"Once again (four?"
times now) an excellent stay. Central village location with dedicated parking for one car. Comfortable and warm with friendly hosts. Plenty of walks and other activities nearby. Three! pubs still surviving in the village which indicates a good local economy. A bonus was good October weather and colours for the second time in two years.

"Lovely, well furnished cottage."
A great deal of thought has gone into making this cottage one of the best that we’ve stayed in during our regular trips to the Lake District. Superb location in the centre of Pooley Bridge. Can’t fault it. Already booked for next year.
-
"The cottage is well appointed and very comfortable."
Paul the host is very friendly and helpful. The cottage is off the main road and makes it very quiet.
-

"We had a lovely stay at Mews cottage, it was very comfortable clean and tidy, nice and warm on those cold April mornings we had."
Ideal for local shops and meals out in the pretty village Pooley Bridge. I would definitely stay again and recommend to other people.

"A lovely comfortable stay, the cottage is in an ideal position to enjoy the Lakes and for the first time we were warm, the only destroying angel was the weather but we were aware how poor it was going to be when we booked."
All in All a nice time was had.
-
"Peaceful, comfortable, and well-equipped cottage in the heart of Pooley Bridge village."
I had a lovely stay here. I would have liked more control over the heating as the cottage did get a bit too warm at times for my liking. However, I would definitely return.

"Mews Cottage is lovely accommodation."
It is warm, clean and well equipped for self-catering. The decor reminds me of staying at a favourite Aunts' house! It is perfectly positioned for Pooley Bridge facilities, but far enough off the main road to be quiet and peaceful. Very convenient for lots of walks, Penrith and Keswick. There are good pubs, and restaurants two minutes away. Unfortunately the open fire was not available on our visit which was a disappointment. There was an electric fire in the hearth instead. We were anticipating a little open fire on the chilly evenings, but it was not to be. Also, on the Sykes listing it states space for two cars, this was not correct. It was not a problem, but an inaccurate description of the space available. Our stay was very restful, although the boiler firing up very noisily at 7.40 every morning proved an excellent alarm call! On the whole, a good stay in Pooley Bridge.

"This is the second time we have stayed here."
As before, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Even the weather was good.
-
"Mews cottage is in a great location in the centre of Pooley Bridge and with lovely views over the fields and fells."
It has everything you need, a fully equipped kitchen, sparkling shower, comfy sofa and garden table & chairs. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. We really appreciated the attention to detail, like the sewing kit and walking maps. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay.

"Mews cottage is perfect for a holiday whatever you intend doing."
Beautiful location and the cottage is faultless. Warm and spotlessly clean and well positioned for the local pubs and shops........literally a two minute walk to the town centre and Lake Ullswater. Highly recommended.

"A lovely cottage ideal for two people and larger than it looks in the photographs situated in the heart of Pooley Bridge."
Perfect as a base for getting out and about for local walks. Plenty of good places to eat nearby. Will definitely book Mews Cottage again.

"Mews cottage was a great find right in the middle of Pooley Bridge, everything was to hand and great walks from the village."
The cottage was wonderful with lovely views from bedroom and a courtyard garden. We had perfect weather as well which was a bonus. No WiFi but we knew that and were able to pick up emails in the cafe/book store and restaurants.
WiFi installed for guests in 2023. Property Owner

"This property is extremely well situated literally in the center of pooley ..."
This property is extremely well situated literally in the center of pooley bridge one could almost walk out of the door and be in one of the shops or in a pub
-
"Great Location in a quiet cul de sac, very central to Lake, shops & pubs."
Well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery, pans & cleaning products etc. Overall a nice cottage to stay in. It would benefit from a new bed. Very soft & squeaky double bed which didn't make for a great nights sleep. Ended up with one of us sleeping in the single bed. Adding Wi-Fi would make this a better cottage to stay in.
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have replaced the bed and also installed WiFi to further enhance the cottage. Property Owner

"Loved this beautiful cottage!"
Located in the centre of pooley bridge but with a quiet spot and beautiful views. Perfect for our family of 3, including a toddler. The cottage felt much bigger than the photos look and the garden is sunny for most of the day and evening. Would highly recommend to anyone.
-
"My only criticism of Mews Cottage is that I found the mattress on the double bed too soft for my back otherwise the cottage was great."
-
"We had a wonderful holiday, but it did indicate that there was a washing ..."
We had a wonderful holiday, but it did indicate that there was a washing machine in the what to take with you list , we understand that this list is generic and we didn't let it spoil our stay, the owners Jill and Paul lived opposite and were really lovely
-
"Lovely cosy cottage,comfortably furnished and well equipped"
-

-
"Nice cottage in a good location, although very tight for car (have to reverse out onto road)."
Thought they were a bit mean with the "welcome pack"
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. The welcome pack consists of milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and sugar which we feel is a nice gesture after traveling to the property. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
-
"The cottage is in a lovely position with everything you need nearby."
The owners were very friendly would go there again
-
"The only misgiving that I had was that the access for a car meant that once having driven in to the cottage, one had to reverse back out again onto a sometimes busy road."
I was thankful that I didn't have a bigger car. Otherwise we had a great time.
-

Would benefit from WiFi though and a washing machine. We had a lovely stay.

"We've been coming to the lake district several times a year for over 20 years and how we've missed this hidden gem is a mystery."
Great location, beautifully furnished and well presented Lakeland cottage, peaceful yet in the heart of the village. Hopefully we'll be coming back soon. Not only is this a great cottage to relax in it's location is central for some amazing walks around Ullswater and District it also makes for a good base to tour the north western area of the Lakes taking in Windermere, Coniston and Thirlmere and take in some of the lakes nicest towns such as Keswick, Ulverston and Cockermouth. Whatever you want from a Lakeland holiday you'll find in abundance from this delightful cottage home from home.

"It's hard to put into words how we feel about this cottage and our time at Pooley Bridge."
There is a character and charm about the place which we believe is positively beneficial to one's health. The cottage was perfect in every way, warm, secure and inviting. The owners are wonderful people, close enough should you require anything at all but at the same time they respect your privacy and allow you to enjoy the holiday. I would recommend Pooley Bridge and in particular Mews Cottage to all, especially if you're wanting some restful and therapeutic time away. Sincerest thanks.

"Mews cottage is in a perfect location with easy access to different spots in the Lake District."
The owners who lived close by were very welcoming, helpful with very smooth check in and check out process. Apart from being in a perfect location the cottage was cosy with a lovely garden and all the required amenities.The cottage may require some upgrade with regard to few appliances like the oven, heating in the ground floor which we found to be not working. We enjoyed our stay very much in the cottage and highly recommend it for anyone visiting Lake District for a short break.
-
"The Lake District is super busy during holiday times, so be aware that parking your car is not easy."
( Not a problem at Mews cottage which is excellently located in a very quiet cul-de-sac) Pooley Bridge is a small but busy place with plenty to do and several good watering holes. Next door to the Mews you can buy excellent ice cream.
-
"Lovely cottage - very quiet location and yet still handy for the village facilities."
The owners are very welcoming and always on hand if needed without intruding. A very comfortable base in a lovely village.

About the location
POOLEY BRIDGE
Penrith 6 miles.
The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
