Perfect for a romantic mini break or longer stay

Here you will find the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy all the the Lakes has to offer. Set in the courtyard of the Old Rectory, with its own large walled garden, the cottage would originally be home to the Groomsman who was in charge of the Rectory stables. Now it offers a charming mix of modern day luxury and traditional character with its own unique furnishings and personal touches.

The village of Uldale is a typical Lakeland community approached by quiet country lanes and surrounded by working farmland. It occupies an elevated position on the side of Green How overlooking the Ellen Valley. Close by you will find the Lake District classics such as Skiddaw, Bassenthwaite Lake and the Uldale Fells.

For those who enjoy the great outdoors, there are Wainwrights to climb, miles of footpaths to discover, trails for mountain biking, passes to challenge the road cyclist, lakes to explore, wildlife to experience and views to cherish.

For those looking for some retail therapy or great food and drink then the towns of Keswick and Cockermouth are both approximately 20mins drive away and the Border City of Carlisle is within easy reach.

Closer by the village is home to The Snooty Fox Pub and Mae’s Tearoom and Gallery, both within walking distance.

Neighbouring villages such as Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket and are good to explore too.

Some of our own recommendations of places to visit are:

The Lingholm Kitchen & Walled Gardens

Borrowdale near Keswick

Honister Slate Mine

The Lakes Distillery for tours & bistro

Lake cruises on the Ullswater Steamers

Whinlatter Forest for mountain biking, walking, Go-ape, visitor centre

The cottage has many beautiful features such a fully equipped handmade oak cottage kitchen, welcome treats, a wood burning stove, a Bose bluetooth sound system, unique locally made furnishings, luxury fabrics from ‘Art of the Loom’, Wifi, a 4-poster bed with luxurious bedding, handmade furniture exclusive to The Groom’s Cottage, a walk-in wet room with monsoon shower and a large walled garden with view over the fields
