About this property
Situated in Portinscale, this spacious three-bedroom property is a homely retreat with a pretty enclosed garden, views towards Skiddaw, and a footpath into Keswick. Perfectly placed for exploring the lake and mountains, it’s an ideal holiday retreat for a family plus two waggy-tailed pals.
Cheerful tones and homely comforts sweep through this light and spacious property. After a day of outdoor activity, leave boots in the hallway and step through to the open-plan living area. In the lounge, plump sofas invite you to sit and chat about your day, or simply relax with a drink and enjoy the views towards Skiddaw. A sociable dining table overlooks the lounge and boasts pretty garden views while off from the living area is a large, light-drenched kitchen and sunroom. While the chef in the family cooks up a delicious meal you can sit in the sunroom and plan the next day’s activities. As the day draws to an end, head upstairs to the first floor where you’ll find three lovely bedrooms featuring a king-size, a single, and twin beds. All the bedrooms are well furnished and adorned with bedside tables, lamp lighting, and artwork on the walls. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor. Outside, the hedged garden is a tranquil spot. While the children play on the lawn, you can sit and soak up the views of the mountains.
Head to Derwent Water Marina (320 metres) and enjoy a walk around the lake or jump on a boat and explore the landscape from the water. Alternatively, take the footpath into Keswick (2 miles) and discover castle ruins, cobbled streets, and plenty of excellent eateries. Cycling enthusiasts can also find excellent trails at Whinlatter Forest (3.5 miles) while the more adventurous can scale the heights of Skiddaw.
