About this property

Resting just a stone’s throw away from the bustling centre of Keswick is this Scandinavian-style lodge, Blencathra 14, perfectly positioned for enjoying this part of the Lake District and beyond. Built from Lakeland Slate and Swedish timber, this is an exceptional holiday accommodation for couples to call home as they explore the surrounding, majestic landscapes. The property benefits from a reverse-level layout, showcasing an elevated open-plan living room with captivating treetop views from the large picture window, which allows natural light to flood into the space and for the views to be enjoyed from each corner of the room. After a day of exploring, curl up on the plush sofa and tune into the TV before making your way to the kitchen area to prepare a home-cooked dish, featuring all the essentials including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Afterwards, open up the patio doors to reveal a spacious balcony area, complete with patio furniture, making a great spot for enjoying a glass of wine, whilst admiring your picturesque surroundings. Once the sun has set, retreat downstairs to catch your rest underneath the plush white sheets of the king-size bed, boasting a TV for those lazy Sunday mornings and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over bath. Explore your surroundings further as you take a leisurely stroll into the town centre, where you will find a plethora of local shops and supermarkets for picking up essentials, in addition to a cluster of fine-dining restaurants, cosy cafés and charming pubs for sampling great local cuisine. Make some time to visit the twice weekly award-winning market, which features a vibrant atmosphere and a great opportunity to sample local delicacies and pick up fresh ingredients to take back to your lodge to rustle up something tasty. Evening entertainment can be found at the wonderful 100-year-old Alhambra, an old-school, first-class cinema in traditional surroundings or at the 400 seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater. Those feeling active will be spoilt for choice by the myriad of outdoor adventures on offer here, including cruises on the waters of Derwentwater or don your walking shoes and hike the fells of Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra, all situated nearby. Alternatively, head underground and explore the Honister Slate Mines or bring along your two-wheels for an adventure in the Whinlatter Forest, there is something for all to enjoy here.
