Monkhouse Hill Cottages

“Excellent place to stay, amazing view”

We found this an easy to stay at holiday home with everything you need supplied and great acces to excellent low level and mountain walks, mountain biking and road cycling.
The views across the Solway estuary to the Scottish hills from the lounge and hot tub are fantastic, we could see 50 miles+ i think on a sunny day to snow capped hills across the border which added to the sense of eacaping.
It’s close enough to drive to Skiddaw range, Keswick, Buttermere, Whinlatter as quickly as from many better known lakes locations. I love Caldbeck common and the moors plus the remoteness of the Northern fells and if we stay in Grasmere, Keswick or Ambleside it seems a long drive but when you are here plenty of places feel really accessible and driving aroubd the back of Skiddaw is wonderful.
The welcome pack included more than usual so dishcloths, tea towels, washing up liquid: for the wood burning stove - kindling, logs, firelighters and matches, plus wine, milk and local biscuits so well thought through.
An excellent stay and well planned accomodation plus extras.
