A well-presented and contemporary first floor property set in the centre of Portinscale, with local amenities on your doorstep. A great retreat for couples or family looking to explore the Lakes.

For the ultimate countryside retreat with up to six friends or family members, look no further than this stylish and modern first-floor apartment in the quaint village of Portinscale. Dine out in one of the nearby pubs or make the short 2-mile journey to Keswick for a sumptuous bistro dinner. Groups looking to make the most of their time in the wild should lace up their boots and spend a morning hiking up Skiddaw, which is one of the top destinations for mountain walking in the Lake District.

At the heart of this delightful home is a sociable lounge space where you and your friends can spend quality time together. Pop open a bottle of celebratory fizz and sink into the comfy seating as you catch up and make adventurous holiday plans. Watch a funny film as the chef of your group rustles up some tasty nibbles in the well-equipped kitchen. Keep the cook company by sitting at the dining table in this room and dig into delicious meals here too. When bedtime calls, choose from one of three lovely bedrooms to spend the night: one king-size room, which is located just off the lounge or two double bedrooms, which can be found upstairs.

Outdoor enthusiasts can experience a bounty of adventure at Whinlatter Forest, which is only 4 miles from the doorstep. Discover breathtaking walking trails and unforgettable views of the mountains. Keen cyclists can explore up to three cycling trails and there’s even bike hire available in the park if you’ve forgotten to bring your wheels with you. If you’re keen to add some extra adventure to your visit, then in the summer you can take on the Go Ape Treetop Challenge.

What a truly beautiful house to stay and enjoy the lakes.

We loved staying in Farrier House it was the perfect location for our holiday. The property was well looked after, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. The village had a lovely cafe within walking distance that served lovely food. Keswick was the nearest town and it took us 5 minutes to get there.

This was our second visit to Farrier House. It is the best accommodation that we have stayed at. It is very clean. The kitchen is well equipt. The beds are comfortable and the flat is spacious and stylish. There is parking for one car behind the flat. There is a nice walk into Keswick on a path over the river and through a field.
