Enjoy the serenity of your private gardens in the Lakes when you stay at this former lodge house in Keswick. Sleeping 10 guests, the six-bedroom, single-storey retreat makes a great option for larger parties, especially those including guests with reduced mobility. Situated within wider shared grounds of 6.5 acres, the cottage is just 0.5 miles from the centre of Keswick and only slightly further from the shores of Derwentwater.
Enter this delightful, stone cottage to find yourselves in a spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with pretty, leaded windows. Pause in the lounge area to unwind on the sumptuous, comfortable furniture to catch up with your nearest and dearest or to watch the Smart TV. Rustle up hearty feasts through in the fitted kitchen, with its plentiful cupboard and work surface space, then pull chairs up to the table to sit down to your holiday feasts together. As each day merges into night, wander through to the rear of the holiday home, where all the bedrooms are situated. These include three double bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms of which two have WCs. Guests sleeping in the twin bedroom and two singles share the family bathroom. Stroll around the magnificent grounds, taking in the view of Skiddaw as you go. Sit out in your private gardens with a cup of tea to watch the squirrels and birds in the trees. There is parking for six cars.
Book seats on a launch to take in the natural beauty of your surroundings from scenic Derwentwater. Hire canoes or kayaks from the marina in Portinscale, 2 miles away.
