The cosy and welcoming sitting room invites you to relax, with a gas fire and TV for spending down time in the evening.
Head out the back door to access the enclosed paved courtyard, with mature shrubs and dining set for when you fancy breakfast outside.
Head upstairs and discover the bedrooms, both with King Sized Beds and both neutrally presented with rustic features.
There is also a convenient cloakroom with WC and basin
Keswick's superb amenities are just a short walk away, including a range of excellent restaurants, charming tea rooms, quirky bars and independent and antique shops.

The town offers a wide variety of stores and eateries to suit every taste, as well as miniature golf, wonderful parks, the renowned Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing, and fantastic mountain biking opportunities. Derwentwater, a beautiful lake at the head of the breathtaking Borrowdale Valley, is only a short stroll from the town centre. The stunning Newlands Valley is nearby, situated between Braithwaite and Buttermere, and the charming Bassenthwaite Lake is definitely worth a visit. Everything from a leisurely stroll through the countryside to a strenuous walk up Skiddaw or the renowned Catbells is available.

Primrose Cottage is a very warm and comfortable base, every facility is top notch and practical. When the dog returns from a walk the slate tiled kitchen is a low risk environment before bath time!

The stairs really need a complete, top to bottom, handrail, for safe use, as the existing one stops short of the top, again presenting a hazard.
