Fabulously cosy and stylishly finished this cottage is perfect for sociable getaways, enjoy time in the Adventure Capital of England before getting all snug back at this bolthole.
Keswick is a top dog destination for exploring the Lake District National Park, and where better to rest your paws than this cosy property. Sleeping four humans and two hounds, you’ll soon be taking to the beautiful shores of Derwentwater for cruises, sailing and water sports, or meandering along the various footpaths leading deep into Whinlatter Forest. Refuel with a tasty pub lunch or pack a picnic to keep your energy levels up as you explore, and when the day is done, light the fire and snuggle up in comfort.
Beneath the charming exterior of this traditional miners cottage is a living space decorated in soothing colours, making the rustic beams and open fire all the more homely. Your morning coffee is a treat when curled up on the sofas, and at breakfast time, the table is a sociable spot for dining as a group – don’t forget to share with Fido! There’s a kitchen equipped with all the necessities for cooking up feasts, and completing the ground floor is a shower room. A winding set of spiral stairs lead up to two elegant bedrooms and another shower room, a sanctuary when you are weary from your adventures. Your outside space is brilliant for an evening glass of wine but may not be secure for the most determined of hounds who are keen to follow a scent.
Seasoned hill-climbers and gentle amblers alike will delight in the opportunities available across the stunning countryside. Board a traditional launch on Derwentwater and disembark somewhere new such as Hawse End to tackle the Catbells. Hop in the car and park close to the foothills of Skiddaw (5.5 miles away), preparing to scale to the summit to soak up the views. Bassenthwaite Lake, Buttermere and Ullswater are also captivating within 15.5 miles.
