A historic cottage in a very quiet location, close to Keswick and superb mountain walks. The downstairs is spacious: a choice of fireside sitting, dining room, kitchen/diner and outdoor dining. The lovely garden faces south and east and opens directly onto the surrounding countryside. The large master bedroom has great views to the mountains. Some Read morefinishes are a little tired, and the other bedrooms are rather small; but the kitchen & bathroom are good and modern. Overall, full of character. Hide

Lattrigg view is a beautiful, spacious cottage in a brilliant location, near enough to Keswick for the shops but far enough away for peace and quiet. We particularly loved the garden which we made full use of on a brilliantly sunny week. I would have loved a wet day just to spend in the cottage to read all the interesting books!
