Aira Cottage

Aira Cottage sits in Pooley Bridge and Northern Ullswater, sleeping six and making it a solid choice for a family gathering or a group of friends wanting space to spread out in the Lake District. Expect easy access to the fells and the lake itself.

There's history close at hand too, with Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum, Penrith & Eden Museum and Keswick Museum & Art Gallery all within a short drive, each worth an hour or two if the weather turns. For food, The Royal Hotel is just 1.8 miles away and holds a 5-star hygiene rating, making it an easy choice for an evening out.

Penrith station is 8.2 miles off, so getting here by train and picking up a hire car is perfectly feasible. It's a well-placed cottage for a proper Lakeland break.
