Enjoy a restorative break at this delightful cottage in Braithwaite, a scenic village surrounded by stunning fells and incredible views. Outdoor enthusiasts will love its proximity to Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake (each 2 miles), both wonderful for treks, swimming and water sports like rowing and paddleboarding. The striking black-and-white property has space for five guests over its three bedrooms, making it ideal for a family trip or holiday among nature-loving friends.
This two-storey detached property features a cosy lounge/dining on the ground floor, with dual-aspect windows, a TV, sofas and an electric wood burner to keep you all warm. A wooden table presents the perfect spot for leisurely meals. The light-filled kitchen features cream units and a second dining table where you can perch for breakfast and coffee. All of the three bedrooms – one double, one twin and one single – are on the first floor, all sharing a family bathroom. In good weather, dine al fresco in the private enclosed garden, a serene space with a picnic bench, shrubs and a paved patio.
You’ll have a pub and shop in the village (100 metres) and be 2 miles from the market town of Keswick, home to cafes, restaurants, a Pencil Museum, crazy golf, a climbing wall, a theatre and an art gallery. There’s so much to do nearby, whether you’re scaling the nearby fells of Barrow (1.5 miles) or Grisedale Pike (3 miles) or stepping back in time at the fascinating Castlerigg Stone Circle (5 miles). Whinlatter Forest (2 miles) offers mountain bike trails and a Go Ape high ropes course, for those who like adrenaline rushes.
