This is a cosy, well-maintained bungalow sleeping four people in a quiet residential part of Keswick. It is situated in a prime elevated position looking out over the pretty Lake District market town of Keswick with stunning views of Catbells, Grisedale Pike, Skiddaw and Causey Pike.

The property is in a superb location with many walks straight from the door. Walla Crag, Latrigg and Skiddaw are all easily accessed without needing a car to get there. Walks on Catbells and in Borrowdale are reached using the Keswick Launch, only a 20-minute walk from the cottage. The centre of town is a short walk away and is a bustling hub with a great selection of independent outdoor shops, cafes and pubs.

As well as hiking, climbing and water sports, for a more restful day you can potter around the shops or take a trip on the Keswick launch on Derwentwater. By night there is the cinema or the award-winning Theatre by the Lake with shows, concerts and plays all year round. Keswick offers a selection of vibrant bars and traditional pubs.

All accommodation is on one level. Steps with two hand rails lead down from the road level to the property.

The double bedroom has similar uninterrupted views to the kitchen although Cat Bells and High Spy can also be seen rising above Borrowdale. The twin bedroom at the front of the cottage overlooks a raised flower bed and a feature stone wall with rockery planting above.

In the bathroom there is a bath with a thermostatic mains shower over, wash basin, WC and bathroom cabinet.

Outside, a few steps down from the front door leads to the west-facing rear garden where there is a slate patio with garden furniture, from which you can enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding fells and wonderful sunsets.

A really lovely base to explore Keswick and the surrounding area. Very clean and the easy parking outside the property is a real perk in Keswick, especially when you have young children. The double bed was a bit squeaky but my 3 year old said his bed was comfy. We would definitely stay again.

Well-equipped cottage in a fantastic location. Views from the kitchen and main bedroom are wonderful. Sadly not warm enough for us to enjoy the garden. It would be wonderful in the summer months.

A very comfortable and well equipped holiday base in a quiet location with fantastic views, and easy access to the centre of town. Hassle free parking is a huge bonus in Keswick. We enjoyed relaxing in the lounge, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Excellent provision of maps and walking books, including a folder of walks from the door.
