Escape to the tranquil village of Applethwaite for a Lakes experience like no other, treating your party of eight to exciting walks around stunning Bassenthwaite Lake and water-based adventures on Derwentwater. Cosy, homely and brimming with excellent features for socialising such as a large garden for al fresco dining and an open fire for snuggly evenings, your accommodation is ideal for reconnecting with your loved ones. Set out to explore from the comfort of your doorstep, basking in the views of mountains, hills and fells as you trek with your three canine companions. Keswick is also within easy reach 2 miles away for a healthy dose of retail therapy, a taste of the local arts scene and delicious home-grown fare. Inside is homely and comforting with bold splashes of colour and pleasing contemporary details. Prepare a grazing plate of tasty snacks and snuggle up in the lounge for a family film, lighting the fire for the ultimate treat. By day, the large windows have fabulous views of the surrounding countryside for your first coffee of the day. Mealtimes are a breeze thanks to the excellent kitchen facilities and the homely dining room, but if you slide open the doors you can venture outside for an al fresco meal with the mountains as your backdrop. Weary from your day, the four bedrooms offer a sanctuary for a restful night’s sleep on the first floor. There’s a bunk bedroom for the youngest guests to enjoy a sleepover. All four are served by a generous bathroom and a shower room, perfect for some well-deserved pampering. The private garden is another excellent spot to perch with a coffee and soak in the scenery.
