Another run of fine weather forecasted– Like much of the country, Cumbria is expected to enjoy another period of dry, warm weather over the next week or two. If you haven’t already booked a summer break, the Lake District is perfect. Ullswater lake has become a popular destination for those who enjoy water activities – paddleboarding, kayaks and swimming! There are plenty of places around the lake to hire boards and kayaks. There are lots of other lakes within easy driving distance from the Cottage that are less busy – only last week, we went over to Crummock Water (image below) and enjoyed a swim and a picnic in the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful part of Cumbria. Don’t forget the walking – the fine weather ensures you will have fantastic views when you get to the top of the fells.
The cottage has been busy with guests coming from all over the UK and abroad. We feel so fortunate to meet such lovely, interesting people who seem as passionate about walking, the Cumbrian landscape and nature as we are.
Tongue Cottage is an ideal place to visit at any time of the year, but currently its a perfect time. We still have some availability in August and September. Book 7 nights and get a 10% discount.

Dating back to 1746, Tongue Cottage is a delightful one bedroomed property in Watermillock. An area of outstanding natural beauty within the Lake District National Park we are only a mile from Ullswater. It provides a unique location for walking, honeymoons, or romantic getaways. Tongue Cottage is perfect for that special anniversary, birthday or simply for those just wanting to relax.
Located next to the owners’ home, but still maintaining solitude and privacy, Tongue Cottage is surrounded by open fields and is a haven for wildlife. Red squirrels regularly visit the gardens, as well as a huge variety of birds – including greater spotted woodpeckers, tawny and barn owls, tree creepers and nuthatches. The natural pond within the grounds regularly attracts herons and greylag geese.
There are walks directly from the doorstep, including Aira Force and Gowbarrow (Airy Crag). Little Mell Fell, one of ‘the Wainwrights’, is directly behind the cottage. Ideal for an evening walk to watch the sun set.
