“Comfortable and warm cottage providing ample facilities.”

Safe enclosed garden which was ideal for dogs. Stunning views from sun room. Walks accessible from cottage, village and local pub great too.

“Wonderful cottage close enough to Carlisle for my graduation ceremony.”

Dogs really enjoyed the enclosed garden. Nice touch to have local vet details on the notice board. Stunning views. Excellent laundry room so not having to come home to start all the washing. Really enjoyed a chilled holiday. Thank you.

“We loved the open views of Skiddaw and glimpses of the lake from the conservatory which with a southerly aspect provided a beautiful breakfast vista where we could watch the horizon landscape change as the weather closed in and, occasionally, improved!”

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.
