Loughrigg Cottage is a luxuriously grand detached Lakeland residence located in a beautiful spot with spectacular views by the banks of the River Rothay close to the famed 'Stepping Stones', in the picturesque hamlet of Rydal at the foot of Loughrigg Fell. This is true Lakeland luxury! Loughrigg Cottage dates back to the 18th century, and was developed in the Arts & Crafts style during the 19th century, when it was occupied by Adelaide Wordsworth, the widow of Wiiliam's grandson and was once rented by American President Woodrow Wilson in 1906. This fabulous property acts as the perfect base from which to explore the stunning valleys and fells that surround it, before returning back to Loughrigg to enjoy the comfort and warmth that lies within.
Itâs clear that this Grade ll listed building was purposely designed and built to command stunning views, which is rare for houses of this era. Now, itâs the perfect place to rejuvenate and spend quality time together and enjoy period features alongside twenty first century comforts, combining gracious living, with a contemporary feel and sophistication.
