Lowthwaite is situated in the peaceful valley of Matterdale, only four miles from Ullswater with views of Helvellyn and Blencathra.
We very much appreciate if you book directly with us and it ensures you get the best price available.
Jim and Tine have fully renovated the house to make both a family home and a lovely place where our guests can feel welcome and at home. We are the only dwelling at Lowthwaite, and guests have often described the place as a "haven of peace and tranquillity".
We have four beautiful and differently styled bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Most of our furniture was handmade in Tanzania, where we had a business arranging Kilimanjaro climbs, and the furniture adds a very distinctive style to all of our rooms.

If you love wildlife and/or are a keen photographer we currently have several red squirrels running around in our garden.
We are very happy to welcome children of all ages. Little Mell Fell is good for getting younger children up a "proper" fell, and the plentiful becks (streams) and lakes can give endless pleasure.
We do our best to make our guests feel at home and to help with special requests, whether it's a diet, a celebration, or a weekend away with friends. We try to work by the motto "nothing is too much trouble".
