Create unforgettable memories at this Lake District escape – a charming two-storey cottage nestled in the chocolate-box village of Braithwaite. This home-from-home retreat is ideal for all kinds of families, comfortably accommodating four guests and one canine companion in cosy, welcoming surroundings. After a day filled with adventure – be it walking, hiking, cycling, or thrill-seeking activities like zip-lining and water sports – you’ll look forward to returning to this peaceful haven. The National Park’s adventure capital, Keswick, lies just 2.5 miles away, offering endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
Decorated in calming, cool tones with soft furnishings and thoughtful touches throughout, the cottage exudes a homely and inviting feel. Step inside and leave coats and boots by the door before settling into the heart of the home: the open-plan lounge/diner. A wood burner creates a warm and cosy atmosphere, perfect for cooler evenings. The dining area sits conveniently close to the kitchen, which offers direct access to the rear patio. Whether you choose to enjoy your morning coffee at the front of the house or out back, you’ll find a peaceful spot to start the day. Upstairs, two restful bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – await, along with a sleek, modern shower room. Street parking is available nearby.
Famed for its breathtaking lakes, this part of the Lake District invites exploration of nearby Bassenthwaite Lake (2.5 miles) and Derwentwater (2 miles). Enjoy scenic boat rides, water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, or stroll around the lakes’ edges and soak in the beauty. For a more challenging outing, hike up Grisedale Pike (2.5 miles), with a footpath conveniently close to the cottage. And don’t miss the magical Whinlatter Forest (2 miles), home to many waymarked walking trails and exciting outdoor activities.
