1 OF 4 PROPERTIES LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE BEAUTIFUL LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK

ENJOY A GROUP GATHERING BY BOOKING 4 PROPERTIES TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO 16 PEOPLE

These stunning ground-floor mews cottages and one two-storey cottage are set within this beautiful Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering accommodation for both families and couples in an area surrounded with spectacular walks.

Nestled in the peaceful village of Thornthwaite in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming rural retreat is perfect for friends and family who love the great outdoors. It’s a wonderful base from which to explore the Northern Lakes and is a magnet for cyclists, walkers and their canine companions. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, along with two dogs, this mews cottage is one of four which can be booked together for larger groups.

Designed with your comfort and relaxation in mind, this pretty home enjoys many traditional features which add to its character. In the cosy lounge, comfortable sofas provide the perfect spot to curl up and relax after a busy day of exploring, with a gas fire offering a little extra warmth on chillier evenings. If you’re not eating out, then you’ll find all you need in the delightful kitchen to rustle up something tasty, before gathering everyone around the dining table to catch up on the day’s events. Wake up to those stunning countryside views in the bedrooms, which are each decorated in calming, neutral tones. French doors lead out into the garden from the lounge, where you’ll be able to take a seat in your private garden and enjoy a sunset drink on the patio.

Pull on your walking boots or hop on your bikes and set off on one of the many trails that surround the cottage. Try out some of the fantastic eateries in the bustling market town of Keswick (3.5 miles) before taking a wander around its independent shops and museums. Challenge yourself with a climb to the top of Skiddaw (8 miles) where the views make the effort worthwhile. If you’re feeling a little more leisurely, enjoy a pleasure boat cruise at Derwentwater, 5.5 miles away.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.

Was very good place to stay. Perfectly placed just outside Keswick. Some lovely little walks to be had with a small child and dog. The dogs loved all the room in the cottage. Only issue we had was parking one day with all the visitors to the gallery taking up all the spaces. Despite our holiday being cut short by lockdown. We would definitely stay Read morehere again Hide

We had a lovely week in The Cloisters. The cottage is very spacious, and the bedrooms are cosy. It is perfectly situated to explore the Lakes and the surrounding coast. We even made a trip up to Hadrian's Wall on one day.

We have just spent a week in this property. The accommodation was lovely and clean with everything provided that you could need. The views over the mountains from the property are outstanding and the owners were very accommodating, even bringing our dog biscuit treats! We hope to stay here again in the not too distant future.

Beautiful! The house had a garden for the dog and plenty of space for our space to run around. The beautiful scenery all around kept the inlaws happy and the warm open plan living areas kept me happy. Our son has autism and the space both inside and outside meant he could run around and be safe.

The Lake District National Park is a superb choice for a holiday. If you love nature and the great outdoors, the Lake District is one of the UK’s most beautiful holiday destinations. Taking up the lion’s share of the north-western county of Cumbria, the region has been popular with visitors since Victorian times, and it’s the only place to find mountains in England. Peace and tranquillity characterise the wonderful Lake District, with 16 lakes, including England’s longest and deepest, there is much to see and do. Visit Coniston Water, Ullswater, Wast Water and Windermere for just a taste of what you can see in the Lake District National Park.

Small towns like Ambleside, Windermere, Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere and Glenridding all make for great bases from which to relax and unwind between sojourns into the fantastic natural landscapes of the Lake District National Park. Wildlife and bird lovers can spot all kinds of lesser spotted species in situ, and walking trails reveal some of the very best vistas within English borders. To embellish the experience, you can enjoy some of the country’s cosiest pubs and restaurants, many found in picture-perfect locations.
