A lovely, comfortable cottage which is well presented and equipped. Our host, Jenny, was easy to contact to discuss any queries and was very helpful in altering a sleeping arrangement for family members joining us in the week. Braithwaite is well situated for direct access to walks ranging from easy to strenuous, and Keswick is a short drive awayRead more. The Ivy House restaurant nearby is good - not cheap but provides excellent food and service. The pub next door is popular with walkers and serves a wide selection of ales and good 'pub grub'. Hide
