The Farmhouse

About this property

The Farmhouse is a delightful, character cottage dating back to 1656, set in the pretty, Cumbria village of Braithwaite. It retains much of its original, quirky features such as the slate floors, low ceiling beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace. You can bring your friends to share a memorable break in the Lake District, with extra sofa beds for flexible sleeping arrangements and two en-suite shower rooms for convenience. Feel welcomed into the kitchen with its fabulous AGA range cooker taking centre stage, ready to assist with the cooking of hearty breakfasts and tasty dinners. Get together around the large dining table in the living room and later cosy up on the sofas before the fire and catch up on some of your favourite TV programmes.

Upstairs are three well-appointed and spacious bedrooms to retire to, together with a large family bathroom, where you can soak in the clawfoot bathtub and relax your muscles after a walk on the fells. The Farmhouse a welcoming base for uncovering the beauty of Lake District National Park.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
