Enjoy the best of both worlds with this town centre dwelling in the heart of the rural and spectacular Lake District National Park.
If you're looking for a great cottage right in the heart of Keswick, then this property could be just the one for you. This is a delightful retreat for four people and one dog, right in the heart of Keswick. The cottage has a quirky layout with the twin room on the ground floor, along with the kitchen-diner. Upstairs on the first floor you'll find the master bedroom, bathroom and spacious living room. The cottage also benefits from a nearby parking space, a real bonus so close to the centre of town.
With Keswick right on your doorstep, there's plenty to see and do during your stay. Check out the independent and outdoor shops in the town centre, visit the famous Pencil Museum or enjoy a cruise round Derwentwater, just a 10 minute walk from the cottage, one of of the popular launches. Why not try something different and sign up for an activity with one of the local adventure companies? Have a go at paddleboarding, raft building or ghyll scrambling, or you can even tackle the Via Ferrata at nearby Honister Slate Mine - for the brave only!
From low level rambles to longer days out in the high fells, there's a wealth of walking opportunities on offer straight from the door. Head up local fell Latrigg, the bench near the summit is the perfect spot for mid walk flask of tea, or scramble up Catbells for stunning panoramic views over Derwentwater. Walk the 10 miles round the lake or explore the beautiful woodland trails at nearby Whinlatter Forest. Why not hire bikes and head out to explore on 2 wheels instead?
Head inside and you'll find a modern dining kitchen. With an electric oven and hob, fridge and handy microwave, it's well equipped with all the essentials for a self catering holiday. This cottage does have a slightly quirky layout and also on the ground floor is the cosy twin bedroom.
The master bedroom can be found on the first floor. This bedroom is spacious and has a double bed, perfect for indulging in a long lie in with your morning cuppa. Along the landing is the family bathroom with a WC, washbasin and bath with shower over. Whether you prefer a soak in the bath or a refreshing shower, all tastes are catered for here.
Also on the first floor is the living room. With views towards Fitz Park and the fells beyond, it's a lovely spot for relaxing and unwinding after a day out. There's a TV for entertainment too.
The cottage also has its own designated parking space in the car park behind the cottage, a real bonus for somewhere so close to the centre of Keswick.
