Keswick 3 miles.
Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! 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, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Trotters Farm, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.

Previous visitors' comments about The Byre:
Have stayed in many cottages but this surpassed them all. Everything from furnishings to equipment was 1st class. Could not find fault with anything. We wanted peace and quiet and found it. A wonderful place to recharge our batteries. We shall certainly return.
Mr & Mrs Higgs, Milton Keynes, November 2009
Can`t express our amazement. Accommodation was over and way above our expectations. Everything you could possibly need was taken into account. The kitchen was amazing and we just spent our evenings in front of the fabulous wood burner. Fab views, fab wildlife right outside on the patio. Beautiful garden. Outstanding!!!
