Set in a peaceful location just a 0.5-mile stroll through Fitz Park to the bustling centre of Keswick, this stylish cottage sleeps four people over two bedrooms and welcomes one canine companion. It’s the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who want to enjoy all the pleasures of a secluded location, yet have all the amenities of Keswick just a short stroll away. Spend your days wild swimming at Grasmere or hiking at Skiddaw, and your evenings relaxing with your loved ones over an al fresco dinner in the cottage’s lovely garden.
Step inside and you’ll find a hallway with storage space for all your outdoor gear. Head through to the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room and take a moment to make yourself at home by the wood burner-effect electric fire. Head to the kitchen area and get busy rustling up some dinner, and then get everyone together at the dining table to eat. Alternatively, head outside to the patio to dine alfresco. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the stars come out, or head back into the lounge to catch up with your favourite TV shows. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms with views over the garden and river upstairs.
Take a lovely riverside stroll to the heart of Keswick through Fitz Park. Challenge your loved ones to a game of bowls or tennis, or pack up a picnic and take the opportunity to soak up the views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Alternatively, head to Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) to hire a bike and hit the trails. Or head to The Spirit of Keswick Distillery (0.5 miles) to sample the small-batch gins and whiskies on offer.
