About this property
Settled on the idyllic setting of Burnside Park, in the shadow of the magnificent Skiddaw mountain, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Derwent Lodge. Boasting off-road parking, a lush, lawned garden, and a tastefully-presented, open-plan living space, this delightful lodge welcomes a family of four or a group of sharing friends who are seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape to the heart of the Lake District National Park. Once you've parked up and unpacked your belongings, make yourself comfortable in your lovely new home-from-home, by getting to work in the fully-equipped corner kitchen, where the chosen chef will find all the appliances they'll need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked meal. Savour your dinners as a group around the dining table, or head outside into the pristine garden to enjoy some alfresco dining on the garden furniture when the sun is shining overhead. In the evenings, gather in the plush sitting room and stick a film on the Smart TV as you're kept warm and toasty by an electric, log-effect fire. When sleep finally calls, rejuvenate with a long, hot shower before you finally hunker down for a much-needed rest in one of the two inviting bedrooms. If you can tear yourself away from your fabulous base, head out to explore the very best of what Keswick has to offer. Head out on foot into the town where you can stock up on supplies at Booths supermarket, settle down for a traditional pub lunch at the Dog & Gun, before taking a walk through the serene setting of Hope Park. You'll never run out of things to do in Keswick, with regular performances at the Theatre by the Lake, The Lake District Wildlife Park, The Puzzling Place, and the Keswick Museum offering visitors days’ worth of enjoyment. There is also an outdoor market every Thursday and Saturday, so be sure to snag a bargain during your stay! Choose Derwent Lodge for the ultimate getaway to the Lake District.
The tourist hub of the northern Lake District is the well-known town of Keswick, which has a lot to offer travellers at any time of year. The town offers a wide variety of stores and eateries to suit every taste, as well as miniature golf, wonderful parks, the renowned Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing, and fantastic mountain biking opportunities. Derwentwater, a beautiful lake at the head of the breathtaking Borrowdale Valley, is only a short stroll from the town centre. The stunning Newlands Valley is nearby, situated between Braithwaite and Buttermere, and the charming Bassenthwaite Lake is definitely worth a visit. Everything from a leisurely stroll through the countryside to a strenuous walk up Skiddaw or the renowned Catbells is available. Visit the Jennings Brewery, Mirehouse, a magnificent home and gardens on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, or go on a wonderful boat tour of Derwentwater. Any time of year, this is a great Lakeland destination thanks to the abundance of family-friendly attractions, beautiful parks, and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park.

Lots of storage, comfortable beds, clean and a well equipped kitchen. The lodge is so close to wonderful walks and a fantastic pub, which Iâd highly recommend but book as it gets busy - The pheasant inn. A walk quick walk through Fitz park takes you to the centre of Keswick. My only criticism is I booked the week were road works at night were happening, on the roundabout but other than that, the noise from the traffic wasnât an issue. I left music on at night to drown out the noise and this seemed to work. A lovely lady who stays at the lodges two times a year assured me this was unfortunate and never normally happens. Roadworks canât be helped and it didnât ruin our trip, as previously mentioned the lodge is great.

The sofas and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a lovely touch to find a pint of milk, plum loaf and pot of jam awaiting us on arrival. Heating was good and the shower poweful snd hot. For the rainy evenings it was useful to have a smart tv and wifi with streaming availability. Although the Lodge is very near a main road the slight noise of traffic did not detract from the lovely views and it was great to be in such short walking distance from Keswick. We would definitely stay here again. My only constructive criticism would be that there is no recycling bins on the site, which was a shame.
