About this property

Threlkeld 2.2 miles. Nestled in the quaint settlement of St. Johns-in-the-Vale, near Threlkeld in the magnificent Lake District National Park, rests this delightful, stone-built holiday home, Shundraw Cottage. Boasting off-road parking for two cars, well-presented interiors, and superb views of the Skiddaw and Helvellyn mountain ranges, this charming cottage is the perfect base for a family or group of six, and their well-behaved dog, who are seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape near The Lakes. Park up, unpack, and make yourself comfortable in your lovely new home-from-home. Get to work in the fully-equipped kitchen, where you'll find every appliance required to rustle up a tasty, home-cooked dinner. Savour your meals around the dining table, or even alfresco on the furnished patio when the sun is shining. In the evening, gather in the sitting area to enjoy a film on the Smart TV before you refresh with a shower or bath on your way to settling in for a night of well-earned rest in one of the three plush bedrooms. Wake up and gaze out upon your gorgeous mountainous surroundings before you head downstairs to make yourself a hot cup of coffee. When ready, step out and explore what your local surroundings have to offer. Make the short trip into Threlkeld, where there is a Post Office and fill up with a hearty pub lunch at the Horse & Farrier. You'll find a range of fun things to see and do in the nearby market town of Keswick, such as roaming the serene grounds of Hope Park, brushing up on local history at the Keswick Museum, or experiencing mind-bending exhibits at the Puzzling Place. A boat trip along the calm waters of Derwentwater is also a must during your stay, as is a hike up to the Lodore Falls and the Surprise View, which enjoys stunning, panoramic views of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. Enjoy all of this and much more during your stay at Shundraw Cottage.

The charming village of Threlkeld is just to the east of Keswick in the Northern Lakes. The steep sided Blencathra looms over Threlkeld village, a popular starting point for walking the mountain. Threlkeld's history reaches back more than 800 years; the Romans were here from the 3rd to the 8th century, followed later by the Norse. In the village the church dates back to 1578 and there are two pubs that first opened their doors in 1688.Though only a few miles outside Keswick, the village is tranquil and unspoilt with great views of Blencathra and the Helvellyn range.
