This beautiful first floor apartment at Swan House has spectacular views across the valley to the Skiddaw Fells. A former 17th century coaching inn, Swan House was converted in 2006 into exclusive apartments and cottages. Set in delightful grounds, close to Bassenthwaite Lake and the village of Thornthwaite, the apartment is tastefully furnished with a contemporary touch. The living area has superb views to the front as well as a small balcony to the side with fell views. There is a pond in the garden (young children will require supervision) which provides a natural habitat for newts and frogs, there is also an abundance of birdlife, deer and red squirrels. If you are lucky you may catch sight of the ospreys which nest within 500 yards of Swan House and regularly fly over the grounds.
Lords Seat and Whinlatter Forest rise up directly from Swan House, with a variety of walks and mountain biking possibilities.
Free WiFi
There is open water in the property grounds.

We reported a leek on bathroom sink to local Keswick office and they organised a plumber who came out the same day and repaired it. Great for buses to Keswick and Cockermouth, stops right outside the door. Good walking from this base. Comfortable, everything working.

Lovely apartment with great views. Could have done with some supplies though for the first night though - no washing up liquid, no soap, no wash cloth, no paper towels. Just one toilet roll

We had a lovely stay at Bishop View. The apartment has everything you need for your trip. The views were fantastic and it was so peaceful and quiet. Easy to get into Keswick or a short drive to Cockermouth. Walks out the door. Would definitely stay again!
