A spacious stone house in the heart of the Lake District with wonderful views, this is a splendid holiday base for families or friends. The traditional Lakeland property, sleeping eight, is in the pretty village of Rosthwaite, overlooking the Borrowdale Valley. The fells and wonderful walks are at your door and beautiful Derwentwater is less than 4 miles away.

Your entrance to this characterful house is through the pretty, country-style kitchen. Next door is the large lounge, with magnificent countryside and mountain views. This welcoming space has original ceiling beams, ample comfortable seating, and a wood burner where you can toast your toes on chilly nights. French doors lead to a dining annexe, where families or friends can enjoy a meal together against the scenic backdrop. A small room with table football and board games is ideal for nights in. Upstairs are four attractively furnished bedrooms, all looking out to the fells. Outside is a secluded patio, with the same glorious view. There is also a garden and lawn, shared with neighbouring holiday homes.

Rosthwaite boasts a restaurant and farm shop selling tasty Lakeland produce, along with a tearoom. The lovely market town of Keswick (6.5 miles), known as Queen of the Lakes, has a wealth of attractions, including Kong Adventure Centre, with indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. Hope Park has beautiful gardens, a cafe, and a games area where you can have fun with crazy golf and steering remote-controlled boats on a miniature Derwentwater. Explore the real thing on a 50-minute boat trip with a hop-on-and-off service at eight jetties around the lake. From Keswick, visit Castlerigg Stone Circle (1.5 miles), one of Britain’s most striking prehistoric monuments.

Perfect location for hiking w many trails nearby and spectacular scenery. Great cottage for cooking together and spending time in front of the fire. Covered outdoor area by door makes it easy to deal with muddy boots, wet gear and dog. It was disappointing however to find there aren't even basic kitchen provisions like salt and pepper, or any wood Read moreeven for first night. Also, 2 of the pubs mentioned on the website are closed Nov to Feb and the 3rd is not open to non-residents. Hide
