This charming cottage is situated in the friendly village of Threlkeld at the base of Blencathra.

The bustling market town of Keswick is only 5 miles away which boasts a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs as well as a cinema and theatre. The beautiful lakes of Derwentwater (4.5 miles) and Ullswater (10 miles) are perfect for a scenic stroll, renting a boat or going on a cruise to take in the stunning surroundings. Thrill seekers will love a trip to Whinlatter Forest (8.5 miles) which puts the mountain back into biking. With climbs to breathtaking vistas and rewarding descents, the trails are perfect for those searching for their next adrenaline hit. The popular towns of Grasmere, Ambleside and Windermere are also within easy reach, all within 20 miles.

The room features an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower over a luxurious bath, allowing you to relax and unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Also on the ground floor are two twin bedrooms. A modern wet room with a shower is also located on the ground floor. The upper level of the cottage features the heart of the property; the open-plan kitchen and dining area. This space boasts high ceilings and exposed wooden beams that add to the cottage's character.

Patio doors open onto a decked area of the garden, allowing you to bring the outdoors in, and providing breathtaking views of the surrounding fells.

The bedrooms really let this property down as the kitchen-diner and lounge are both great. Two of the rooms are really better suited to children and feel a bit like poor quality skiing accommodation. The wet room has a great shower but is a difficult space to share with other guests unless they like wet feet/socks/slippers. The heating is generouslRead morey hot and we had to turn the radiators down or off. Lovely location and views with great walks from the front door. Hide
