A beautifully converted barn, with lots of character less than a mile from Bassenthwaite Lake, where some fabulous walks from your front door await.

Escape the day-to-day with a stay in this characterful converted barn in Bassenthwaite. If you're looking to experience the spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages, and wild walks in the countryside, you need look no further. This cottage is ideal for an adventurous family of four and their two furry companions.

Head across the cobbles and enter this charming property, where you can kick off muddy boots and hang up unravelled scarves. The exposed stone walls and original beams in the lounge offer a traditional, homely feel, and a deep cushy sofa beckons you to relax with a glass of wine. Mealtimes will be a breeze in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, which is decked out with farmhouse-style cabinets and space for your canine chums to chomp down dinners. The shared patio is ideal for al fresco dining or playing ball with the pups on warmer evenings. The two bedrooms are furnished with neutral tones and soft linens to ensure a good night's sleep.

Follow the trail on a 1-mile walk down to Bassenthwaite Lake and around the pathway, where you can enjoy watching swooping osprey and spot rare flora and fauna all year round. If you want to sniff out other trails, Grasmoor, Fleetwith Pike, Buttermere, and Whinlatter Forest are all within 10 miles of the cottage. Thrill seekers will be itching to test their nerves against the peaks of Skiddaw (2.5 miles) before treating the peckish pups to some delicious dishes in the restaurants of Keswick (7 miles).

Nice stay at the cottage, with a short drive to Keswick. Great meal at the Sun Inn which is 1 mile away. Dog walks from the cottage werent always ideal, the sheep paddocks were quite wet and the roads were quite busy with no paths.

It was a comfortable and cosy cottage beautifully located away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick, yet close enough to get the necessities.

A very lovely cottage. The scenery is amazing and the site is open to allow views of the mountains. Very comfortable and clean. A quiet situation with mostly just the noise of the sheep and birds. Lots of information about local attractions. We had a wonderful holiday and highly reccomend this cottage. Would love to come back and explore further asRead more it's a good base for the area. Hide
