For the cycling enthusiasts among you, travel 5.5 miles to Whinlatter Forest Park, where there is a great network of mountain biking trails. Here you can keep adventurous guests entertained with a visit to Go Ape! or a wander along the walking paths, keeping an eye out for ospreys. Two miles from home is the vibrant market town of Keswick. Enjoy a night away from the kitchen at one of the many eateries or treat family and friends to a film at the cinema or a show at Theatre by the Lake. Board a boat at the launch and explore Derwentwater, hopping on and off at lakeside villages for walks, drinks or picnics.
Head inside the house and make your way into the large lounge to relax and unwind after your journey. Get the open fire roaring and curl up on one of the comfortable sofas. There’s a TV and DVD player for a family film night or a movie night with friends in the comfort of your own home. The contemporary kitchen/diner also has a TV as well as a dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker and fridge. There is plenty of worktop space for a couple of guests to cook, and the utility room has a freezer along with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Dine at the large table, admire the magnificent views through the windows and enjoy a communal meal together. Climb the stairs to find the four first-floor bedrooms: a spacious king-size bedroom, a large twin, and two singles, all with built-in wardrobes. There’s also two shower rooms and a separate WC on this floor. Heading up to the second floor, find the remaining four bedrooms and take care of sloping ceilings. Choose between the king-size room, the twin bedroom, or one of two single rooms, all with Velux windows. Start your day with a soak in the family bathroom with WC, or the shower room with WC.
A top sunset spot, the enclosed patio boasts marvellous, far-reaching views and has a table with chairs to seat all guests. There is also a garden area where you can bask in the sun. There is off-road parking for four cars and more parking available down the road.
