In the heart of Keswick, this property offers an instant home from home in this much-loved national park. Enjoy close proximity to fells and lakes, along with independent shops and tourist attractions.
Overlooking Fitz Park and the River Greta, this property is a wonderful three-storey cottage for up to six people. Stylishly decorated and expertly combining contemporary comforts with a cosy traditional feel, you couldn't want for much more in this luxurious cottage.
Located a couple of minutes' walk from the centre of Keswick, this cottage is perfectly positioned to make the most of everything this bustling market town has to offer. For those who like a spot of retail therapy, a mooch around the many independent and outdoor shops is a must - be sure to make a pitstop for coffee and cake at one of the town's quirky cafes. If culture is more your thing, head to Keswick Museum and Art Gallery, a short walk from the cottage, to learn all about the local history of the area. Families will love the indoor climbing wall at King Kong, or why not get your adrenaline pumping and sign up for ghyll scrambling or canyoning with one of the local adventure companies?
Fell walkers will love the great choice of walks on offer straight from the front door. A walk up Latrigg via Spooney Green is a must for anyone staying in Keswick - take a break at the famous bench near the top to admire the panoramic view of the town. Conquer Skiddaw, England's fourth highest mountain, scramble up Catbells or venture up Walla Crag for stunning views of Derwentwater. If being closer to the water is more your thing, pack a picnic and enjoy the 10-mile circular walk around the lake - you can always hitch a ride on the launch to give tired muscles a break and enjoy the water from a different perspective.
