Being located in the heart of traditional Portinscale, this is the ideal location for getting out and about to explore both the immediate and wider area. Portinscale offers a choice of places to eat and drink, perfect when you don’t feel like cooking your own meals. Walk from the door into Keswick or through the pastoral splendour of Newlands Valley, or potter to the shores of Derwentwater to enjoy the view. Climb Skiddaw,to enjoy panoramic views of the Lake District and, on clear days, right across to Scotland. Cyclists can challenge themselves on Whinlatter, Honister and Newlands Passes to Buttermere or try the off-road tracks at Whinlatter. Those looking for a slower pace can explore Mirehouse and its rambling gardens, take a cruise on Derwentwater or take in a show at the ever-popular Theatre by the Lake. Keswick has a myriad of places to eat and a good range of independent shops to browse and a great ice cream parlour.

Stepping into the hall of this reverse-level property, find the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for discarding damp coats and muddy boots. There are also dog towels available for those canine rub downs. The charming, ground-floor, king-size bedroom overlooks the front garden and boasts a TV and ample storage. The family bathroom also on the ground floor has a bath with handheld shower. Upstairs, find the twin bedroom and the double bedroom, both boasting ample storage with the skylights perfect for stargazing from bed or waking with the sunlight streaming in. The double bedroom has views over the village to the fells and an en-suite shower room. Dual aspect with a vaulted ceiling, the open-plan living space is the heart of the house – welcoming, comfortable and perfect for gathering everyone together. An open archway leads to the kitchen/dining room where two skylights bring in plenty of light. The dining table seats six for sociable mealtimes, while the kitchen contains an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.

Outside to the front, there is a fully enclosed paved garden with outdoor furniture for six people to dine alfresco in comfort whilst relaxing to the sounds of nature with views over the rooftops to Bleaberry Fell. Bike storage is available in the shed tucked around the corner.

I would recommend this house. It is in an excellent location by Derwentwater and near Keswick. We had everything we needed for our stay. My dog had a wonderful time too.

Spacious cottage with good facilities, convenient parking and easy walking access to Keswick, and also on the Derwent Water walking route. We have now stayed there 4 times in the last 6 years, so we obviously like it.

Spacious apartment which suits our extended family plus 2 dogs. Lovely big lounge and kitchen/diner. Lots of appliances which makes it very comfortable. An air-fryer was a new addition since we last stayed. This is our 3rd stay at Braeside and we have already booked again for next year!
