Situated in the beautiful Newlands Pass between Braithwaite and the lake of Buttermere, the cottage offers glorious mountain views of Catbells, Robinson and Blencathra. A fabulous base for walkers of all abilities, nearby fells include Causey Pike, Ard Crags, Robinson and Dale Head (all of which can be walked from the front door).
