Overview
Property code: LCC19

Set within a large former gentleman’s retreat, this beautiful garden apartment for four people is perfect for adventurers and lovers of the great outdoors. Surrounded by extensive grounds, it enjoys a stunning location under the shadow of Skiddaw and just 2 miles from the bustling town of Keswick. The landscape around it offers ample opportunities for scenic walks and mountain bike rides.

Full of charm and with many characterful period features, this is an elegant and comfortable home. Guests enter through the conservatory, which is a light space that’s perfect for taking in the view with a glass of wine, whatever the weather is up to. The lounge/diner is spacious and tastefully decorated, with a wood burner at its heart, which makes this a great place for everyone to unwind and put their feet up. Enjoy leisurely meals late into the evening at the dining table, which you will be able to rustle up in no time in the contemporary and stylish kitchen. The two restful bedrooms will be a welcome haven at the end of a busy day of exploring, ensuring a restful night’s sleep awaits. Take a seat in the extensive shared gardens which consist of lawns and terraced areas, perfect for soaking up the holiday atmosphere with a glass of something cold.

There are some excellent local walks and trails to follow in the area. Pop to Keswick (3 miles) and meander around its shops, museums and restaurants. While there, trek to the spectacular Castlerigg Stone Circle, which boasts panoramic views over to peaks such as Helvellyn and High Seat.

Fantastic week in the lakes again, helped by the relatively dry weather. Have stayed in Garth cottage before, and pleased to return. Very cosy and comfortable cottage, beds are great. Nespresso machine and complimentary pods are a nice touch, as is the milk on arrival. Frustrating issue with conservatory key (very sticky and difficult to lock and uRead morenlock), but other than that was perfectly fine. Would say the pricing is rather high for the quality, other apartments in the house offer better value Hide

Stupendous location with views over Bassenthwaite. Very peaceful and tranquil. Unfortunately the inside of the property was a let down. Some cleanliness and maintenance issues need to be addressed before we consider returning next year.

Good location, beautiful views from the gardens, only marred by a very large cherry picker parked outside the conservatory. Dustbins full when we arrived and not emptied all week. Inside large and comfortable lounge. Well stocked kitchen. Disappointed that had asked on 2 occasions for the 2nd bedroom to be made as a double and not done.

The cottage is set in probably one of the best locations in the Lake District with stunning views of Skiddaw & Catbells. Keswick is literally only a 5 mins drive, where there is everything you need to enjoy your stay. Derwent water is stunning and is free if you like paddle boarding or other water activities. The cottage itself is well equipped andRead more very clean there is free WiFi & access to plenty of DVD,s and books and games. The Pheasant inn (Keswick) excellent food & friendly staff. Hide
