Description

Entering the cottage from the porch, the spacious open-plan lounge-kitchen-diner provides a charming sociable living space for unwinding after a day of adventures. There is a leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in front of the cosy log-burning stove while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or unwind with a good book.

The new kitchen overlooks the garden and comes fully-equipped with fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher.

On warmer days, open up the french doors for an al-fresco drink and nibble, or a serene moment observing the comings and goings of the resident birds and wildlife.

At the back of the garage, there is a useful utility space with freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs, there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king-size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space. The twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp, white bed linen and towels. The bathroom has a mirror with lighting, WC, handwash basin and beautiful bath with shower over, ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles,

There is an electric vehicle charging point next to the private, covered car parking space (please note the charging point is shared with Spa Cottage next door)

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Glen Cottage is a great place to stay
We know Braithwaite very well and Glen Cottage was a great place to stay. It was the first time we had stayed in this particular property and found it to be very comfortable, clean and in a great location in the village. It had everything we needed and was also perfect for a dog. There is a lovely little garden which was ideal for him. All the appliances were easy to use and the shower was brilliant after a day's walking. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Glen Cottage?. We are so pleased you had a great stay with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. I'm sure you will of made the most of the village shop being just a stones throw away. The homemade cakes in there are amazing! We agree that its location is ideal, I'm sure your dog enjoyed all the amazing walks from the doorstep and you enjoyed the post walk food and drinks from the 2 pubs in the village [Emoji Removed] . Thanks again for your valued feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Lovely cottage
A lovely spacious cottage in a quiet location. Clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. We particularly liked the comfortable lounge, the smart kitchen, the big bathroom, the motion sensor lighting and the well maintained garden with it's table and chairs which makes for a nice relaxing sit down after a walk or a day out sightseeing. There are plenty of walks from the doorstep and a number of places to eat within the village itself. Parking was a little tight but we have a large SUV and had no problems. Being so close to the excellent village shop was also a plus.

Great cottage
Really enjoyed our stay at Glen Cottage. Comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. We loved the garden, sat outside, great for our dog and would be for children as completely enclosed. We want to come back!

Thank you, Bronwen, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of Glen Cottage. We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay and that the cottage provided everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. It's especially wonderful to know that the enclosed garden was such a hit, both for spending time outdoors and for giving your dog plenty of space to enjoy safely.

This was a truly lovely place to stay with a helpful owner. The location was great located within walking distance of several hiking trailheads, the village shop, and several restaurants. It was comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed.
