Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the Northern Lakes. Walking distance to the local pub (just a short bit on the slightly busy B road) and easy to get into Keswick and Cockermouth.

A very nice , clean and comfortable cottage. The views from the courtyard across the fields to Skiddaw were lovely. Not the easiest to locate even though it was above and backed onto the A591. Near to a bus stop ( 400m ) if you wanted to go into Keswick or Cockermouth without the car.

The cottage is situated in a beautiful setting, close to 2 public houses albeit the closest one closed for Christmas. It has beautiful views and many walks close by including Catbells which is ideal for all the family only a few minutes drive away.
