Take a boat trip and head out across Derwentwater for a family-friendly day out and visit the lakeside villages and scenic spots such as Catbells, Lodore Falls and Portinscale.

As you step into the entrance hall of this spacious property, you'll immediately feel the warm and welcoming ambience of the house. The heart of the house is the spacious open plan kitchen/diner. Equipped with all the modern appliances and amenities you could wish for. The large dining area adjacent to the kitchen provides ample space for your entire group to gather and enjoy meals together. The lounge is a true haven of relaxation, sink into the plush sofas and immerse yourself in entertainment with the Smart TV. On chillier evenings, the wood burner adds a touch of cosiness. The real highlight of the lounge is the spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding fells. The conservatory offers a serene space to unwind, the large windows perfectly frame the breathtaking views. There is also a convenient downstairs shower room. The boot room is perfect for storing muddy boots and bikes. As you ascend the stairs to the first floor, you’ll find a handy WC, ascend further and you’ll be greeted by the king-size bed which ensures a restful night's sleep while being treated to the same awe-inspiring views that grace the downstairs.

We had such a brilliant time at Walla Yat. The location is superb (but a very steep walk back from Keswick!) and it was a true home from home experience.

Great value for money, comfortable for my family of 5. Smart location - 20 min walk to the city of Keswick, but also secluded and private. Nice view and a good position to start a trek to Wala Crag or around the lake over Cat bells. Wish I could stay longer.

Our 3rd stay at Walla Yat and was just as good as we remember. Clean and spacious house. Absolutely ideal for a family holiday. Excellent location with lovely views over Keswick. Plenty of garden space for the children to play. We will definitely return.

The house was in a great location with easy access to Keswick and the surrounding areas but at the same time, in a peaceful spot. Spacious with a very well equipped large kitchen/diner and large lounge and bedrooms. Spotlessly clean with double beds that were very comfortable with firm mattresses and a really comfy 3 piece suite in the lounge. The Read morehouse was decorated for Christmas which we really appreciated. Hide
