Whether returning from a day of walking, hiking or biking amongst the fantastic Lakeland scenery, this beautiful home from home offers the ideal place to relax and unwind.

Being located in the heart of traditional Portinscale, this is the ideal location for getting out and about to explore both the immediate and wider area. Portinscale offers a choice of places to eat and drink, perfect when you don’t feel like cooking your own meals. Walk from the door into Keswick or through the pastoral splendour of Newlands Valley, or potter to the shores of Derwentwater to enjoy the view. Climb Skiddaw,to enjoy panoramic views of the Lake District and, on clear days, right across to Scotland. Cyclists can challenge themselves on Whinlatter, Honister and Newlands Passes to Buttermere or try the off-road tracks at Whinlatter. Those looking for a slower pace can explore Mirehouse and its rambling gardens, take a cruise on Derwentwater or take in a show at the ever-popular Theatre by the Lake. Keswick has a myriad of places to eat and a good range of independent shops to browse and a great ice cream parlour.

Stepping into the hall of this reverse-level property, find the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for discarding damp coats and muddy boots. There are also dog towels available for those canine rub downs. The charming, ground-floor, king-size bedroom overlooks the front garden and boasts a TV and ample storage. The family bathroom also on the ground floor has a bath with handheld shower. Upstairs, find the twin bedroom and the double bedroom, both boasting ample storage with the skylights perfect for stargazing from bed or waking with the sunlight streaming in. The double bedroom has views over the village to the fells and an en-suite shower room. Dual aspect with a vaulted ceiling, the open-plan living space is the heart of the house – welcoming, comfortable and perfect for gathering everyone together. An open archway leads to the kitchen/dining room where two skylights bring in plenty of light. The dining table seats six for sociable mealtimes, while the kitchen contains an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.

Outside to the front, there is a fully enclosed paved garden with outdoor furniture for six people to dine alfresco in comfort whilst relaxing to the sounds of nature with views over the rooftops to Bleaberry Fell. Bike storage is available in the shed tucked around the corner.

The location is simply fantastic, offering breathtaking views and easy access to all the beauty the Lake District has to offer. The cottage itself is spacious and beautifully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a cRead moreomfortable stay. Truely a home away from homes. I highly recommend Braeside Cottage to anyone looking for a perfect getaway in the Lake District. Hide

Spacious apartment which suits our extended family plus 2 dogs. Lovely big lounge and kitchen/diner. Lots of appliances which makes it very comfortable. An air-fryer was a new addition since we last stayed. This is our 3rd stay at Braeside and we have already booked again for next year!

A really lovely flat, with plenty of space and light. Everything we needed was there including dog towels! A peaceful place with Keswick just a short walk away. I expect we will be back.

Beautiful, comfortable property in very convenient location. Lots of walking from the front door, inc Catbells - or walk to Lingholm Gardens, Nichol End or into central Keswick, all in 15-20 mins. The apartment is well equipped and also has lots of games and books, maps and local information. The Chalet downstairs has excellent food, as does the FaRead morermers' Arms in the village. Really enjoyed staying at Braeside and hope to visit again. Hide
