About this property

A warm welcome for couples, families and four furry friends awaits in this home from home. Enjoy local pubs, coffee shops and restaurants in Keswick, as well as exploring the beautiful countryside.

Keswick is a bustling town with a good range of independent shops just perfect for browsing; books, outdoor clothing, antiques and sweet treats. Across the river is Fitz Park with a fantastic children's playground and tennis courts and Keswick Museum. Spend the day exploring Derwentwater by steamer or rowing boat; tackle the climb up Scafell Pike, England s highest mountain; or take an underground tour at Honister Slate Mine, 9 miles away the brave amongst you can attempt the Via Ferrata. Just 5 miles away Whinlatter Forest Park has graded cycling and walking trails for all abilities, a popular cafe and play park, and thrill seekers will love the high ropes course. The ancient and mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circle sits just above the town and well worth a visit. Penrith is 17 miles away and is the largest town in the area with a good mixture of independent and high street shops as well as many places to eat. Cream walls and warm wooden floors are complemented by bright textiles and colourful artwork adding character to this charming property. Through a set of French doors, enter the ground floor of this cottage, bright with natural light. The living room has a comfortable five seater leather corner settee, and matching leather armchair perfect for gathering everyone together. On chilly evenings light the gas fire and settle down for a cosy evening, watching a DVD as your dog snoozes in front of the flickering flames. The well stocked kitchen includes a gas oven and four ring hob, dishwasher, microwave, freestanding fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The dining room adjoins the living room and the table seats up to seven guests, ideal for sociable meals at any time of day.
