With views towards Bassenthwaite, just 7 miles from Keswick. Enjoy kayaking or canoeing on Derwentwater or explore the North Lakes by foot, bike, car, or bus. Mirehouse and Gardens are 4 miles to take a walk down to the shore. The Lake District wildlife park (1 mile) will be a hit for all ages. Set out on foot from the property towards Skiddaw and Blencathra. Skiddaw Summit is England’s fourth highest mountain and offers fabulous panoramic views. Treat yourself to a meal in the local pub which is only 0.5 miles away. The market town of Keswick has a great selection of eateries and rainy-day activities. Head to Whinlatter Forest (9 miles) where you can ride along a host of tracks and trails, there’s a high ropes course, cafe and outdoor play area. Or, for a day of indulgence, enjoy a spa treatment at Armathwaite Hall, less than 1 mile away.

As you approach this attractive converted barn you will find the covered entrance with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a bright and spacious hallway. To the right of the entrance, you will find a handy WC, a utility room, and a well-equipped kitchen that has an island and breakfast bar. The formal dining room leads off the kitchen, this room has views of Bassenthwaite in the distance and offers a great space to sit down as a party and catch up on the day’s events. Head through the French doors from the dining room into the lounge which has feature stone walls, a double-height ceiling with beams that opens into the gallery on the first floor. The large wall-mounted Smart TV is perfectly placed to cosy up on the sofa and watch a good movie. From the lounge you can head back into the hallway, to the left of the entrance on the ground floor you will find three en-suite bedrooms, a king-size, a double and a twin room. Heading up to the first floor from the lounge you will find the unusual landing which moves through the beamed ceiling with a cosy reading snug overlooking the lounge and a small games area to the other side. At either end of the barn on the first floor you will find two spacious en-suite king-size bedrooms one of which has a dressing room and a small lounge area with a TV. Due to the location of these rooms and low beams, there is some restricted head height.
Outside there is a large, enclosed garden with a lawn, a patio and seating. It offers a great spot to read a good book, enjoy a glass of wine or have a coffee on a sunny morning.

A large and spacious property that accomodated 8 of us well. We had an issue on arrival as it had been double booked which led to a stressful situation with another goup who had booked it! Good facilties and well equipped kitchen. Great oven. Nice dining area. Bedrooms spacious.

Gorgeous accommodation and views. Away from civilisation. Lots of space both inside and outside. The Sun Inn and The Peasant are great for food and drink. Not within walking distance for those with mobility issues. The Castle Inn is in walking distance however lacks atmosphere and they don't like walkins.

The stay was absolutely amazing! The house is huge and has pretty much everything you need for a self catered holiday. Each room has its own en-suite bathroom, which is so helpful. The location is ideal and a great place to explore Lake District. Its a few minutes from the biggest lake in Lake District and close to Keswick. The host helped us with Read moreall our questions, check in was super easy and I would highly recommend this property! Thank you for a lovely stay! Hide
