This is a truly tranquil location for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet is less than 4 miles from a great range of amenities and visitor attractions in Keswick, and 1½ miles from Braithwaite, which has a village shop, pubs and restaurants. A gallery and tea room can also be found 100 yards from the property. The Whinlatter Visitor Centre, in England’s only true mountain forest, is the hub for many activities, including the Whinlatter Wildplay trail designed for children, the longest mountain bike trail in England, forest walks and an osprey viewing point.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fairhome cottage. We loved the very peaceful location, the walks into the forest starting almost right from the front door, the beautiful countryside around and the convenience of Keswick nearby for any shopping. Even the design of the cottage added to the peace with the bedrooms not sharing a party wall with any of the other cottages in the terrace, all much appreciated. We will definitely come back.

We had a wonderful week at Fairholm, the cottage was clean, comfortable, light and had wonderful views. There is a lovely walk to a pub and wonderful walks behind the cottage.
