Castle Crag is a spacious, well equipped property in Rosthwaite, directly opposite the Royal Oak. The kitchen is kitted out with plenty of equipment and a good size fridge/freezer. Walks are possible from the doorstep with some detailed in the handy guide (would recommend the Castle Crag walk itself). Private parking available on site and buses appRead moreroximately 50 yards walk into Keswick. Log burner made it extra cosy in a very damp week. Hide

Castle Crag is a beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. It is larger than the pictures suggest and has everything that you need. The location in Rosthwaite is perfect for many hikes that can start outside the door. A very lucky find and we will definitely be back.

Fabulous location for scenery and exploring interesting places. Excellently equipped, immaculate and spacious accommodation with outdoor space to enjoy the view, house martins whirling overhead and the night sky. Local farm shop is a must.

We had a lovely short stay in the apartment. Fantastically located for hikers. There a is lovely farm shop where we picked up delicious lamb pasties for our lunch on both days just 50m from the door. Also sells eggs, emergency tins of soup and toothbrushes. For a proper shop Keswick has a couple of supermarkets. Also 100m or so from the bus route, Read moreso we walked over the top of catbells one day down into Keswick and then took the bus home. We would love to here stay again. Hide
