About this property
Positioned just a stone's throw north of the centre of Keswick is Skiddaw 10, a stylish and modern lodge lying amidst a beautiful collection of Scandinavian style dwellings. Enjoying scenic surroundings and within easy walking distance of all the amenities you could want, Skiddaw 10 is ideal for a small family or group seeking a relaxing break to the Lakes. Awaiting your return after each day of adventure is the bright and airy open-plan living space on the first floor, with a beautiful balcony taking advantage of the charming treetop views where you can sit out at the patio furniture for evening drinks at the end of the day.
Come together on the sofas for a film night or gather at the dining table for a board game brought from home. Mealtimes can be enjoyed here too, with an excellent kitchen to rustle up delicious home-cooked favourites. Drift away to sleep in one of the two ground-floor bedrooms, each furnished beautifully, choosing from the king-size master bedroom with its en-suite shower room and TV, and a twin room served by the family bathroom. Enjoy heading out on walking adventures right from your doorstep up peaks like Skiddaw, England's sixth highest mountain, or Blencathra, one of the most northerly hills with six separate fell tops, both affording outstanding views of the beloved national park.
For a calmer jaunt, drive up to Bassenthwaite Lake to delight in a low-level walk with stunning views, or traverse the flat and easy paths around Derwentwater, 'Queen of the Lakes' spanning ten miles, soaking up the waterside scenery as you go. A relaxing boat trip along Derwentwater is the perfect afternoon outing, with a stop off at Derwent Island House by the National Trust, and spotting all the pretty bays and islands. Take part in thrilling activities on the water like paddle-boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and raft-building, or try exciting adventures on dry land too like indoor and outdoor rock-climbing, abseiling and many more, easily booked through local organisers.
Browse the great selection of shops and supermarkets in Keswick for all your essentials, whilst plenty of pubs and restaurants can be found too when you're seeking the local cuisine or want to relax with a drink. Discover the beauty of the Lake District from the comfort of Skiddaw 10.
