Nostalgic Cozy Cottage with openfire 5 mins to Ullswater Lake District

Welcome to The Buttoned Hearth

A nostalgic retreat full of warmth, charm, and countryside calm, nestled in the peaceful village of Tirril, just minutes from Pooley Bridge and the gentle shores of Ullswater.



🌿 The Cottage

Step into a storybook. The Buttoned Hearth is a lovingly restored, two-bedroom cottage filled with unique character and personal touches that reflect a simpler, slower pace of life. Designed for comfort and charm in equal measure, it’s the perfect base for couples, solo travellers, or small families (sleeps 4) looking to relax, unwind, and explore.

The interiors are cosy and eclectic, with vintage furniture, soft lighting, and thoughtful details that make the space feel like a home - buttons in jars, well-loved books, board games, and mismatched crockery that spark a sense of nostalgia.



🔥 Living Area

The heart of the cottage is the open hearth. On a rainy day or cool evening, light the fire, pour a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and settle into a good book or quiet conversation. We provide a starter log pack for every stay, and additional logs are available for a small fee via an honesty box- or can be easily picked up at local supermarkets like Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, or B&Q.

📍 The Location

Guests often say the best thing about The Buttoned Hearth is its balance of peace and convenience.

You’re tucked away in a quiet, friendly village, surrounded by walking trails and open fields, but still only:
