Detatched, Cosy Cottage With Mountain Views - Parking, Sleeps 8, Pet-friendly

Built in the 1920s by the artist and embroiderer Ann Macbeth, High Bield is a remarkable house which was completely refurbished a few years ago. It was built high on the fell and takes in views of Brotherswater and Ullswater and offers walking from the door to High St, Helvellyn, St Sunday Crag, Fairfield and many other popular spots. Almost every room has a spectacular view, especially the twin room which was originally an artist's studio. The house oozes charm and is very comfortable and warm, with a woodburner in the sitting room.

Fantastic location
Great stay in a quieter area of the lakes. Magnificent views all around the property. Lots of walks nearby. Nice and cosy property especially with the log burner. Comfy beds and everything you would need for a relaxing few days away.

Charming house, perfect for getting away from it all!
We were a family of 8 ranging in age from 15 to 77. The house was perfect and quirky which we loved. Spotlessly clean and everything that we needed was there. The house is on the hillside and away from it all. We enjoyed walks from there around the nearby lake. Would love to return.

Perfect Stay in the Lakes
High Bield was exactly what we were looking for--elevated property overlooking the pristine valley with privacy and seclusion and the opportunity to walk out of the door and onto the Fells. The owner is attentive and responsive and we received exactly what was promised on the tin. Can't wait to stay there again.

Visit to the Lakes with family, most from USA and some from England
We had a great time in a great location and a great house. We were lucky with very little rain so we did get some good hikes in and wished we had more time to hike right from the house. The drive to anywhere is on winding roads so anyone who gets car sick beware! We absolutely loved the out of the way location and hopefully will be able to return. Lisa Roberts
