About Nab Cottage

Nab Cottage is an atmospheric, traditional guest house and retreat center located by Rydal Water in the Lake District, England, known for its beautiful, isolated setting, cozy rooms, and fresh, wholesome food. Historically home to writer Thomas de Quincey, it now offers a peaceful environment for personal retreats, mindfulness, yoga, and community events, with activities such as meditation, creative expression, and nature walks. Guests can enjoy activities like canoeing on the lake, exploring nearby fell walks and caves, or simply relaxing by the fire in the famous “opium den” room.
