St Matthews Cottages - Pet-Friendly Holiday Home in Allonby
Amenities
St Matthews Cottages offers a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and gas hob, plus a washing machine for muddy walks. The living room has a fireplace with logs provided, and outdoor furniture is available in the shared courtyard. Free WiFi and free on-site private parking are included, though WiFi signal is strongest downstairs.
Accommodation
The holiday home has two bedrooms - one double and one twin - plus a bathroom with both a bath and a shower. The double bed is noted by some guests as creaky and soft, while the single beds offer an alternative. A TV and dining table complete the living space, and the property is non-smoking throughout.
Location
St Matthews Cottages sits in the village of Allonby, 34 km from Derwentwater and 35 km from Buttermere. The beach is a short walk away, and the property provides a quiet, remote base for exploring the northern Lake District. Newcastle International Airport is 122 km from the cottage, and a car is essential due to limited mobile phone signal.

The owner responds quickly to queries and has provided extra logs for the fire during storms. Many guests plan return stays, citing the good value and well-equipped kitchen as key reasons.
