Description of the holiday cottage

There is one shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC, plus an additional cloakroom. Larger groups should check the bathroom layout before booking, as the property sleeps eight but has one main shower room.

There is an open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a woodburning stove, along with a separate dining room and a sitting room with gas fire. Practical features include WiFi, Smart TV, additional TV, range cooker with electric double oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, gas central heating, bed linen and towels.

Outside, Blencathra has a gravelled patio with furniture. Roadside parking is available, although guests should check the latest parking details before travelling, especially during busier Keswick periods or if arriving with more than one car.

Keswick has outdoor shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, the Theatre by the Lake, Derwentwater boat trips, Hope Park, the Puzzling Place, Keswick Museum and the Pencil Museum.

The cottage is also well placed for exploring the northern Lake District. Guests can visit Derwentwater, Catbells, Latrigg, Skiddaw, Blencathra, Castlerigg Stone Circle, Bassenthwaite Lake and Whinlatter Forest, giving plenty of options for walking, cycling, lake days, mountain views and family days out.

One well behaved dog is welcome and smoking is not permitted.
