Overview
Property code: SZ533

In the heart of the Lake District National Park, this cosy yet spacious home from home is a welcoming base to return to after a long day spent exploring the surrounding countryside, woodland or out on the water.

Situated in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park and surrounded by mountains, is this comfortable four-bedroom terraced property. With stunning countryside and woodland walks straight from the door, it’s a tranquil spot for a family or group of friends, plus one hound looking for outdoor adventure.

A sense of homely comfort sweeps through the interior of this cosy cottage, with soft furnishings, wood-panelled flooring, exposed stonework, and neutral tones creating a soothing atmosphere. After a day of exploring, kick off boots in the sunroom then pad through to the lounge and relax on the large sofa. With two wood burners to keep toes and paws toasty warm, unwind with a film and your pup at your feet. When it comes to mealtimes, dish up dinner for Fido in the stylish kitchen, then enjoy a sociable dinner at the dining table while admiring the mountain views. Afterwards, head back to the sunroom and watch the sun set over the fells. Sleepyheads can retire upstairs and choose between two doubles, one twin, and a bunk bedroom. All the bedrooms are pleasantly furnished and share a family bathroom. Outside, three patios are dotted with garden furniture so you can bask in the sun while keeping an eye on Fido as he sniffs out new scents in the partially enclosed garden.

With plenty of dog-friendly walking trails straight from your door, you don’t need to go far to enjoy the natural landscape. From Braithwaite, get tails wagging with a hike up Barrow or for more energetic pups, tackle the 9-mile Coledale Horseshoe. Your hound will love scrambling through woods and scampering over moorland as you take in the stunning views from the summit. Alternatively, spend the day at Derwentwater Lake (3 miles) where you can stroll along the shore, splash in the water or enjoy the views from a boat. For shops, restaurants, and tearooms, Keswick is 2.5 miles away.

A fabulous location for walking straight from the house and local pubs and cafe were excellent. Both double beds were in need of new mattresses unless you like saggy beds rather than firm!

The cottage was beautiful. Well equipped, larger than expected and the garden was outstanding - fully enclosed if you have a dog. The location in the village was great with pub and beer garden two minutes away and another less than 10 mins. Looked a great location for walking but that wasn't in our plans. I suppose the only very slight negative wouRead moreld be the size of the bathroom and lounge would be a squeeze if all 8 beds used but that wasn't a problem for us four. Thoroughly recommended.

Turncroft Cottage is a well-equipped, comfortable cottage in a fantastic location. Stayed there just before Xmas so the decorations were appreciated, and the spectacle at the nearby Coledale Inn likewise. Our second pre-Xmas stay there, and extremely cold and icy so unable to make use of the conservatory or the garden, which was a shame as they areRead more attractive spaces. However, the winter scenery around Braithwaite was spectacular. Needless to say we kept to lower level walks! Hide

Spent a wonderful week at Turncroft Cottage in a stunning, peaceful location with beautiful views. Great to have parking for two cars. Cottage was clean and very well equipped. Welcome bottle of Prosecco a nice touch. Lounge, on its own, a little cramped for 7 adults and one dog but the garden room gives that extra space and it was a beautiful spacRead moree to sit in and watch a variety of birds. Walks available from the doorstep and only a short drive to Keswick. Would happily return. Hide
