Cottage On The Brook, Braithwaite

Wow, wow, wow!!!! So amazing to receive the news that we’ve won a Traveller Review Award for our first year of opening the cottage to guests. We’ve met some wonderful new friends (including four legged ones!!) and look forward to welcoming some of them back this year. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to share our love for the Lake District and hear stories of hikes, bikes and a few cheeky trips to the local 👀🍻 Can’t wait to welcome new friends in 2025 and if you’re interested in knowing more about our fantastic Cottage (which really is on a Brook!) then get in touch or check the website for availability. https://cottageonthebrook.co.uk #TravellerReviewAwards2024

If sniffing was an Olympic sport… he wouldn’t turn up for the medal ceremony because he’d be too busy tracking down an elusive aroma 🙄 #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #dogsofinsta #dogreelsofinstagram #dogs #doglover #doglovers

TBH I don’t think we do it on purpose. But along with “we’re nearly at the top” and “it’s not that far now” persuading our friends and family to trek up muddy rocky paths needs some justification. And some days… the view really is worth any climb. Just not today 😅 #hike #hiking #hikingadventures #hikers #hikersofinstagram #lakedistrict #lakedistricthikes #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistricthikers

Just a snail. Casually making his way to the water in his own time. Because round here it’s all about getting to our destination… slow and steady. #lakedistrict #lakedistrictsummer #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictuk #nature #naturelovers #countryside #wildlife #britishcountryside #britishwildlife #chill #chillvibes #destress

After half a century on this planet and countless trips to the cinema to see the latest Sci-Fi effects, I’m confident Nature still has the edge when it comes to taking your breath away…. although The Matrix is still a banger 😎. Imagine being able to take this hike from the door of your country cottage. Up and down before the crowds then into Jaspers for a well earned brekkie and a review of your best shots. Book your summer stay at @thecottageonthebrook NOW and get ready to have your own special effects summer. Let’s just call you Spielberg shall we? #lakedistrict #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictuk #lakedistrictwalks #sunrise #hiking #hikingadventures #hikingculture #sunrisephotography #gooutside #nature #mountain #mountainview #views

Lunch times are never this entertaining at work. At home I get dinner… and a show 😅 @thecottageonthebrook #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #doglover #doglovers #bordercollie #bordercolliesofinstagram

We listened… and we agree. It’s frustrating trying to find awesome short term accommodation during the summer months in the Lake District (pesky kids…). So we’ve decided to open the Cottage On The Brook for short term breaks - minimum 3 nights mid week and the oh so favourite 2 night weekend break. Click the link in bio to visit our website and start planning that summer getaway now…. ☀️ 🥾 ⛰️ 🚴 🍷

And just like that… she’s a mum of two. Springtime in the Lake District isn’t just about our daffodils 🥰. #lakedistrict #lakedistrictnationalpark #spring #springtime #naturelovers #nature #lakedistrictwalks

SPRING HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED IN BRAITHWAITE!!!! Yay (and thank god because those dark days were getting way out of hand) 😅 This is the Coledale Brook which meanders its way down from the Coledale Horseshoe before babbling past the front door of @thecottageonthebrook. It’s our daily ‘let’s get you out for a quick wee’ trundle with the dogs on Braithwaite Common where we get to meet ALL the local dog owners. This particular shot was taken less than a minute from our front door so when we say nature on the doorstep - we’re not kidding!! Hope everyone has a fab 1ST OF SPRING and congratulations… we made it! 🎉 🌸 ⛰️ #spring #lakedistrict #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrictlove #lakedistrictuk #holidaycottage #dogfriendly #lakedistrictholiday
