A bright apartment in a pretty Lakes village in the beautiful Borrowdale Valley surrounded by stunning scenery, this makes the perfect romantic base for exploring the area. Your furry friends are welcome too. The apartment is one of five in a large, detached house in the centre of Rosthwaite, perfectly placed to enjoy everything the Lake District is famous for: gorgeous lakes, amazing landscapes, and market towns.

There’s plenty of space for two in this comfortable first-floor flat with lots of light and bright welcoming interiors. It has a spacious open-plan living area with a Smart TV and electric fire for cosy nights in, and space to cook and enjoy a delicious romantic meal in the kitchen/dining area. The pretty double bedroom has its own wash basin and there’s also a bright and spacious family bathroom. At the front of the house is a big garden with seating and stunning country views for everyone to enjoy.

Head out on walks from the front door through the fells. Pick up the Cumbria Way in the village or join the Coast to Coast route from Rosthwaite to Patterdale, a challenging 15-mile walk with rich birdlife and incredible scenery. For something more relaxing, hire a rowing boat on one of the lakes or visit Black Moss Pot to go wild swimming, 1 mile away. If you want to leave your car at home, there’s a reliable bus service between Keswick and Seatoller that travels close to Derwentwater passing through Cat Bells. Keswick is on the edge of Derwentwater (6.5 miles away), a haven for outdoor adventurers, it also has lots of shops and places to eat out. Just 3 miles from the apartment is a spa with an outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam rooms, and a romantic champagne bar.

Our stay at Catbells Kiln How was thoroughly enjoyable. The apartment was clean, well equipped and with a handy parking space. We walked from there every day without needing to drive. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and is situated in a beautiful little village Rosthwaite. Have been there before and will definitely go again.

This apartment is lovely, in a beautiful setting with walks from the doorstep. It was comfortable and romantic, the bath is massive and much welcomed after a day on the fells .

This could not be better located for walking. We used car for shopping but only once to get to a walking route. Its peaceful. The Royal Oak is within eyesight. The apartment suited our needs fine. All i might add is somewhere to dry wet gear, however we only got drenched once. Would definitely return.
