Matson Ground Holiday Cottages

Discover Your Perfect Lake District Escape

Nestled in the peaceful Grisedale Valley near Ullswater, our two self-catering cottages – Elm How and Cruck Barn – offer a relaxing escape surrounded by spectacular scenery. From your doorstep, the fells, the lake and miles of walking trails are all within easy reach.

Elm How • Sleeps 8 • Two Well Behaved Dogs Welcome

Set along a quiet gated track near Patterdale, Elm How is traditional Lakeland farmhouse providing a wonderfully warm retreat
for families and friends. Original stone features, a wood-burning stove, a large kitchen-diner and a cosy snug create
an ideal base for adventures on the fells.

With walking routes beginning right from the door and Ullswater just down the valley, it’s the perfect place for exploring together.

Cruck Barn • Sleeps 2 • One Well Behaved Dog Welcome

Next door to Elm How is Cruck Barn. This beautifully converted former barn is an intimate retreat for two,
with the path to Helvellyn and Fairfield passing right by the door.

Quiet, secluded and right beside one of the main footpaths to Helvellyn and Fairfield,
it’s ideal for couples seeking tranquillity and time outdoors.

Whether you’re dreaming of long days on the fells or peaceful moments by Ullswater, our cottages offer the perfect base
for discovering this beautiful corner of the Lake District.
