About this property
This lovely cottage is only 4 miles from Keswick and 1 mile from Keswick Golf Club, in the picturesque Threlkeld village. At the foot of Blencathra mountain, you’ll find amazing views to Helvellyn and beyond here.
This light and airy cottage, with lovely oak flooring, has folding doors at the front, and French doors on the side, to maximise the gorgeous view. With access to the garden from the lounge, front and rear patios, and a garden, this is a place for all the family to enjoy the countryside.
The lounge has comfortable seating and plenty of space for all the family to gather, and a wall mounted TV with Netflix if the weather’s bad. The diner/kitchen is beautifully done with a dining table and a breakfast bar. There’s also a utility room with space for your muddy boots and outdoor clothes, so you don’t have to walk through the house when you’ve just been hiking, and a superb downstairs shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs you’ll find a lovely master bedroom with a super king-sized bed, another king-sized room with dual aspect for stunning views, a single bedroom, and a pretty family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Outside through the French doors, you’ll find a patio with dining furniture and a lawned garden for your private use, all perfect for enjoying the amazing views.
Eribel Cottage is right at the foot of Blencathra for hiking right on your doorstep, and the village of Threlkeld is close by, with its mining history and pretty cottages. You’ll find home cooked food and local ales in the pubs, and fantastic walks to Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick Railway Path, and the Cumbrian Way. And if you’re a keen golfer, Keswick Golf Club is only one mile away.
Travel just four miles to the town of Keswick, with its shops and restaurants, the Pencil Museum, Mining Museum, crazy golf at Hope Park and a lot more to see and do. And Derwentwater isn’t far for sailing, water sports and more amazing walks.
Eribel Cottage is well-placed for a busy and fun family holiday with so much to enjoy and explore, and a luxury cottage to come home to at the end of the day.
Thelkeld is a village nestled at the foot of Blencathra 4 miles from Keswick the holiday centre of the Northern Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater.

The location is fantastic for walking. The property itself is lovely, spacious with everything you would need. The rooms are spacious and the views from the living room are amazing. If I had to suggest one thing, it would be for an electric car charger to be installed. I know alot of cottages are now having these installed so it may just be an idea for the owners to think about. I highly recommend this cottage and I am already looking at booking again later in the year.

Third time of visiting but this time the heating was very hit and miss! Would also have been better if we could have opened the downstairs shower room window.
