Property code: 86613

Perfect base for anyone who loves this region, with stunning views in both directions and an abundance of walks on your doorstep.

Nestled within the rolling green hills of the national park and surrounded by rural Cumbrian views is this charming countryside cottage. Located at the foot of the almighty Blencathra, groups of up to five people can spend their days navigating wild walking trails, dining out in idyllic local market towns or seeking adventure on one of the many mesmerising Lake District lakes.

At the heart of this characterful property is a cosy lounge, which boasts a wood burner. Turn on the TV and enjoy your favourite show while the chef of the group heads to the kitchen to prepare an evening feast. Equipped with a dining area, the kitchen has everything you need to create many delicious spreads during your stay. The dining table is also a lovely place to dig into your meals together and plan your next day’s activities. Outside you’ll find a wonderful shared garden where you can relax and sip a cup of coffee or a celebratory glass of fizz while admiring the stunning Lake District panoramas. When it’s time for bed, choose to rest your head in one of three bedrooms: one king-size, one double or a single.

Head outdoors for a day of water sports and wild swimming at Bassenthwaite Lake, 10 miles from the property’s doorstep. From canoeing to kayaking, paddleboarding to sailing, there’s an activity to suit everyone. Keen ramblers can even take a beautiful 10-mile walk along the shore. The picturesque market town of Keswick (4 miles) is a great place for a spot of shopping and a slap-up lunch in one of the homely pubs or independent restaurants.

Angela is a wonderful host. The cottage had everything we could have hoped for. We arrived on a cold spring evening and it was wonderful to come into the toasty, spotlessly clean cottage. It is located slightly above Threkeld which makes for incredible views from two of the three bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and we were grateful for freshRead more milk in the fridge and even biscuits as a treat! The local pub, the Horse and Farrier, is only 15 minutes on foot - we had a lovely meal there. Hide

We had a great Christmas break at Ravencragg. The cottage was clean, welcoming and very well equipped and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The scenery is stunning and we had some superb winter walks. The kitchen is a little small for 5 people but all in all we had a wonderful stay.
