8 Bedroom Cottage

Spacious, comfortable and boasting impressive views of your beautiful surroundings, this character-packed property sleeps 12 across eight bedrooms. Keswick, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake are all within 5.5 miles, but there’s lots to discover from your doorstep too. The village of Applethwaite is a wonderful vantage point for exploring and, at the end of the day, the tranquil setting makes for a peaceful evening. Picture lazy evenings dining alfresco against a backdrop of rolling hills and mountain peaks, clinking glasses as you celebrate milestone birthdays and special occasions. Your entire party will have all the home comforts you could wish for, so all you’ll need to do is light the open fire and curl up with your favourite treats.

Discard your outdoor gear and descend on the lounge with mugs of hot cocoa, sinking into the sofas for film nights warmed by the crackling flames of the open coal fire. The kitchen offers a surprising contrast from the lounge’s period beams and rustic vibe as it is completely contemporary with stylish units and all the appliances you need to rustle up hearty feasts for everyone. There are options to dine inside or out, so celebratory mealtimes are a breeze. At bedtime, the bedrooms can be found spread between the first and second floor, all promising a restful night’s sleep. In terms of practicality, there are three shower rooms and a bathroom for your convenience, plus a utility room to take care of any muddy mishaps on your travels. Outside, the enclosed patio and garden will prove tempting to your accompanying three hounds, plus it’s a beautiful spot to sip your coffee. Off-road parking is available for four cars, and further on-street parking is available a short walk away.
