About Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot

Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot is exactly what it says on the tin - a genuinely quirky stone cottage just 1 mile from Penrith in the Lake District. This cosy two-bedroom retreat combines original beams and character features with modern comforts, sitting at the gateway to some of England's most spectacular scenery.

Located perfectly for Lake District adventures, you're just 5 miles from Ullswater and within easy reach of the national park. The cottage sits on the A6 (yes, it's a busy road, but secondary glazing sorts that right out). Two dog-friendly pubs are within walking distance (350 metres).

Inside you'll find two comfortable bedrooms sleeping four guests, with two bathrooms (no more morning queue for the loo!). The kitchen has all essentials including electric hob/oven and dishwasher. Kids will love the secret Juliet balcony accessed by ladder - though keep an eye on the little monsters up there.

Explore Aira Force waterfall (11 miles), climb Helvellyn (16.5 miles), or visit the mysterious Henges nearby. After your adventures, sink into your private hot tub with a favourite drink. Nothing beats a good soak under the stars after walking your legs off.

Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot offers that rare combo - character, comfort and convenience. Perfect for families, couples or friends who want to explore the Lakes without breaking the bank.

Quirky Cottage Kemplay Foot Reviews

Emma Collins

We had a really lovely time at this charming little cottage! It's decorated beautifully and feels super homely, with everything you could need. We didn't notice any noise from the road at alland the hot tub was private enough for us to relax fully. The place was spotless and cosy, perfect for a relaxing break. We're already talking about coming back. Honestly, it's the ideal spot for a peaceful getawayand we'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. Will definitely return!

Emily

We loved this charming little cottage - so cosy and well-stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect after busy days out exploring. The location is great, with all the lakes nearby within an hour's drive. The only downside was the busy road right outside, which was a bit noisy early mornings. Still, it wouldn't stop us from booking again - it's a lovely spot overall!

Oliver

The cottage was lovely, situated in a perfect spot. We had a very relaxing timeand our dog loved the nearby walks. Parking was fine at the front, just make sure to leave enough space for others to pass by easily.

Emma Carter

Honestly, our stay was quite a letdown. The place is right on a busy main road, so it's super noisy with trucks and buses passing all the time. The cleanliness was pretty poor-dirty dishes in the cupboard, stained toiletand the shower was grimy. Floors looked unwashedand there was hair and marks on the bedding. No welcome pack or dog treats like they promised. The garden was overgrownand the furniture was disgusting. We tried contacting the owner, but no reply at all. Not great!

George

Great for families with teens, really appreciated the nice welcome pack. Perfect base for exploring the Lake District or taking a day trip to Edinburgh by train. Loved it!

Emma Roberts

We left a note in the visitors book suggesting it would be better to have a tumble dryer instead of a freezer that no one uses during a holiday. We also texted about a missing item but never got a reply. The location is really nice - the waterfalls, caves, ferry ridesand views are stunning. Sadly, with just a week, we didn't get to see everything, which was a bit disappointing but understandable.

Emma

The cottage was really charming and surprisingly high quality. The neighbour on the left was super friendly too. Beds were so comfy, we slept like logs. The noise from the road was minimaland the location is perfect for exploring the lakes! Definitely better than we thought.

Emma T.

The location is perfect for exploring the Lakes, no doubt about that. However, I wish I'd known it's right on the A6 because traffic noise was pretty noticeable. Also, the photos make the place look a lot bigger than it actually is, which was a bit disappointing. Other guests seem happy, so maybe it's just not for us this time.

James

We loved the charm of this old cottage, beautifully restored with matching furnishings. It's perfectly located near the northern Lake District, ideal for walks. The road noise was a bit loud at first, but we got used to it quickly. The air conditioning was a real bonus too. Would definitely stay again!
