Brothersfield Cottage is a detached stone house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping ten people across a full property to yourselves. Built in the 18th century, it stands beside Brotherswater on the road between Ullswater and Ambleside, at the foot of Kirkstone Pass. The setting puts you among dramatic Lakeland fells, with High Street and Helvellyn rising on either side, and countless footpaths available straight from the door.
The ground floor holds two living spaces—one with a Freeview TV and open fire, the other quieter—plus a kitchen and dining room fitted with a Rayburn, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Upstairs, bedrooms are arranged as a four-poster double, a double with a single, three singles, and two singles; the bathrooms include both a bath with shower and a separate shower room downstairs. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer (coin-operated) sits off the kitchen. Electricity, bed linen, towels and oil central heating are provided. The cottage has parking on site and a lawned garden with picnic tables.
A pub with food is within half a mile. Ambleside town centre lies 6 miles away; Glenridding, from which summer steamers run across Ullswater, is nearby. Windermere and Keswick are within reach for a day out. The property does not permit smoking.

What guests say
The cottage is in ideal location for some lovely scenic walks and also close to other attractions in the Lake District. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is that the cottage really needs an upgrade, especially the living room and the toilets. Cleanliness was ok but lots of cobwebs in places, wallpaper peeling in places. It has a very traditional feel but there’s no reason that can’t be preserved and a few things upgraded. The living room has a very musty feel to it, sofas need replacing, not comfortable to sit on if you want a relaxing evening after a long day. Could do with some basic condiments in the kitchen like black pepper and sugar. Also kitchen paper tissues would be helpful. Lovely cottage just needs some TLC.

Location makes this cottage, some great walks from your door, Dovedale cragg, The Knott were great. House itself is a bit tired and a bit musty, bedrooms not the freshest, towels quite old, though bed linen was all clean. Really good WiFi, though really needs a TV a bit newer to veg out in front after a long day walking. For a house that easily sleeps 8-10 the kitchen was minimally equipped and the old arga really made the place too hot when cooking. Though trying to cobble together large meals for everyone in various pans and appliances did become fun as you had to work with what you had. We did have a great week.
