Wander down to Derwentwater or potter in the colourful independent shops when you stay in this charming cottage right at the heart of Keswick. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom bolthole makes an exquisite, romantic retreat for couples seeking to immerse themselves in the delightful town and spectacular Lake District. From here you can also spend time at Bassenthwaite Lake, 4 miles away, or Ullswater, 13 miles away.
Open the door to the enchanting retreat and wander in to find the ground-floor accommodation centres on an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Cuddle up on the sofa in here together on those evenings you choose to stay in, chatting about your day or enjoying a film on the Smart TV. Stroll over to the kitchen to pull a bottle of fizz from the fridge, then perch at the breakfast bar with a glass while your loved one whips up a romantic meal for two. When you are ready to turn in for the night, make your way up the steep, cottage-style stairs to the first floor. Your king-size bedroom, which takes in views towards the picturesque fell of Catbells, has a second Smart TV for those lazy mornings in bed. Run yourself a long hot bubble bath in the bathroom next door before heading down for breakfast. Have morning coffee out on the bench in front of the cottage before heading off on your next adventure.
Treat yourselves to tickets to a show at the Theatre by the Lake, just 0.5 miles away. Catch a launch out on Derwentwater from here too so you can admire the incredible scenery from the lake itself. Follow the Derwentwater Walk, a 10-mile waymarked path which will take you all the way round the lake. Venture 13 miles to see Aira Force Waterfall by the shores of Ullswater.
