Open plan kitchen/living/dining room with well-equipped, fitted kitchen with bar stools at the counter. Underfloor heating, wood-burning stove, TV, DVD player and Bluetooth speaker. Three upstairs bedrooms (King with ensuite shower room, Bunk and flexible Twin/SuperKing room, shared bathroom). Patio with table and chairs, BBQ in summer months. Pet free. Four eco-friendly self-catering cottages, beautifully converted from stone barns, sit alongside the traditional Grade II listed farmhouse in a peaceful valley surrounded by dramatic Lakeland scenery. The cottages are set back from the road with direct access to the fells of the Helvellyn range. The fields surrounding the holiday cottages are home to livestock; mainly sheep and free range laying hens. We also keep ducks and geese, whose antics keep everybody amused. We raise Oxford Sandy and Black pigs (in the Spring and Summer) and tend bees, who give us the most scrumptious honey. Peacefully located yet within easy reach of Keswick, Grasmere, Ambleside and all the other attractions of the English Lake District National Park. Fornside Farm is idyllic; a welcome place to relax and recharge, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Geothermal energy - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Unit size: 861 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117980000/117976600/117976555/818e68f9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful eco-self-catering farm cottage in a peaceful valley surrounded by dramatic Lakeland scener near Keswick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi £528 includes taxes & fees 19 Nov - 20 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=117976555&PinnedHotelID=117976555&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117980000/117976600/117976550/39f39a45.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful, eco friendly cottage in a stunning rural valley - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Keswick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review £429 includes taxes & fees 25 Nov - 26 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-25&endDate=2025-11-26&selected=117976550&PinnedHotelID=117976550&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80930000/80929500/80929403/ed025eb8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coleridge Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms Central Keswick - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 30 reviews £401 includes taxes & fees 24 Nov - 25 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=80929403&PinnedHotelID=80929403&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117980000/117976600/117976545/b44831be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful eco-self-catering farm cottage in a peaceful valley surrounded by dramatic Lakeland scener near Keswick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £429 includes taxes & fees 19 Nov - 20 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=117976545&PinnedHotelID=117976545&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36350000/36349100/36349083/58841582.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury lodge, Bassenthwaite,Nr Keswick, at the foot of Skiddaw.
