Martindale is a hidden gem, a stunning and secluded valley overlooking Ullswater.

Its tranquil setting offers a Yes ‘get away from it all’ experience, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The area is rich in unique wildlife, including red deer, and is a paradise for walkers, with trails leading up to Hallin Fell, Beda Fell, and High Street, offering breathtaking views over the falls and lakes.
For those who love the water, Ullswater is just a short walk away, ideal for wild swimming, kayaking, or taking a scenic cruise on the Ullswater Steamer. Nearby, the Aira Force waterfall provides a beautiful woodland walk with stunning cascades. Adventurers can enjoy paddleboarding, sailing, and rock climbing, while cyclists can explore scenic lanes and bridleways. History lovers will appreciate Dalemain Mansion, a historic house with beautiful gardens, or Lowther Castle, with its dramatic ruins and expansive grounds.

The charming villages of Pooley Bridge, Patterdale, and Glenridding offer cosy pubs, local shops, and cafés.
In every season, Martindale and the Ullswater Valley offer something special, whether it’s the golden autumn fells, spring bluebells, or the crisp, snowy peaks of winter. Whether you seek adventure or want to soak up the tranquillity, this unspoiled corner of the Lake District has it all. Occasionally, the owner or a tradesperson may work on the property—chopping wood, planting trees, strimming, or repairing walls—but will ensure minimal disruption.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 9 guests.
