The local pub is ¾ mile away, while the village of Threlkeld, with two excellent restaurants, is just 1¼ miles. Keswick Golf Course is less than a mile away if you fancy a round surrounded by stunning Lakeland scenery. Why not jump in the car and drive 5 miles to reach Keswick? This very popular town has something for everyone including fantastic pubs, restaurants, bars and great shopping options including a local market. From here you can hire a boat and sail or row around Derwentwater surrounded by amazing scenery. If you like walking you can access excellent routes up Latrigg and Catbells. Keswick is also home to some popular tourist attractions including the Theatre by The Lake which provides award-winning arts and drama. For a fun-filled family day out try the Derwent Pencil Museum, an interactive family experience, or Puzzling Place, a hands on attraction with mind-boggling optical illusions.

Lovely cottage in a picturesque area. Clean and roomy. Did not have hot water. Radiant heaters were not operating. No napkins or paper towels. No detergent for dishwasher. We were uncomfortable without hot water and heating. Unable to communicate readily with owner or property manager.
