With the back drop of Grange Crags and simply some of Lakeland’s finest surroundings, your time away spent at Field House Bothy will be very relaxing, if not inspiring. The owners freely admit to how lucky they are to live in an area such as Borrowdale. Field House Bothy is part of the once traditional farms that scattered the area. It is built with traditional local slate, but your stay here will be far from basic, with underfloor heating and double-glazing to keep you cosy.
The layout is open plan, with the focus on the views looking down the Borrowdale Valley towards Derwent Water and Cat Bells. With ease of access and wheelchair friendly, the front double doors both open for a wide entrance and once inside, the seating area enjoys warmth from the electric woodburner-effect fire, perfect for sitting and gazing out of the window at the view. A well-equipped kitchen has everything you need, but with five bars and restaurants within a mile of Field House Bothy, you may be easily tempted away. The sleeping area has an electric assisted double bed to alleviate the stress of getting in and out, a bed with a view and a good night’s sleep. Just off the bedroom is a walk in wet room with a power shower to refresh and revive.
There are plenty of accessible walks in and around Keswick. A level walk takes you through Hope Park on the edge of town and along the lake as far as the viewpoint at Friars Crag, whilst at Latrigg there is a small car park at Gale Road above Applethwaite with a Limited Mobility Path to the summit of Latrigg and the viewpoint over Keswick. Trampers are available at Whinlatter Forest from Lake District Mobility which you can hire for a minimal cost to enjoy an amazing 2½ miles of waymarked trails with spectacular views in the forest.
Accessible shops, attractions, outdoor activities and places to eat all display a disabled access logo. Shop 4 miles, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.
Field House Bothy (ref UK12571) can be booked together with Field House Lodge (ref UK10978) and Field House Cottage (ref UK12573) to accommodate up to 6 guests.

The Field House Bothy is compact but comfortable, with everything you need plus a very thoughtful welcome pack from the owners. Its best feature is its location, which is in a beautiful part of the Lake District with plenty of great walks directly from the door. The owners Hazel and Steve are very friendly, helpful and happy to share a bit of local knowledge. Overall I would thoroughly recommend the Bothy to anyone looking to holiday in the Lakes.

Wonderful spotlessly clean, comfortable, easy access home for a week with a beautiful view. Perfect for those with or without a disability and an added bonus was that there was an easy access hydrotherapy pool about half an hour’s drive away so we could both have a swim. Lovely helpful friendly hosts who made us so welcome. We will certainly return next year and thoroughly recommend it. We have a lovely welcome pack and also a bottle of wine for a birthday gift! Perfect!

An exceptional Bothy in a stunning location with very helpful and friendly hosts. As a solo traveller the Bothy was fab, the right size, even down to the lower hight kitchen; and I spent a very comfortable week there. Hazel and Steven provided a very generous welcome pack, tailored to my preferences. I have already booked to return next year for a longer stay, but this time in the larger house, to share the experience with family.There is lots to do locally, for the active and more sedentary, and this end of the Lakes is quieter for traffic but with some stunning and challenging drives.
