Make a romantic retreat to this welcoming 19th-century, Lakeland cottage to the east of the lively market town of Keswick. Sleeping two guests in one bedroom, the unique property is in a great location for exploring the town, 1 mile away, with its independent shops and boutiques, as well as its eateries, cinema, theatre and museums. Stroll down to Derwentwater, about 1.5 miles from the cottage, to follow footpaths or book a seat on a cruise out on the lake. Drive to the marina, 3.5 miles away, to try canoeing, kayaking or windsurfing. Visit the Castlerigg Stone Circle, less than 1 mile from the cottage; plan a day trip to Grasmere, 15 miles away to see Wordsworth’s House and Garden.
Follow the steps up to the garden and open the door to find a reception hall, with storage for outerwear and access to the rest of the inviting accommodation. Wander on through into the lounge/kitchen/diner, with its wooden floor, vaulted ceiling and revealed woodwork. Settle on the sofa to watch a film on the satellite TV. Find a book to read or puzzle to complete or simply take in the fell views to Latrigg. Discover the modern kitchen area close by which has an oven, induction hob, microwave, a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Make yourself a cup of tea or pour yourself a glass of something from the welcome pack; then start thinking about dinner. Prepare a romantic meal to enjoy together at the table. Further on in the cottage is the stylish bathroom, which has a shower, bath and WC, then the bedroom, with its king-size bed and distant mountain views to Grisdale Pike and the Coledale Horseshoe.
