Keswick is a bustling market town situated next to Derwentwater and surrounded by mountains. There is much to do here such as peruse the shops, dine at the restaurants or visit one of the many museums and tourist attractions. An abundance of walks is waiting to welcome you, from gentle lakeside strolls, to fell hiking. Head 6.5 miles to the fell, Blencathra or 5 miles to Skiddaw mountain, and admire the stunning views across the Northern Lake District. Go fishing, hire a boat or take part in other water sports on the fantastic Derwentwater. The regular launch service here takes visitors around the lake and stops at various notable points including the walled garden that inspired Beatrix Potter and a waterfall. Alternatively, visit Whinlatter Forest Park (5 miles) for further walks and thrilling cycling trails.

This wonderful home has been stylishly decorated and furnished throughout. The front door opens into the hallway, where you can hang up your coats and place your walking boots before heading through to the lounge/diner. A wood burner will keep you warm as you take a seat on the comfortable sofas and watch your favourite series or film on the Smart TV. The dining area has a large table and chairs with a door leading out to a patio space. A country-style kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, coffee pod machine, dishwasher and plenty of surface space to cook up a storm. The downstairs WC houses a washer/dryer for you to use, too. Upstairs, you will find the two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The super-king-size bedroom’s sumptuous bed is irresistible. There is also a Smart TV in this room, the perfect place to relax.

This is a lovely clean and comfortable cottage. Very easy to use the heating and light the log burner which was very welcome as it snowed, sleeted, rained and was very windy at times during our stay. It was perfect to park and walk into the town to eat and walks to the river and lake. Really tastefully decorated with everything you may need, highlyRead more recommended, we would definitely stay here again Hide

We had a really lovely week at this cottage. Its very central to Keswick but in a quiet street. It was cosy warm despite the cold weather and the storm outside. Only slight negative for us was the bed mattresses that were very saggy and need updating. Overall we would definitely recommend this cottage.
