About this property
Recently renovated to the highest standard, Crow Cottage is an exceptional property which offers spacious, elegant and luxurious holiday accommodation and is tucked away in a peaceful corner of Keswick, yet only a two-minute walk from the town centre.
Crow Cottage benefits from many of the original Victorian features and you will be able to relax in the elegant sitting room, socialise in the spacious Kitchen/dining room and retreat to one of the three welcoming and comfortable bedrooms, all with views to Skiddaw and Latrigg.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of 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. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.
