The Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum is a short 0.5-mile walk, where you can discover more about the area’s rich mining past and take a ride on the impressive narrow gauge stream train.

Stairs lead upstairs to the main apartment, where you are greeted by the comfortable lounge/diner, a bright and spacious room with sofas, a TV, DVD and a wood burner-effect electric fire. This room has high ceilings, and a traditional fireplace, perfect for enjoying the views from the windows or sipping a glass of wine at the dining table. The kitchen is practical and convenient with an electric cooker, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Two king-size bedrooms complete this floor, both sharing the family bathroom with its shower over the bath and WC.

A really good well sized cottage in a great location to access Keswick and Borrowdale but also allowing easy access to Ullswater and Windermere. The view of Blencathra to the front is spectacular and the tilt and turn windows to the front help to make the most of this view.

When we first arrived there was a horrible dog smell. There were lots of dog hair which was unpleasant. The beds aren't great, especially the one in the second bedroom. Plus side, great views of Blancather.. Properties location is great.

Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. The issues raised have now been resolved

Very comfortable cottage in a quiet location with lovely views (when the rain clouds lift!). Only 10 minutes drive from Keswick for shops etc. and there is a campsite over the road with a handy shop for essentials. The cottage is in the middle of the terrace, the door is at the back and the parking spot is at the front so its a few mins walk betweeRead moren the two, but you can drive through the back alley to drop stuff off. Behind the house is a green with a playground which our ten year old enjoyed. Hide

Perfect location. Great space. Amazing views. Lovely owner. Farmshop nearby is very handy & well stocked. No smart TV (would be perfect addition!) & 3rd bedroom is an extra not a given (Not clear from description). Although dogs are welcome there are lots of rules stated in the cottage info book that contradict that!
