About this property
Dating back to 1727, this stylish house combines beautifully restored period features with everything you need for a comfortable Lake District holiday. It has space for eight guests, so an excellent option for a holiday with extended family or friends. You’ll be in the vibrant market town of Keswick – known as the UK’s adventure capital for its proximity to outdoor pursuits like rock climbing, paddleboarding, fell walking and wild swimming. The town itself has a pretty river running through it, along with a museum, a gallery, and all the shops and restaurants you’ll need, all within 0.5 miles. The banks of Derwentwater are also just 0.5 miles away, where you can hire a motorboat or tackle the spectacular 10-mile circuit around the lake. Keen walkers and climbers will be spoilt for choice, with Skiddaw (5 miles) and Blencathra (7 miles) providing rewarding challenges.

An impressive Georgian staircase leads to the first floor, home to a flexible twin bedroom that can be made into a super-king-size on request for an additional £15 charge. The family bathroom is also on this floor and features both a bath and separate shower. The lounge completes this floor, showcasing original beams and shuttered windows, along with three sofas, oak furniture, smart TV. Head up one more floor to find another twin bedroom, which can also be converted into a super-king-size bed for a £15 charge, plus another king-size bedroom.
