Providing a super base from which to explore the beautiful North Lakes, in the charming village of Thornthwaite, this cosy retreat is perfect for a romantic getaway. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers easy access to beautiful walks, lakes and mountains to explore, and pretty towns and villages to wander around. Sleeping two guests and two of their four-legged companions, the nearest pub and shops are 1 mile away, while there’s also an on-site tearoom to enjoy as well.
Enjoying spectacular views of Skiddaw, this quaint and compact ground-floor mews cottage is both cosy and homely. The open-plan studio apartment space has a comfortable lounge area where you’ll be snuggling up in no time after a busy day of exploring, while the gas fire adds some extra warmth on chillier evenings. The bedroom is also in this area, inviting you to sink down under the covers to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. If you’re in the mood to eat in, then you’ll find all you need in the stylish kitchen to rustle up a snack. Take in the morning with a coffee, or something stronger after sunset, and enjoy those spectacular views in the lovely shared garden. This cottage is one of three, which can be booked together to accommodate larger groups.
Whether you’re donning your walking boots or hopping on a bike, there are some superb routes to follow from your doorstep. Meander around the shops in Keswick (3.5miles) before enjoying a meal in one of its restaurants. If you’re feeling adventurous, follow the Jenkin Hill Path (8 miles), the most popular route for those climbing to the summit of Skiddaw. You’ll be rewarded with magnificent views. Head home and reward yourselves with a visit to the accommodation’s on-site tearoom and gallery.
