Enjoy the best of all worlds at this delightful holiday home, set within a building dating back to the 1860s. The two-bedroom property sleeps four guests in two bedrooms and is in a great location for accessing vibrant Keswick, as well as the northern swathe of the Lake District. Enjoy shopping in independent outlets and dining out in great pubs and restaurants. Visit museums, take a brewery tour, go to the cinema or watch a play at the Theatre by the Lake. Head down to the shore, less than 1 mile from the cottage, to go out on a launch or to hire a boat. Follow the 10-mile path all the way around the lake to take in the impressive scenery on foot.

Make your way into this charming, reverse-level house via an entrance hall where you can hang your jackets and leave your wellies. Find a washing machine and tumble dryer in a cupboard down here too. Both of the elegant king-size bedrooms are also on this level, each with a TV: one of these has an en-suite bathroom, with a shower over the bath and WC. The other bedroom has access to the family shower room with WC. Climb the open stairs up to the open-plan kitchen/diner, with its vaulted and beamed ceiling and wooden floor. It has been equipped with an electric oven and plate warmer, gas hobs and microwave. It also has a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and coffee pod machine. A outdoor staircase from here leads to the rear of the house and parking. After dinner, wander through to the lounge to enjoy the wood burner. Settle on the sofas, switch on the Smart TV with Freeview and other apps including Netflix or choose a DVD to watch on the Blu-ray player with a selection of discs.

Take a cup of fresh coffee and a book from the shelf out into the enclosed garden to enjoy on sunny days whilst absorbing the far-reaching views. There is lockable shed for storing your bicycles and other outside gear in. There is also parking for one car at the property.

All very good thank you. The bed and sofa were a little soft for our preference but that is just personal. It was lovely and warm with a well stocked kitchen. Nice quality accessories. Well positioned for access to the fells. A delightful holiday cottage, would definitely stay again.

Very hard to fault this property in any way. Well designed conversion. Very tastefully decorated. Very comfortable. Very clean. Well equipped. And well located for North Lakes. We have stayed in many self catering properties in the Lakes over many decades. This is one of the best and one we feel that we would like to return to.

The Stables is a lovely house, comfortable beds, great showers. House was not as clean as I would have hoped or expected with excessive dusk and cobwebs behind the bed, beside tables, stairs etc. We did report this and a cleaner was sent but made little to no difference. House is close to lovely pub and short walk to town centre which was ideal.Read more Unsure if I would stay again as at the price I paid I felt the cleanliness was not up to standard.

Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback, the cleanliness points have been fed back and resolved.

A top notch property. It was once the stable of the Old Vicarage. The flooring of the second level appears to be that of the original loft. Delightful! We're yanks but veterans of Cumbria and the North of England. We always choose the best self-catering cottages available, according to our research results. The Stables met our high standards.
