Little Chamonix - Keswick

Paddleboarding on Derwentwater (1 mile), climbing England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike (9 miles), sampling local gingerbread made with a 170-year-old recipe (12.5 miles) – it’s all possible with a stay at this inviting terraced property in Keswick. The bustling market town is filled with friendly shops, cafés and restaurants for you to discover (0.5 miles) plus local attractions including a Pencil Museum, theatre, crazy golf, climbing wall and art gallery (all within 1.5 miles).

This four-bedroom townhouse, made from gorgeous stone, is named after a notable rock-climbing route located at the southern end of Derwentwater. Inside, a welcoming and homely atmosphere awaits, with a charming decor that blends original features with modern fittings. The open-plan lounge features a bay window and treated wooden floorboards. After busy days out in the elements, sink into one of the sofas. The dining space is located through an archway and features a wood burner in a beautiful brick fireplace with an original wooden beam at the top. The adjacent galley kitchen, which has a handy breakfast bar, is perfect for whipping up meals, packing picnics and feeding the pets. Heading upstairs, on the mid-landing, there is the family bathroom and on the first floor, you’ll find a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a double bedroom. On the second floor are a twin and a bunk room. Blessed with good weather? Head out into the rear yard, accessible from the kitchen, for a morning coffee and to plan the day's adventures.

You’ll find plenty to do nearby, whether that’s embarking on pretty walks through the fells or discovering ancient sites like Castlerigg Stone Circle (1.5 miles). The Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) is known for its fantastic bike tracks and walking trails. For a more leisurely experience, jump on one of the open-top bus tours around the Lakes for a relaxing way to explore the region's natural beauty – you can hop on and off where you like. And for that sweet gingerbread? The village of Grasmere (12.5 miles) is where you’ll need to go.
