Holiday Rental Description

Popular with outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers an abundance of footpaths and cycle trails just waiting to be discovered. At the end of the lane, step onto the fellside towards Walla Crag and on to the much photographed Ashness Bridge. Hop onto one of the Derwentwater Launches to view this spectacular scenery from the water, stopping off at the many attractions and viewpoints along the way. Discover local history at Castlerigg Stone Circle, just 1.5 miles north, or enjoy some family fun in Keswick only 1.5 miles away, when you visit the museums, the Puzzling Place or the climbing wall. Step into the property through a small porch that leads to the delightful lounge, from which a shuttered window provides stunning views of the lake and fells beyond.
