The double doors open up into the dining area with standard seating for 6 people, though this can be extended if you are a group of 7. Off the dining room is the conservatory, with a selection of games and books for guests to enjoy, while overlooking the beautiful private garden. It is the perfect place to spend a peaceful afternoon with a good book. The kitchen with breakfast bar is to the back of the house. The room is well equipped with fridge-freezer, microwave, oven, electric hob and a handy washing machine. There is a dishwasher, however you may find yourself volunteering to do the washing up just to admire the views! For visitors seeking accommodation on one-level, there is a stylish ground floor bedroom with a double bed, built in storage and vanity table. Across the hallway from the bedroom is the modern shower room. Moving upstairs, you will find the bright and spacious king bedroom with panelled feature wall. The room immediately feels comfortable and relaxing, yet practical with plenty of hanging and drawer space. Here you can enjoy views over the garden and fells beyond. The middle bedroom, with bunk beds, is one for our younger visitors. Each bedroom has quality mattresses, luxury bed linen and some towels. If you're a group of 7, or just want some extra room, there is an optional fourth bedroom upstairs with a single bed. This room is offered at £50 for a short break and £75 for a full week (please add from the booking extras page) There is also a useful WC with heated towel rail upstairs. Guests at Fern Cottage can also enjoy complimentary WiFi, private parking on the driveway, and storage in the garage for any equipment, bikes, paddleboards, kayaks etc. Portinscale is the perfect destination for those who want easy access to everything Keswick has to offer but prefers a quieter location. Keswick is a short walk away via the suspension bridge over the River Greta and a stroll down the Howrah's footpath, where there is an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants. If you'd prefer to stay local, Portinscale has its own selection of lovely places to eat including the Farmer's Arms Pub, The Chalet Tearooms and Restaurant and Lingholm Kitchen and Walled Garden. Those looking for an adventure packed holiday are spoilt for choice with Derwent Marina offering an array of water sports including kayaking and canoes. For the walkers there is popular walks such as Catbells, Causey Pike and the Coledale horseshoe on your doorstep. Please note that Fern Cottage is situated in a residential area so is not suitable for stag or hen parties.

There was plenty of room in the house and garden. It is in a nice, quiet neighbourhood, just a mile or so walk into Keswick. Hoping to come back to Fern Cottage one day! ##### Hilary P.

Fittings and decoration to a high standard with great facilities. Not the cheapest but a high standard. Recommended. ##### simon b. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay C. 8 Jul 2025 #### Comfortable stay All good … would re-book if we are in the area. However, if I was being picky … I would suggest an upgrade to a smart tv in the lounge. Guests could then access IPlayer etc. More hooks for coats / towels. Drive quite steep - dip at top may be an issue for low wheelbase cars. ##### Kay C.
