Property code: 92500

This spacious holiday home enjoys a picturesque, fellside location, less than 8 miles from Keswick. Sleeping six guests and two canine companions, the accommodation is ideal for large families and groups of friends. The area is a paradise for dog walkers, with footpaths taking you along the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake (2 miles) or to the summit of Skiddaw (6.5 miles).

The attractive slate bungalow has a home-away-from-home vibe, with neutral decor, cosy exposed woodwork, and an abundance of creature comforts. The inviting lounge is a lovely place to unwind after a long walk, watching the Smart TV whilst Rover and Fido toast their paws by the wood burner. On a summer’s day, throw open the French doors so they can potter in and out of the garden. The vast kitchen/diner is a bright and open space, where you can whip up delicious feasts to enjoy together around the dining table. Just off the kitchen/diner is the garage for storing outdoor gear. The property has three beautiful bedrooms, one of which has en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. Outside, an enclosed garden envelops the bungalow, featuring grassed areas where the pups can play and a sunny seating area for al fresco dining.

Just 12 miles from the property is Whinlatter Forest Park, with its mile upon mile of waymarked walking trails to explore with your waggy-tailed friends. There are also some beautiful picnic spots, adventure play areas, and Go Ape for the adventurous members of the party. The pretty town of Keswick (8.5 miles) has a lot to offer, including fabulous independent eateries, traditional pubs, and cute cafes, many of which welcome four-pawed diners. Keswick sits on the banks of Derwentwater, and a ride with the hounds on the Keswick Launch is a wonderful way to experience the breathtaking surrounding landscape.

We have just returned from our 2 week stay at Horsemoor Lodge. This is a gem of a place and even though the weather tried to dampen our time there we still had a fantastic time. If you enjoy seclusion then this is the place for you. You just have a farm, their sheep and the local wildlife as company. The cottage itself was fantastic, with comfortabRead morele beds, plenty of room and everything you might need for your stay.

A lovely cottage in a lovely area, peaceful and quiet with walks right from the door. Clean, beautifully furnished and very spacious. Very warm, light and bright. Despite a very wet week we had a great time. For those with a dog the garden is completely enclosed.

A hidden gem in the north of the Lakes. Had a brilliant stay, walks on the doorstep with the isolation we crave.

We were very impressed with Horsemoor Lodge and would strongly recommend staying here. Spotlessly clean, spacious and stylish, very warm, a lovely log fire and comfortable beds too. Unfortunately the weather restricted walking in the area and Storm Isha cut off the electricity for a while. We were grateful to Roger and his brother for linking to thRead moree farm generator, and the candles, flasks and logs. A lovely rural area well be back to explore some more. Hide

Just returned from an amazing Christmas stay, the holiday cottage was amazing and the owners made sure we felt Christmassy with the large real Tree lit and decorated, and mince pies and Champagne. We enjoyed that much we have booked to stay again for Christmas 2024 . Highly recommend Horsemoor Lodge

The Horsemoor Lodge is an amazing, spacious cottage in a stunning location. It is especially great for city dwellers who want some peace and quiet time with nature and away from touristy areas. Keswick is close by and so are several walking/hiking trails including the famous Dodd Wood and the Morehouse estate. I would prefer living in BassenthwaiteRead more, Orthwaite over Windermere anyday to truly appreciate what Lake District has to offer over commercialisation seen in Windermere. Hide
