Immerse yourselves in the glorious scenery of the Lake District when you stay at this inviting cottage at Bassenthwaite, 7 miles from Keswick. Sleeping five guests and two dogs, this gorgeous, three-bedroom retreat looks out over the village green and also has views of Skiddaw. Venture out into your beautiful surroundings, spend time at Bassenthwaite Lake, then return to your inviting abode to bask by a roaring wood burner or relax out in the charming cottage garden, depending on the season. Open the front door, leave your outerwear in the lobby area and head into the characterful lounge, with its exposed timbers. Light the wood burner on chilly days, switch on the Smart TV and discuss your adventures for the following day. Take turns preparing home-cooked meals in the cleverly designed kitchen; there is also a utility room with a useful washing machine and a an additional fridge. You’ll also find a family shower room at this level. Make your way up to the floor above to discover the family bathroom, two king size bedrooms and a single room – just watch out for low ceilings, due to the age of the cottage. Take your morning coffee out into the sunny garden and enjoy the fresh air; dine out here on occasion too. Parking is on the road, on a first-come, first-served basis. Keen hikers might like to climb up to the 930-metre summit of Skiddaw, approximately 3.5 miles from the cottage, or enjoy a gentler walk at leafy Whinlatter Forest Park, about 10 miles away. Plan a trip or two to Keswick to browse in its shops and dine out in its eateries. Members of your party might also like to take a launch out on Derwentwater to soak up the splendid scenery from the lake.
