Property code: OC-SZ219

Discover the hidden gem that is the village of Grange, located just 1 mile from the south of the impressive Derwentwater and with the ever-popular town of Keswick just 5 miles away. Wake up each morning to the sight of glorious mountains and begin walking from your very front door, discovering the peaks of Dale Head (5 miles) and Robinson (6.5 miles) close by. Those eager to tackle the Lake District’s highest mountain, Scaffel Pike, will find the mountain a handy 9 miles away – the perfect hike for experienced mountaineers. Alternatively, those who prefer a more relaxing stay in the Cumbrian countryside can venture to Keswick for tourist attractions, an independent cinema and lakeside theatre, or jump in the car to visit the popular town of Windermere (18 miles).

Boasting a contemporary décor throughout, it’s clear to see that this property has been decorated with a true eye for style. Step inside the porch and leave your outdoor gear before entering the hall which has a handy WC. The hub of this home is its open plan living/dining area, a generous space that’s kept cosy thanks to a wood burner in a stylish slate fireplace. Three sofas ensure everyone has space to relax on an evening, whilst Smart TV offers plenty in the way of entertainment. Completing this room is a generous dining table with far-reaching views to be enjoyed over meals. Whoever gets tasked with preparing meals will have use of an Aga, dishwasher and microwave, as well as a handy wine fridge and washer/dryer. A TV in this room ensures your group’s chef is kept entertained. Two of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor as well as a family bathroom with WC and shower over bath and a rear porch that leads out to the garden. The first of these bedrooms is a king-size with views towards Skiddaw and the second a twin room (that can be made into a super king on request) with views to Castle Crag and the Barrowdale fells. Head upstairs to two further bedrooms which boast far-reaching mountain views from their elevated windows. There's a king-size and another twin that can be made into a super-king-size on request. Finally, a bathroom room with WC and shower completes the property.

As impressive outside as it is inside, an enclosed garden with mature flora and a bench for relaxing has views down the valley to Keswick. The grounds also boast a further garden with patio furniture and a stream running through. Finally, a lockable garage is available and is perfect for storing bikes or sports equipment.

Tucked at the back of the village of Grange on a very quiet road lies this tranquil cottage. It is warm and welcoming - everything worked well from the Aga to keep the house cosy on rainy days - and we had several ! . Id keep any children ( and my elderly parent) away from using the Aga as it is super hot however we got used to using it pretty quicRead morekly and it was a very cool feature . A superbly stocked kitchen with pretty much every gadget needed for cooking and plenty of plates / silverware . All the beds were very comfortable and rooms a good size . Beautiful views from all the windows - and garden plenty space for parking ( which is hard to come by on many rental properties ) lovely cafe in the village ( walkable) and local farms you can walk to to buy local produce. The best part for us was being able to walk out the door and on to the paths of the fells with lots of directions to go without getting in the car - Amazing! Hide

Gratitude is by far the most well-appointed holiday cottage we have stayed in, and in a perfect location. It was very clean and tastefully decorated throughout.

Although the Aga stove took a bit of getting used to, it performed well. We would very happily return in the future. Hide

What a great place to stay- in the heart of Borrowdale, lovely walks from the front door, quiet with wonderful views. The house was spacious and extremely well appointed- a lot of careful thought has gone in to create this place. Close to places to eat when we wanted. Keswick and all of the surrounding fells were easily accessible. Thank you

It would have been 5 star throughout if we hadn't had a problem with the Aga which meant we had to have two evening meals at hotels; also it takes very careful management if doing a dinner for eight. Otherwise the cottage is very well equiped. Excellent cottage is superb location.
