Monthly Rentals in Stonethwaite

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage on Wastwater. The setting is stunning — right on the lake and surrounded by beautiful walking routes, perfect for exploring with our 18-month-old and dog. The cottage is tucked away on a peaceful farm with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the views. It’s quite remote, with the nearest proper shop about 30 minutes away, but the nearby campsite shop (just half a mile down the road) had the essentials we needed. Other than that, everything was perfect. A truly relaxing break in a beautiful location — we’d definitely recommend it!

The apartment is great and very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a good stay. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed walks to the lakes and also to trails which can be accessed from the from the front door.

Very much as described, glamping with no running water or electricity however, it was the perfect location for an off-grid getaway. We had 2 big dogs (lurchers) & they fit just fine on their beds in the available floor space. We didn't speak to Debs but John met us as we arrived & left, very friendly, very welcoming & helpful. Great base for doing a variety of the Borrowdale walks. Definitely take extra firewood & if the weather is nice, a gas stove will be useful so you don't have to light the indoor stove. We also brought a coolbox so we could store cold food securely. Being able to leave our washing up & water container at the door then go out & come back hours later to replenished water & everything clean was a lovely touch. Really appreciated the whole experience

Really cosy little place with amazing views and only 10 minute drive from Buttermere. Very warm host and nice farm environment
