Explore the magnificent northern Lake District from this handsome period house, then return for a glass of wine on the veranda. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom retreat makes an excellent base for a group getaway or a celebration with family or friends. Situated on the fringes of Keswick, it is well-placed for Derwentwater, as well as trips to Ullswater, Windermere and Coniston Water. Lead your party inside the stone house via the characterful hall. Spread out into the lounge, where you can light the wood burner after bracing autumn and winter months or gaze out of the bay window on to the greenery during the summer. Kick back in front of your favourite boxset on the Smart TV or play a lively game together in here after dinner. Wander through to the airy kitchen/diner to prepare delicious meals for your group with the Lakeland produce you have sourced in Keswick. Take a few moments to yourself over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table before heading through to the dining room to set the long table up for the next meal. A utility room adjoins the kitchen and one of your bedrooms, a double, is also downstairs. Your remaining bedrooms, two more doubles, a king-size and a twin, with zip-and-link beds that can also be made up as a super-king, are all on the first floor. All the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and TVs. Enjoy the summer sunshine out in the front garden of the holiday home. Make the most of the covered veranda here too in all weathers. While away afternoons in Keswick, browsing in the shops, lingering over afternoon tea and booking tickets for shows at the Theatre by the Lake. Hire boats or take a lake cruise from the marina, 3 miles from your base.
