Base yourself in the lake and mountainside town of Keswick for a romantic getaway surrounded by nature in this homely and bright cottage. Settle down in the cosy lounge and spend your evenings with a glass of wine in the ambient lighting of the wood burner-effect gas fire. Active couples can make the most of the craggy mountain peaks nearby, or for something less strenuous, you can explore the footpaths around Derwentwater Lake through ancient woodlands and fells.
Enter this traditional slate terrace cottage to find a cosy lounge where you can put your feet up and relax with a movie while the warming wood burner-effect gas fire flickers. This neutral-toned room boasts a large slate beam mantle above the fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating options. Enjoy a candlelit dinner at the chic dining table in the cream kitchen with an L-shaped fitted farmhouse-style unit and Welsh-inspired art. Climb the stairs to find a spacious king-size bedroom and a bathroom. The second floor boasts a snug with far-reaching views of the fells through the large picture window. Access the suntrap garden, which is shared with neighbouring properties, through the kitchen.
While staying in the lakeside town of Keswick, you’ll be within easy reach of all of the local delights – including two museums, a theatre, an e-bike hire shop and a handful of eateries and shops (all within 0.5 miles). Stroll around the banks of Derwentwater to Fawe Park (2 miles) and Brandlehow Park (3.5 miles). South of the river is a wooded valley with the powerful Lodore Falls (4 miles) and Surprise View (3.5 miles). If you’re feeling adventurous, hike the 2,470ft Dale Head, a mountain peak 10.5 miles away, or go for a wild swim in Black Moss Pot (7.5 miles).
