At the top of the hill on the outskirts of town, those with a love of the great outdoors will be in their element at this charming Lakeland cottage, with enough walking trails from the front door that you could try a different route each day of your holiday without ever needing to move the car! Don your hiking boots and walk less than a mile to the mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circle which dates back to around 3,000BC, climb the local fell of Latrigg (3 miles) for breathtaking views over Keswick, or tackle the mighty Blencathra (5.5 miles) if you re up for a real challenge. Just 3 miles away is the quaint village of Threlkeld which you can reach via a lovely stroll along the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail, and Derwentwater is 3.5 miles away and boasts a 10 mile circular walking route around the lake, as well as a range of water sports. Step inside this semi detached cottage into the hallway and discard your coats and boots. To the right is a cosy lounge, with a sofa and armchairs arranged around an electric fire a great spot to put your feet up and unwind after an invigorating day on the fells. There s a TV for entertainment, or if you fancy a bit of peace and quiet, slip into the seat of the bay window with a paperback for a while. A sliding door leads from here into the dining room where you can gather for homecooked meals or spread out your maps and guidebooks and plan your next adventures. French doors lead from the dining room to the rear garden. To the rear of the cottage is a well equipped kitchen with lovely views of the garden and fells beyond, featuring an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, as well as a handy washing machine and tumble dryer.
