Sleeping four people in two charming bedrooms, this comfortable cottage is the perfect springboard for couples, friends or families to enjoy the wonderful surroundings of Lakeland village.

Surrounded by mountains, lakes and countryside, this cottage is situated in the popular village of Braithwaite, just off the A66. With walks and cycle routes right from the door, this area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts to explore, and with two pubs and two restaurants in the village, treat yourself to a delicious meal after a busy day. 2 miles away, find Keswick, a bustling market town on the banks of Derwentwater that has a variety of independent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Find also a cinema and the Theatre by the Lake, great for wet-weather entertainment. For thrillseekers, there are lots of adventure companies to choose from offering a wide range of outdoor pursuits. The Forest of Whinlatter (2 miles) has numerous mountain bike trails and a high ropes course at Go Ape.

Enter into the hallway where there are coat hooks and an under-stairs cupboard with plenty of space for your outdoor gear. The welcoming living room is decorated with a warm palette of colours and has a lovely view out over the stream passing below. With a soft brown leather sofa and large snuggler chair arranged around an open fire, settle down for cosy evenings in after a busy day out, glass of wine in hand and film on the Smart TV. The kitchen is equipped with a built-in fan oven, gas hobs, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. The table seats four so make sure mealtimes are sociable affairs. Completing the ground floor is the back porch, leading off the kitchen and with more room for muddy boots. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are pleasantly furnished with ample storage. The master king-size bedroom has views over the stream and woodland, and the twin room has views over the village. Completing the accommodation, the light, spacious bathroom has a shower over the bath.

Outside to the rear, there is a narrow backyard with a bistro table and four chairs, perfect for al fresco dining morning, noon and night. Take your morning coffee outside and wake up listening to the birdlife and nearby stream.

This is a very comfortable and cosy cottage. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable (we didnt need the twin room) . We liked the location in easy reach of all the amenities. The village shop has all the essentials and you can order delicious fresh bread and pastries. We parked at the nearby church as turninRead moreg in the parking space is tight if you have a large car. This is a great place to stay and we would definitely stay here again. Hide

Lovely cottage cosy, comfortable beds and equipped with everything you need. Location is great, car parking may be a bit tight for some people but there is alternative parking in the church car park. Walks are on your doorstep and Keswick is a lovely walk into rather than trying to park your car.

Wonderful cottage, very well equipped and comfortable. We loved the stream at the front of the house. Brilliant location for getting to walks, and great pubs in the village. We ended up parking at the church which worked well, as the parking space was a bit tight.
