Description

Threlkeld 2.2 miles.

Nestled in the quaint settlement of St. Johns-in-the-Vale, near Threlkeld in the magnificent Lake District National Park, rests this delightful, stone-built holiday home, Shundraw Cottage.

Boasting off-road parking for two cars, well-presented interiors, and superb views of the Skiddaw and Helvellyn mountain ranges, this charming cottage is the perfect base for a family or group of six, and their well-behaved dog, who are seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape near The Lakes.

Park up, unpack, and make yourself comfortable in your lovely new home-from-home.

Get to work in the fully-equipped kitchen, where you'll find every appliance required to rustle up a tasty, home-cooked dinner.

Savour your meals around the dining table, or even alfresco on the furnished patio when the sun is shining.

In the evening, gather in the sitting area to enjoy a film on the Smart TV before you refresh with a shower or bath on your way to settling in for a night of well-earned rest in one of the three plush bedrooms.

Wake up and gaze out upon your gorgeous mountainous surroundings before you head downstairs to make yourself a hot cup of coffee.

When ready, step out and explore what your local surroundings have to offer.

Make the short trip into Threlkeld, where there is a Post Office and fill up with a hearty pub lunch at the Horse & Farrier.

You'll find a range of fun things to see and do in the nearby market town of Keswick, such as roaming the serene grounds of Hope Park, brushing up on local history at the Keswick Museum, or experiencing mind-bending exhibits at the Puzzling Place.

A boat trip along the calm waters of Derwentwater is also a must during your stay, as is a hike up to the Lodore Falls and the Surprise View, which enjoys stunning, panoramic views of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite.

Enjoy all of this and much more during your stay at Shundraw Cottage.

This has to be the best rental property that we have stayed in our long usage of holiday rentals.

The combination of superb quiet and scenic location, plus the quality of the well stocked warm house and excellent furnishings could not be bettered. Then add to that the friendliness and care taken by the owners to provide visitors with their best experience and you have a perfect holiday destination. Not to mention the immediately surrounding wild life - pet sheep, resident pheasant and garden birds which were greatly enjoyed. The location itself is so convenient for getting around all parts of the Lake District so we managed to cover all of the intended visits and more. Congratulations to Eric and Sue for providing such a wonderful visitor experience - we hope that we shall be paying a return visit some time in the near future.

I haven’t got a bad word to say about this property.

We had the best adventure staying at Shundraw cottage. The owners were absolutely fantastic and took time to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We have already booked to go back and counting the days down. Thank you Sue and Eric! Also to your daughter for taking time to chat to us. So excited to be coming back.

Shundraw Cottage is a lovely, comfy and well equipped holiday cottage, nestled in beautiful countryside.

The kitchen has everything that you might need for your stay, the bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. The views from the cottage to High Rigg, Clough Head and Blencathra are wonderful - even on a rainy day! There are enjoyable walks to do straight from the cottage gate and at the same time Keswick is close by, with easy access to other roads. There were much appreciated scones, butter and jam awaiting our arrival, Along with a bottle of wine and some dog treats for our dogs. A truly peaceful and beautiful place to stay.
