Experience an incredible blend of outdoor adventure and serene relaxation when staying in this luxurious Lake District retreat. Designed and furnished to an immaculate standard, this converted, Grade-II-listed barn invites two guests to come home from days of adventure to enjoy nights of superb company, dips in the hot tub and snoozes in front of the crackling wood burner. Every care has been taken to ensure a stay here is comfortable and appealing, from the fluffy white robes left out to the underfloor heating that’ll warm cold toes after long Cumbrian hikes.
This stone cottage benefits from plenty of original character paired with contemporary elements including the suspended wood burner and the bespoke kitchen with a high-tech Hot Tap. The lounge/kitchen/diner is the place for uninterrupted relaxation and romance, complete with soft seating, a Smart TV and a one-of-a-kind sycamore dining table to host a celebratory dinner for two. Moving upstairs, find an exceptional king-size bedroom on the mezzanine floor, accompanied by a marble wet room with an elegant waterfall shower. Outside, soak up the Cumbrian sun from the lawned garden, enjoy al fresco morning coffees and evening meals at the patio’s outdoor seating, and gaze up at the stars from the private hot tub.
Benefiting from an excellent position for all kinds of pastimes, the property is just 4 miles from the eclectic town of Keswick. Enjoy a gentle stroll into town via the old Keswick to Thelkeld Railway path (less than 1 mile). Once in town, a range of appeals including activities on Derwentwater (5 miles) and guided pathways up Skiddaw (9 miles) are on offer, along with a range of quality shops, pubs and restaurants that add to the town’s allure. Plan an evening out at the Theatre By The Lake, experiencing local performances or drinking by the water.
