About this property
A wonderful home from home, this cottage sleeps five and is great for escaping to the Lake District with family and friends. There is handy lockable storage for bikes and boats should you be exploring on two wheels or taking to the water.
Wander down to the shore of Derwentwater and hop on a cruise or hire boats just 1.5 miles from home. If you fancy heading further afield, visit Ambleside (17.5 miles) to explore the largest natural lake in England: Windermere. Board a steamer and take in the glorious views before stopping off at Bowness (23 miles) for a bite to eat. Stay close to home and stroll up to Castlerigg Stone Circle (2 miles) for wonderful views or wander down to Lodore Falls (4 miles) and up to Surprise View. Reward the day s efforts with a delicious meal out at one of Keswick s many eateries before watching a show at Theatre by the Lake or heading to the local cinema. Head through the front door and into the hallway where you can leave boots and jackets after walks. Make your way into the open plan lounge/diner and settle on the sofas in front of the pebble effect gas fire. A Smart TV, stereo and selection of books and games promise to keep you entertained as you unwind in this welcoming room. In the corner sits the dining table, where you can gather and enjoy meals and raise a toast to time spent together.
