Cottage in Cumbria

About this property

Elegant retreat in a peaceful location, with fabulous walking opportunities from the doorstep and yet just 1 mile from the independent shops, cafes, and restaurants of the pretty town of Keswick.

This gorgeous cottage, within walking distance of Keswick s town centre, sleeps four guests. The property has a quiet setting and has some fabulous walks directly from its front door. Set out on foot to explore the wooded path that winds its way to the summit of Latrigg Fell, or if you really feel like challenging yourself, stride on further to discover the dizzy heights of Skiddaw. Alternatively, enjoy a gentle 1 mile stroll into Keswick, where you ll find a fantastic choice of eateries, plus a wonderful museum, art gallery and theatre. From Keswick, you can board one of the launches to glide across Derwentwater, where you can hop on and off for a picnic, waterfall walk or afternoon tea. The warm and inviting cottage features a spacious open plan lounge/diner, with beautiful exposed beams and a roaring wood burner. Enjoy cosy nights in together, watching TV or planning the next day s itinerary around the dining table. The modern kitchen has everything you need to prepare a tasty meal for your fellow guests, including an electric oven, separate induction hob, microwave, wine cooler, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
