Cottage in Cumbria

Holiday Rental Description

Just a short walk from the centre of Keswick, explore this bustling town s array of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, visit the famous Pencil Museum or head for the King Kong Climbing Wall. Just 1 mile away lies the magnificent Derwentwater, around which a scenic 8 mile walk can be enjoyed. Or, for a more leisurely experience, hop on the Keswick Launch which stops at the seven landing stages around the lake, allowing you to visit the likes of Fawe Park, Derwent Island and Lodore Falls. With so much to see and do in the local area, visit the mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circle 2 miles above the town, head underground at Honister Slate Mine, 9 miles away, or don your hiking boots to take on nearby Skiddaw, just 5 miles away. Tastefully presented in soft tones with carefully chosen furniture and decorative artwork, this two bedroom property is a home from home for couples or families. Cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything you could need including an electric oven with a gas hob, fridge, washing machine and microwave, plus a good sized dining table. The lounge is an inviting space, with plump sofas, cosy cushions and a feature fireplace with a gas effect fire. After a long day on foot, while away the evenings in front of the Freeview TV. Afterwards, head up to the first floor where the double bedroom, single bedroom and bathroom with shower over the bath are located. Step outside through the back door to reach the shared rear garden. Accessed by stone steps, this is a wonderful suntrap in the evenings, perfect for an al fresco drink as the sun goes down (please note: there is a significant difference of level in the garden and young children should not be left unsupervised). There is private off road parking for one car to the rear of the cottage.
