Overview
Property code: SZ199

Providing tranquil accommodation for a couple or a small family, this beautifully renovated cottage features original exposed beams and is perfect for exploring an idyllic part of the Lake District.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this delightful cottage is just across the road from Dodd Wood, which features a woodland trail and stunning views overlooking the area. Mirehouse and Gardens (0.5 miles) is a superb historic stately home on the banks of the glorious Bassenthwaite Lake. This is a wonderful base for walkers, hikers, and nature lovers, with local destinations including Carl Side, Ullock Pike, Skiddaw and Longlands Fell (all within 7 miles). Heading south, the thriving market town of Keswick (4 miles) lies at the head of Derwentwater and has plenty of great restaurants, independent shops, friendly pubs and popular tourist attractions including the Theatre by the Lake, Derwent Pencil Museum, Puzzling Place, Keswick Adventure Centre and Castlerigg Stone Circle.

We loved our stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed and was lovely and warm. Its very close to Bassenthwaite lake and we did lots of local walks around the lake and in Dodd Forest with our dog. Keswick is a 5 min drive away. The cottage is cosy warm and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The views are stunning, the garden is lovely to play in for the kids, the road (though close) is not a nuisance at all, the house is very centrally located and the rooms were nice. (Good size, good light, nice old features)

really enjoyed our bank holiday weekend in Forest View cottage. It is a great little cottage, watch out for low beams in one of the bedrooms but honestly couldn't fault it at all. Good size garden and lovely views too.

Beautiful clean cottage, very cosy and a great garden area for our dog. We had some beautiful walks that were close and Keswick town was only a few miles away! The only thing was our check in time was 5pm and check out time was 9.30am. We would have benefitted from an earlier check in time.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location near Bassenthwaite but only a few minutes drive from Keswick. There are some great walks through Dodd woods and up to Low Dodd peak starting just up the road but be aware that these are hard to access on foot due to the busy and narrow main road. That lack of access to countryside on for is the only small downRead moreside of this house. Hide

We had a fantastic stay at Forest View. Lots of local walks but thoroughly recommend Dodd Wood summit, Skiddaw and walks in Whinlatter Forest. The cottage was a perfect base and was thoughtfully kitted out. The only downside for us was the fact it was right on a busy road so we were not able to walk directly from the property.

Lovely views out the front and from garden, good cottage for 2. Walk through Dodd Wood up to Dodd for fantastic views. Dog friendly but keep your dog on a lead outside as no gate to main road. Garden has open fencing. No access to garden from cottage, you must go out front door and around side. Plenty of parking. Good base for touring, close to KesRead morewick, Mirehouse, Underscar Manor cafe is great. A couple of issues for us, have let owners know, if fixed would give 5 stars. Hide
