For the ultimate countryside retreat with up to six friends or family members, look no further than this stylish and modern first-floor apartment in the quaint village of Portinscale. Dine out in one of the nearby pubs or make the short 2-mile journey to Keswick for a sumptuous bistro dinner. Groups looking to make the most of their time in the wild should lace up their boots and spend a morning hiking up Skiddaw, which is one of the top destinations for mountain walking in the Lake District.

At the heart of this delightful home is a sociable lounge space where you and your friends can spend quality time together. Pop open a bottle of celebratory fizz and sink into the comfy seating as you catch up and make adventurous holiday plans. Watch a funny film as the chef of your group rustles up some tasty nibbles in the well-equipped kitchen. Keep the cook company by sitting at the dining table in this room and dig into delicious meals here too. When bedtime calls, choose from one of three lovely bedrooms to spend the night: one king-size room, which is located just off the lounge or two double bedrooms, which can be found upstairs.

Outdoor enthusiasts can experience a bounty of adventure at Whinlatter Forest, which is only 4 miles from the doorstep. Discover breathtaking walking trails and unforgettable views of the mountains. Keen cyclists can explore up to three cycling trails and there’s even bike hire available in the park if you’ve forgotten to bring your wheels with you. If you’re keen to add some extra adventure to your visit, then in the summer you can take on the Go Ape Treetop Challenge.

Overall, the house is lovely. The kitchen is well equipped. The downstairs bedroom is a good size, so is one of the upstairs bedroom. The second bedroom upstairs is smaller and has limited hanging storage, especially for trousers and dresses. Maybe net curtains in the windows facing the Hotel for privacy would be ideal. Parking is tight, especiallyRead more if you have a larger car. Location is great, as its only 20 minutes to walk into Keswick. Hide

What a truly beautiful house to stay and enjoy the lakes. Everything has been thought about from the placing of the mirrors and lighting, not to mention the very well equipped kitchen, which is very important to us as we have dairy and gluten intolerance and eat mostly at home.

Not cheap but beautiful made, with fresh ingredients and attention to detail, well worth a visit. Hide

We loved staying in Farrier House it was the perfect location for our holiday. The property was well looked after, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. The village had a lovely cafe within walking distance that served lovely food. Keswick was the nearest town and it took us 5 minutes to get there.

This was our second visit to Farrier House. It is the best accommodation that we have stayed at. It is very clean. The kitchen is well equipt. The beds are comfortable and the flat is spacious and stylish. There is parking for one car behind the flat. There is a nice walk into Keswick on a path over the river and through a field.

Fabulous cottage, spotlessly clean and tidy. Lots of thoughtful touches, and a brilliantly well equipped kitchen. Excellent location, right on Derwent Water and an easy walk into Keswick. Nothing to fault here, highly recommend!

Had a lovely week in July at Farrier House. The house was clean, comfortable and had stunning views over Derwent Water. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was a good supply of local guide books. Easy walk into Keswick which has all amenities and would recommend The Round for very tasty burgers. Can also walk to Lingholm Estate and Cat BelRead morels. Easy access by car to the surrounding areas and other lakes. Many thanks. Hide

A beautifully appointed property with luxury furnishings and everything you could need provided. It is in a great location, with views over Derwentwater from the front rooms. Keswick is just a short level walk away by footpath for shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

Top house and has everything you need in it - and has lots of great info in the cottage for stuff to do around the area. Good location - circa 15 mins walk to Keswick and also good for walking up Catbells if you so desire [ we did it in around 90 mins with two kids including the usual water / food breaks] Some people mention the parking space but iRead moret is fine - it's at an odd angle which gives the appearance that it is tricky but it's ok - same size as any normal one.
