to get started.

I loved the setting. Owner was very pleasant. Lovely accommodation. Homemade jam at breakfast!! Will definately return.

Julie, United Kingdom

Loved the greeting, the room, the log fire in the room, the views. Shower and toilet facilities are shared but clean. We stayed in the downstairs double which has a log burner. Access is possible to the kitchen which is great too.

Happyfish67, United Kingdom

We liked the simple home made breakfast and the communal setting in keeping with it being a former hostel.

Karen, United Kingdom

Lovely stay at the cottage, the log fires were wonderful and Sam and Phil were so knowledgable about the local area.

Stuart, United Kingdom

We had an amazing time at the rise cottage, we found it well with the direction of Sam. It is easier when you have a car. Couple of hikes starts near the house which are great. And you even get a map and information or suggestions! As well it is possible to walk to grasemere. The house is lovely and the rooms are very comfortable! The breakfast is homey and enough to eat. We would definitly stay again!!

Laila, Switzerland

A very relaxed environment. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming, with interesting conversation and good advice for our day out. Breakfast was good. The pub down the road is welcoming and does good evening meals.

Lucy, United Kingdom

Fantastic place , great rooms will definitely visit again

Andy, United Kingdom

Lovely clean and comfortable rooms and showers . Nice bread

Susan, United Kingdom

Philip was a perfect host and made us feel so welcome. His home cooking was lovely - breakfast was great with fresh, homemade bread and strawberry jam. Also good local knowledge to advise on our walk for the following day.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

The room was lovely, clean and comfortable to stay in, and the addition of the log burner made the whole experience very cozy and relaxing. The host, Philip, was absolutely wonderful. I was travelling alone, and due to certain circumstances I was feeling rather stressed, but upon arrival I was immediately offered a cup of tea, something to eat, and all manner of practical help and support. I am so grateful for the kindness Philip showed me, a stranger far from home.

An inside look at Raise Cottage

We serve a simple breakfast. This includes a selection of high quality teas, freshly ground coffee. (i don't have instant) and bread that is freshly made that morning. We also make our own strawberry jam every other day to serve with the bread. Breakfast is served from 6am, (4 or 5am by request) until 8.30am. as this property is really geared up for walkers, runners and cyclist. It will not suit people who wish to indulge in alcohol till late in the evening. Drunkenness will not be tolerated and your stay will be cut short. Consequently I would prefer if you are a smoker or drinker that you chose somewhere else to stay, there are plenty on offer in the village which are also nearer to the local public houses and wine bars.

What travellers love about this location

“The host and hostess are very friendly, the room is clean and comfortable, and the house stands lonely between hills but conveniently connected with other parts of the lake district by bus stops (on both sides of the road) which are about one hundred meters away. What ever do you want? Nothing! It is perfect.”

“We loved staying at Raise Cottage, a real home from home. The place was warm and friendly, the room was just perfect for us and the dogs. We were on the ground floor which made it easy to access the outside with the dogs too. Loved the jam!”
