with a wealth of period features and antique pieces including some of Beatrix Potter’s own furniture.

Accommodation: Entrance porch in to panelled hallway. The panelled sitting room (TV and free wi-fi - signal varies) is to one side of the hall with the dining room opposite – imagine being able to dine off Beatrix Potter’s own dining table in the room which was once BP’s own tea shop! Both rooms have open fires and feature oak floors. To the rear of the cottage is a newly fitted well equipped oak style kitchen. The magnificent period oak staircase features 250 year old panelling and leads to the three charmingly comfortable bedrooms each with feature bespoke beds and fine period décor.

The master bedroom with its pitched ceiling and cruck beams has king-size four poster (en-suite rain shower, basin and wc/heated floor), door through to small additional room suitable for one or two children as part of a family suite. Outside: Guests will enjoy the atmosphere of the working farm whilst Yew Tree Farm has its own enclosed garden as well as a further patio area to the side where you can barbecue and pamper yourself in your own private hot tub.

Dunnabeck is a charming detached Edwardian villa in a secluded position just outside Grasmere village with stunning views over Rydal Water and to Loughrigg and Wansfell beyond. The house was originally associated with the building of the Thirlmere pipeline and for many years belonged to Canon Rawnsley, co-founder of the National Trust. It was bought as a mountain retreat by the present owner’s grandfather and retains its atmosphere as a family home with many personal touches and a comfortable relaxing feel. Guests are assured of a peaceful setting hard to come by in the heart of the National Park. This unique setting has delightful views whilst the two and a half acres of natural rocky woodland garden play host to many varieties of wildlife. Rhododendrons and azaleas create a riot of seasonal colour. There are many walks from the door including the Fairfield Horseshoe, Alcock Tarn, Loughrigg and the Grasmere and Rydal Rounds. The old ‘coffin road’ path from Grasmere to Rydal passes the gate and links Wordsworth’s homes, Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount. Accommodation: Reached up its own private drive Dunnabeck has a front door entrance leading into the hallway - plenty of space for walking gear. The accommodation is all on one level, ideal for anyone who does not want the use of stairs. The large sitting room to the front of the house has a wide bay window with panoramic lake and fell views (Sky TV with movie and sports channels, DVD, hi-fi with iPod/iPhone dock and open fire).

A spacious dining room (TV, DVD, wi-fi) to the rear of the house leads directly through to the kitchen and back door to rear courtyard. There are four bedrooms. Situated at the front of the house with views of Rydal Water are a large double (5’ bed) with en-suite shower, basin and wc, a smaller twin, and a bunk room (adult size bunks). The fourth bedroom is a king with en-suite shower, basin and wc, and views of fields and fellside. Further bathroom (bath with shower over, basin and wc). Dunnabeck is a spacious property with a relaxing feel of peace and quiet. Furnishings are comfortable and the owners wish you to enjoy being in ‘their home’ - there are some attractive antiques, many pictures and some personal items, fitted carpets throughout and oil central heating. Telephone. Outside: Extensive terraced grounds of over two acres mostly of natural rocky woodland with grand shrubs, trees and hidden pathways. We feel that this would be a fine place for older children to enjoy although rather too adventurous for little ones unless supervised. Sheltered terrace and front lawn offer a beautiful setting for outdoor relaxation even on colder days - garden furniture. Ample parking. Grasmere village 1mile, Ambleside 2½ miles approx.

The surrounding area is perfect for walking and rambling amid some of Lakeland’s finest scenery - the footpaths to the Fairfield Horseshoe pass the door, as does the Rydal Round with its much loved ‘coffin trail’ along the fell side to Grasmere. An easy stroll will bring you to beautiful Rydal Water and beyond to Loughrigg Terrace and Loughrigg Fell. Wordsworth lived in Rydal until his death in 1850. His home and gardens are open to the public just a stone’s throw away up the hill whilst there is a good pub with bar food just a short walk from this very traditional cottage. Accommodation: Strawberry Cottage is the middle house in a row of three cottages and the porch enters into a cosy beamed sitting/dining room (wood/ coal burning stove, TV, DVD, video, CD/radio). The kitchen offers a good range of equipment and has back door to the rear yard. Stairs from the sitting room access the two attractive bedrooms - one double and one twin - both with washbasins. Modern bathroom has bath with power shower over, basin and wc. Strawberry Cottage has fitted carpets and comfortable furnishings, electric storage heaters in addition to the stove, and many personal touches to make you feel really at home. Phone (incoming and outgoing local calls). Outside: Charming front garden mostly of lawn with mature shrubs and a very pleasant outlook. Garden bench.

Star Grading, Facilities level & Symbols Your guide to ‘heart of the lakes’ Star Gradings

Facilities level

Our very own Heart of the Lakes star quality guidelines will help you to choose the very best property for your own holiday requirements.

To give you more information about the equipment you will find in your holiday home we have included our own unique ‘Facilities Level’ which appears in the bullet points at the top of each property description page. The level ranges from 3 to 5 and is detailed below. The higher the number the more facilities you will find although some properties have extra but not quite enough equipment to attain a higher level.

Working within our own Quality Management Team we have carefully considered the needs of you, the holidaymaker, and you can be sure that the importance of quality at all levels is taken very seriously. Our in-house inspection team regularly visit each property to assess the quality on offer and you will find our star grading at the top of each description page.
