. Mount Pleasant is the pièce de résistance of our larger properties in the Northern Lakes. It’s got it all, location, views, south facing, the finest quality, space, garden and pub nearby. Renovated and luxuriously refurbished, including sumptuous carpets, bespoke hand-built kitchen and stunning Victorian style family bathrooms, and situated in the village of Threlkeld with views in every direction, from St John’s in the Vale and Clough Head to the front and the mighty Blencathra towering behind. Built from slate with a brown hue, mined locally and unique to Threlkeld, this impressive detached house enjoys the sun all day long and has phenomenal views from every room. There are two cracking pubs in the village, one with a restaurant and one serving bar meals. Keswick is 3 miles and access to the M6 is only 15 minutes drive. For those travelling on public transport there are regular buses from Penrith train station which drop you right outside the property, and continue in to Keswick. The owner also has the following properties, Mary’s Cottage (111378), Marley’s Den (111286), Tommy’s Cottage (111367), Elmcot (112123), James’s Cottage (111398) and 22 Rose Terrace (111418)

Great location, stunning views from all aspects. Comfortably furnished and well equipped kitchen. Understandably it is difficult to keep a large property clean however the kitchen is in need of a very good deep clean, also there was only a few teaspoons and 4 normal glasses so a little attention to detail is needed. That said overall 4 stars and would definitely stay again.

We loved staying at Mount Pleasant. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Although a clothes dryer would complement the property. We would recommend this cottage and plan to return.

Although we had an excellent house in a beautiful location there was a couple of things that were missing that really made a difference to our stay after all we were in the lake district not having a tumble dryer in the property seemed very strange but overall this wouldn’t stop me from recommending the property
