Nestled in the tranquil Lakeland village of Portinscale at the northern tip of Lake Derwentwater, this traditional stone cottage offers a magical base for your Lake District stay. With flexible accommodation for four guests, generous living spaces and a pretty courtyard patio, this dog-friendly abode is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family break or a holiday with friends. With an abundance of walking routes and water activities on your doorstep, its location is a delight for those who love the great outdoors.

Light and airy with modern interiors, this two-storey cottage has been designed for guests’ comfort, offering a true home from home. Put your feet up after a day on the trails in the spacious lounge, toes toasty by the wood burner-effect electric fire on chilly days. Fuel before and after active days in the modern fitted kitchen, where you can wine, dine and chat around the dining table. Grab a moment of tranquillity with a morning cuppa or evening hot chocolate at the bistro table in the garden, and rest and recharge in the two spacious first-floor bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite bathroom and a twin zip-and-link which can be made up as a king-size on request, which has an en-suite shower room.

Filled with Lakeland charm, Portinscale is well set up for visitors, with plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants.

We've had a great stay, the cottage is a fantastic find and well worth its gold award. I loved it all and your cleaners deserve high praise. Too often cottages advertised as luxury lack that sparkle and attention to detail, not yours, you can be so proud.

A beautifully maintained and equipped cottage with the owners clearly having paid a lot of attention to detail. In perfect decorative order, the cottage is clean and bright and everything is well thought out and works as it should. Possibly the best holiday cottage we've ever rented, and I'm certain we will be back before long.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your lovely cottage. My husband has commented in your guest book and I echo the same, that all rentals should aspire to reach the quality and standards of Corner Cottage. The weather was also perfect.

Corner Cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I liked the local artwork. The cottage is in an ideal location with plenty of walks from the doorstep, a cafe over the road and marinas nearby where there is kayak, canoe and paddleboard hire. The Keswick shops are either a walk or a short drive away. We enjoyed sitting out on the paRead moretio and hope to return in the future. Hide

Fantastic cottage, a real home from home. Location was top notch and no issues what so ever, one of the best places we've stayed! Probably the best in The Lakes. Our dog loved the dog treats and all the great walks and paddles. The worst bit is going home!

Property was very clean and well furnished to a high standard. Location very good with Keswick only a gentle 15 minute walk away. Although unable to park our vehicle outside the property, this did not cause any real issues as alternative available a short distance away. This however may be a small problem in the height of the holiday season.

I phoned to ask if there was a hig chair and cot at the property and was told no. We had to take our own only to find out that there was both. This was annoying as with a young baby the car was full without these unnecessary extras. Also it proved quite difficult to book this property I had to make 3 phone calls to secure the booking.

It's wonderful, we couldn't ask for more. We are regular visitors in Keswick (usually a caravan), so are familiar with the area. Lovely walks and so nice to come back to this cosy cottage. Thank you for making this a special place, we will be back.

The only reason I marked down slightly was because bath plug didnt work ( seal missing ) and we had to buy one. Would have been a shame not to utilise the lovely bath after a day of walking. Also outside furniture rickety and really not comfy Im afraid. Other than that perfect cottage in perfect location.
