“We had a pleasant stay in this ...”

We had a pleasant stay in this quiet and peaceful location. The cottage was fine, if a little cold in the evenings at floor level on chilly days. After discovering the vast library of DVDs in the Games Room, we wished that had been made clearer on the literature.

All in all, this is a lovely house and provides a good base from which to explore the western lakes area.

“Brilliant cottage for families with ...”

Brilliant cottage for families with dogs and kids. My young Granddaughter loved the freedom of being able to play in the shared garden and playroom, location felt safe to allow her to do so. Location was great with lots to do in the immediate area.

“This cottage is much better than ...”

This cottage is much better than described. It is spacious, well maintained with very clean comfortable beds and furniture. It is in a superb location surrounded by fells and walks. Unique surplus car parking provision and excellent facilities for children and dogs. It does not have Wi fi which helps you to relax and have a real break. The main bedroom also had its own loo and washbasin which wasn't in the description. I hope to return. Although in close proximity with the other cottages there is no noise or nuisance of any kind - very quiet despite all being populated. I highly recommend.

“My only concern was the shower as ...”

My only concern was the shower as it didn't seem to have any power and after a day of walking a long bath and a shower really help. Other than that this place is wonderful and I will definitely be going back again

Bassenthwaite 1 mile. A mile out of Bassenthwaite village and around 2 miles from the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, these five holiday cottages nestle under the Skiddaw mountain range, in peaceful surroundings where you can sit and admire the breathtaking views or stroll through glorious countryside. These delightful cottages have been carefully created from old farm buildings and each is uniquely furnished and decorated, retaining character and charm. Scattered around the courtyard, each of these cottages has shared use of the extensive grounds and also a well-equipped games room and a children's play area. With a variety of accommodation across these five cottages, there is plenty of flexibility for all party sizes, and together they can accommodate 21 people, perfect for that special family get-together. There is plenty to do in the local area. These cottages are near the Osprey Project, where visitors can observe wild ospreys in their nests. There are numerous walks from the doorstep, in Whinlatter Forest there is the Go Ape tree-top adventure course, plus walks and mountain bike trails, while the Honister Slate Mine is a fascinating destination at any time of year. Keswick, sitting on the shores of Derwentwater, is 7 miles away, with many interesting shops and cafes. With ghyll scrambling, canoeing and whitewater rafting all available locally, there is something for everyone at these idyllic cottages.

About the location

BASSENTHWAITE

Keswick 8 miles; Cockermouth 9 miles.

An attractive village in the Northern Lakes, Bassenthwaite lies just a short distance to the north east of Bassenthwaite Lake, and retains its traditional rural feel, with a stream flowing gently on the outskirts, whitewashed Lakeland cottages, a pleasant vllage green and a real ale inn full of character! Bassenthwaite Lake itself, while boasting gentler scenery than others in the region, is still one of the most picturesque places in England. Places of interest nearby include Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Lake with small open-air theatre (reputedly frequented by poets such as Tennyson and Wordsworth), LAke District Wildlife Park, and Dodd Wood. Most of the attractions of the Lake District are within easy reach and the quieter Northern Fells are almost on the doorstep. The nearby towns of Cockermouth and Keswick, both have weekly markets and offer a good range of amenities. The scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is within touring distance, as is the city of Carlisle and Hadrians Wall country.
