Description

Keswick 4.3 miles.

Taylor’s Cottage is a homely cottage resting in the village of Threlkeld, near Keswick, sporting ample amenities and local walks, ideal for a family or a group of friends looking to explore the stunning countryside of Cumbria.

Flick on the kettle in the kitchen/diner, before making the most of the ample amenities, including a range oven and fridge/freezer, assisting you I cooking up a storm which can be enjoyed at the dining table over a glass of fizz.

The sitting area sports a woodburning stove, making this an ambient space to recline in the sofas after a long day and reflect on your adventures.

When sleep calls, freshen up in the bathroom, relaxing in the Jacuzzi bath, or soaking the countryside chill from your skin with a warm shower, before settling into one of the three charming bedrooms.

Choose between two doubles, both with homely décor, and a twin with characterful wooden roofbeams.

Boasting views over the Blencathra mountain range, several paces from the property you will find a sitting area, ideal for alfresco dining in the sunshine as you plan the day ahead of you.

Threlkeld is a delightful location, home to the Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum, as well as a local café, Threlkeld Coffee Shop, and a selection of pubs, including the Horse & Farrier and Sally Inn.

From the village, guests can take a hike through the dramatic scenery of the Blencathra mountain range, or walk beside the River Greta, taking the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path.

For more amenities and attractions, head over to Keswick, where there is an abundance of shops, convenience stores, and tasty eateries for guests to enjoy, as well as a local golf course and watersports activities beside the River Greta and Derwent Water.

There are many stunning walks within easy reach, including those around Derwent Water, Underskiddaw and Skiddaw, as well as breath-taking views from Skafell Pike.

The property is also within reach of many more wonderful lakes, including Ullswater where there are walks to Aira Force Waterfall.

Lovely cosy cottage and fab location.

Kitchen nice and well equipped and overall we enjoyed our stay but place could do with a little tlc as it is looking tired in parts. Jacuzzi bath didn't work, Alexa link to get extra hot water didn't work and carpets through a little old. A sign on back door would help locate cottagw on first arrival too!

The good stuff… The property is in an excellent location close to 2 local pubs and a beautiful café.

The location allows for lots of lovely walks from the property without moving the car. It is close to Keswick (close enough to walk) The properties of a good size for a family of four and two small dogs. The not so good stuff… The property lacks general maintenance and needs someone to come in and spend some time doing the odd jobs that need doing that won’t cost the Earth. The cottage was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned at all! The only thing that looks like has been done was clean bedding. However, when beds were stripped, pillows were dirty and pillow protectors were dirty. There was dog hair everywhere the carpets look like they were not vacuumed. The bathroom was filthy, including the shower and the whirlpool bath. There were some very impressive cobwebs on the beams in the bedrooms. Sykes cottages were very helpful. They offered to send someone round to clean but I had already done the cleaning as my daughter is terrified of spiders and would not sleep in the room until it was done. The bath and shower were unusable before a good clean! The communication between Sykes myself and the cottage owner was fantastic. The cottage owner was very apologetic and wanted to get the problem resolved for us. I would stay in this property again if I could be assured that all these problems were solved.

A lovely quaint cottage in a beautiful part of the Lake District with Blencathra on the doorstep.

Had a lovely week there and with a few little improvements i.e. there were no curtains on kitchen/diner window and it is a busy corner, thus no privacy, perhaps a coat of emulsion paint all through ground floor as there are signs of dogs and finally remove carpet from lounge and just have hard floor and a rug. These are only suggestions but a lovely homely cottage. Thank you once again for a lovely memorable week.
