Threlkeld is a small village just off the A66, which is the main route between Penrith and Keswick. Almost directly opposite is Keswick Golf Club, so if you fancy a round while you’re away, you could not be much closer. The quaint village of Scales, along with a couple of local pubs offering great food and local cask ales, is just a mile away. The lodge is just 5 miles from the vibrant Lake District town of Keswick, which is brimming with great restaurants, pubs serving local craft ales, an excellent range of shopping experiences and some memorable tourist attractions. If you fancy something a bit different, then why not visit The Derwent Pencil Museum, home to the world’s largest pencil. Also within easy reach is Puzzling Place, which is full of mind-boggling optical illusions. If you like culture, you could try the Theatre by the Lake, with its enviable position on the shores of Derwentwater, which offers award-winning performances in drama and arts.
If you like walking or cycling, you are surrounded by some of the most challenging fells in the area, as well as a number of less challenging walking routes suitable for people who like sightseeing without the strain. Keswick is at the northern end of Derwentwater, one of the area’s iconic lakes, and offers a great base and starting point for many an adventure. You can tick off a few of Wainwright’s 214 Lakeland Fells, including Skiddaw, Blencathra and Helvellyn within a few miles’ radius. Whatever the reason for your visit, Harrison’s Lodge offers a great base, inspiring surroundings and a touch of quirkiness to make your next Lake District getaway one to remember.

LovelyAlpine style chalet with Mountain View and a 5 minute walk to get onto the mountain side footpath with a choice of fell walks or Threkheld village and Keswick. You can cycle all the way to Keswick avoiding the main A road. Warm, clean and comfortable with all the necesary practicalities.

No hot water for 2 evenings and 2 mornings. Stains on bed sheets. Kitchen equipment was dirty. Could not contact the owner neither could cottages.com. Neighbours were very noisy in hot tub until 2am on Friday and Saturday night.

the cottage was a nice place to stay for a few days. overall the experience was good however we had a small isue with not getting consistent hot water. we had to take about 5 minute showers before the water got cold and had to wait half an hour to a hour between showers to let the water warm up. nice area about 20mins from penrith and keswick. nice hikes. something to note shower is slightly claustrophobic. no cell reception in the area and the stairs are steep.
