Wake up to the sight of rolling hills and the majestic Skiddaw mountain in the distance. The village is surrounded by a patchwork of fields, woodlands, and, of course, the serene Bassenthwaite Lake, which is just a short drive away. Braithwaite is a gateway to a plethora of outdoor activities. Whether you're an avid hiker or a leisurely stroller, the area boasts a range of trails suitable for all levels of fitness. Don't miss the opportunity to conquer Skiddaw, one of England's highest peaks, or explore the enchanting Whinlatter Forest Park, home to various cycling trails and a Go Ape adventure course. The market town of Keswick is a 5minute drive or a scenic walk away with shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, parks with tennis and crazy golf, attractions, cinema and the Theatre by the Lake. Leisurely cruises can be enjoyed on Derwentwater or hire a rowing boat and explore on your own. Hill Cottage nestles on the edge of the village, yet within 100 yards of the village shop, and benefits from its own enclosed garden with views to the fells. Relax on an evening with a glass of wine, whilst watching the sun set over the fells and watch the local wildlife and birds that can regularly be seen visiting the garden.

You can walk from the house to great pubs, the local shop and many scenic walk nearby. The house is well equipped with a modern bathroom and kitchen. It is useful having the garage for bike storage. ##### J M.

It feels like home from home, really well kitted out with everything you could want. The quality of the cookware was really good, the speck of the oven/microwave etc was top notch. And the shower was fabulous. So a hot day climbing mountains gets washed off with ease and comfort. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting the Lakes. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 16 Jun 2024 #### Lovely cottage! Hill Cottage is a great place to stay for a week. There is a big kitchen, a cosy living room and there are beautiful views from the house. The garden was lovely. You can go on walks straight from the front door or walk to a busstop less than 5 minutes away. The Village Shop is a few minutes away by foot and has fresh bread, delicious cakes and more. We love to come back sometime! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine E. 2 Jul 2024 #### Lovely stay once again at Hill Cottage Lovely stay once again at Hill cottage and so lucky with the weather. Lovely garden and location although a mirror to see what is coming around the corner when driving in and out of the property would be useful as some cyclists and drivers come down that road so fast! Very well equipped, spacious and clean but some milk in the fridge and a couple of teabags would have been welcome on arrival. On previous stays there was always a welcome pack. Wine or biscuits are nice but a cup of tea is essential! We have stayed a few times now and look forward to coming again. The cottage has everything you could want. ##### Catherine E. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Luxury lodge, Bassenthwaite,Nr Keswick, at the foot of Skiddaw.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Luxury-Lodge.h36349083.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Armathwaite Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Armathwaite-Hall-Hotel.h1381738.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h57788444.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h455422.Hotel-Information) > > [Ravenstone Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Ravenstone-Manor.h2802809.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Horse & Farrier Inn and The Salutation Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Horse-Farrier-Inn-And-The-Salutation-Inn.h34921966.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Lake-View.h5366622.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge In The Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Lodge-In-The-Vale.h11899654.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake District Castle Inn ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Lake-District-Castle-Inn.h527764.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Littletown Farm Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Littletown-Farm-Guesthouse.h24453515.Hotel-Information)
