The Cottage in the Wood
About
We are a cosy gourmet getaway nestled in Whinlatter Forest, with nine contemporary rooms offering woodland or garden views, it’s a haven of tranquillity and relaxation. Our location is the perfect base to explore the many walking and cycling routes in Whinlatter Forest, to soak up the arts and culture in nearby Keswick and the birth town of William Wordsworth Cockermouth.
Our Michelin Star restaurant offers a delicious menu, created by Chef Director Ben Wilkinson using the finest ingredients from Cumbria and further afield.
Stunning location at the top of Whinlatter Pass with superb views down the valley toward the Skiddaw mountain range. Peaceful setting surrounded by forest and close to the Whinlatter visitors centre and Osprey project. Close proximity to Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater.
