Lap up a little luxury when you stay in this lavish cottage at the heart of Keswick, an attractive Lakes town overlooked by magnificent Skiddaw. Sleeping four humans and two pups, the property is ideal for couples and families keen to soak up the scenery and exciting activities the local area has to offer including walking, climbing and water sports. Pop open the champagne on your return, letting sleeping dogs lie by the wood burner as you relax.
Elegant, stylish and equipped with all the home comforts you could wish for, your abode welcomes you with open paws from the moment you walk inside. Let Fido bag the best spot by the wood burner as you kick back and watch TV with your glass of wine, watching his ears perk up as soon as you mention the word ‘dinner’. Speaking of which, the kitchen is a marvellous space for keen cooks and has everything needed to conjure up a feast. Upstairs, both bedrooms boast exquisite views of the mountains beyond – one on the first floor along with a family bathroom and an en-suite, and the other tucked in the eaves of the house. Outside, the small patio is perfect for coffee alfresco.
The gently lapping shores of Derwentwater are top tog for sailing, kayaking and enjoying leisurely cruises around the lake, and there’s also the renowned Theatre by the Lake for a spot of culture afterwards. Sample fine produce at a cafe, restaurant or pub or bring your own in the form of a picnic. The countryside surrounding Keswick offers some of the most staggering scenery you’ll ever come across, so be sure to visit Bassenthwaite Lake, Buttermere and Ullswater all within 15.5 miles.
