The property

Cottage 2 is a welcoming cottage resting in the heart of Braithwaite, Cumbria, where its stone-built charm, mezzanine double bedroom, and sociable open-plan living space create an inviting base for families and friends exploring the Lake District.

Set within the grounds of Old Farmhouse Mews, the property offers a warm atmosphere from the moment you step inside, with the open-plan layout encouraging guests to gather, cook, dine, and unwind together.

The kitchen provides everything needed for preparing simple meals after days spent walking the fells, while the dining area invites lively conversations and shared plans for the days ahead.

As evening settles, the sitting area becomes the natural hub of the cottage, where you can curl up in front of the TV or enjoy a board game as the night draws in.

The ground-floor twin bedroom is ideal for younger guests or friends sharing, while the mezzanine double sits tucked beneath the eaves, offering a charming retreat at the end of the day.

A ground-floor shower room completes the layout, providing convenience for all.

Outside, the shared courtyard offers a pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out to explore.

Braithwaite itself is a lovely village, with a shop and pub just moments away, making it easy to enjoy local produce or a hearty meal after a day outdoors.

Keswick is a short drive away, offering Derwentwater cruises, independent shops, and family-friendly attractions such as the Puzzling Place.

Whinlatter Forest provides walking and cycling trails through towering trees, perfect for adventurous days out.

Further afield, the village of Grasmere offers charming cafés, scenic walks, and the famous gingerbread shop.

With so much to discover, Cottage 2 offers a wonderful base for enjoying the beauty and adventure of Cumbria.

Old Farmhouse Mews, Cumbria

Nestled right in the heart of Braithewaite village in a stunning region of Cumbria, surrounded by towering fells waiting to be climbed, Old Farmhouse Mews offers a wonderful collection of accommodation for large groups. Each is wonderfully appointed with plenty of space to unwind with your loved ones after an adventure in the local area. You can return to cook up tasty meals in the kitchen and get together around the dining table, before relaxing into your evening and making the most of an idyllic setting. Outside there is a communal yard with seating for you to sit out and soak up a warm summer's afternoon with a drink, and there is plenty of parking for several cars. Braithwaite is a very desirable village, with three good pubs, one which has been runner up for several years for CAMRAs prestigious pub of the year award, along with a village shop serving freshly baked bread and other produce. From the village are many fell walks, including the Coledale Round, offering an awe-inspiring trail through a classic u-shaped valley with stunning views and not a walk to be taken lightly. The Whinlatter Visitors Centre is close by and is great for children, with a tea room hosting a balcony for viewing red squirrels and woodland birds, an outdoor play area, mountain bike trail and several paths to explore around the forest. Venture across to Keswick for numerous shops and restaurants, as well as a visit to the Derwent Pencil Museum, Keswick Museum and Art Gallery and the famous Theatre by the Lake. There is also miniature golf, excellent parks, a climbing wall, and opportunities for fishing and mountain biking, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the Borrowdale Valley is not to be missed or is the Castlerigg Stone Corcle, thought to be 5000 years old. With so much to see and do in the surrounding area, bring your loved ones along to share a memorable break in Cumbria at Old Farmhouse Mews.

BRAITHWAITE

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. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
