Pooley Bridge Cottage Rentals

Nestled at the north-eastern tip of beautiful Ullswater, Pooley Bridge is a perfect base for a Lake District escape. Just 10 minutes from the M6 and close to the vibrant market town of Penrith, it’s wonderfully easy to reach – yet feels a world away from the everyday.

The village itself offers a warm Cumbrian welcome, with a great selection of cosy pubs and cafés serving delicious, locally sourced food. You’ll also find a well-stocked village shop and post office, a charming boutique gift shop, and the renowned Chestnut House – famous for its impressive range of gins and whiskies from around the world.

From the pier, you can step aboard the iconic Ullswater Steamers for a relaxing cruise, hopping off at Howtown or Glenridding to explore sections of the scenic 20-mile Ullswater Way at your own pace. For nature lovers, nearby Aira Force is a must—wander through woodland trails to the spectacular waterfall, then continue up to the tranquil bathing pools and on to Gowbarrow Fell for breathtaking views.

Boats can be hired from local marinas, making it easy to get out on the water.

For those keen to explore further, the road winds beautifully around Ullswater’s shoreline, leading to picturesque villages and over Kirkstone Pass to the popular destinations of Windermere, Ambleside, and Grasmere.
