The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and great fishing opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Cat Bells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around the lake. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks, the Theatre by the Lake, and the nearby Trotters' World of Animals this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

Previous visitors' comments about High Doat:
Great location, loads of room, modern kitchen, great view from the living room and garden. Very clean and tidy. This is honestly a home from home just 10 minutes to the town centre or lake. Great walking from the door. Great central location for Skiddaw, Honister Pass etc. Brilliant.
Mr Rushforth, Manchester, April 2012
We always like our trip to Keswick once a year. The excellence of the property made it even more special.
Mr Snelling, Peacehaven, April 2012
Spacious, comfortable, very well-equipped bungalow. Spotlessly clean. Ideal location for road and footpath access, and for the town centre and lake. Delightful welcome pack of cake, tea and coffee.
Mr Chegwidden, Sheerness, March 2012
The property was very warm, comfortable and well equipped. Within walking distance of Keswick so no need to get into the car all the time. We would recommend High Doat for a stay at any time of the year.
