Discover Keswick from the vantage point of this cosy apartment and find out why this charming destination is known for being the adventure capital of the Lakes. Close to the shores of Derwentwater, your property sleeps three and is well-suited to those who can’t resist the thrill of water sports such as kayaking, canoeing and sailing. There are also endless opportunities for walking in the surrounding countryside thanks to the mountain ranges and sweeping fells, and once you grow weary, you’ll never be far away from a hearty pub lunch.
Return with your spoils from an afternoon exploring Keswick and prepare something delicious in the handy kitchen. When dinner is ready, the serving hatch makes it easy to hand over the plates! Dine around the table and chat about your day, moving through to the lounge for pudding in front of the TV. There are two bedrooms – one double and one single, plus you’ll be able to fold down the sofa bed in the lounge if you have an additional guest. Completing the property is a bathroom for a spot of pampering. Outside, there is a small paved area with a bench for people-watching, and parking is available for one car.
The streets of Keswick are picturesque and friendly, welcoming guests with an array of independent shops, tea rooms and cafes. The pencil museum is worth a visit, plus you can soak up some local culture at the popular Theatre By the Lake. Skiddaw (5 miles away) looms in the distance for bracing hikes and mountain-top views, but there’s also Blencathra (6.5 miles) if one mountain isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite for adventure. You can also adopt a quieter pace and enjoy jaunts to National Trust properties and leisure cruises, so there is something for everyone here.
