The Best Homes in Cumbria

Brontë Schoolhouse

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Carnforth, Westmorland and Furness

This Casterton cottage has lived many lives in its rich history, most notably as the school Charlotte Brontë and her sisters attended in the 1800s. To stay here is to stay in literary history.

The Lake Gatehouse

• 8 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Matterdale, Penrith

With jaw-dropping views over Lake Ullswater and a private shoreline and jetty, it's clear what caught our eye about this 1900s gatehouse. There's an alfresco terrace to soak in the lakeside views with barbecues.

Dukes & Duchesses

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Penrith, Westmorland and Furness

At Ullswater Lake, the second biggest in the Lake District, you’ll find a diverse range of landscapes and activities as you hike around its enormous perimeter. From the quaint village of Pooley Bridge, with traditional pubs and cute restaurants, take a fourteen-minute stroll to reach an altogether different scene – an isolated, romantic boathouse.
