There are numerous woodland paths which lead directly from Applethwaite onto Skiddaw, the views from which are absolutely breathtaking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Somervell and look forward to returning again, (hopefully next year). We found Somervell to be a tastefully furnished character conversion offering spacious accommodation with wonderful views of Derwentwater. We liked the peaceful location, and being at the foot of Skiddaw we were able to take some wonderful walks right from the doorstep. The close proximity to Keswick meant we were able to frequently visit the attractions the town had to offer which was perfect for us being a family with young children to entertain.
The house is a true home from home, the well equipped kitchen with all modern appliances and a huge range of cooking utensils was enough to cater for me, being an adventurous cook. The wide variety of Books and Films available to us complimented the thoughtful touches offered in this comfortable house, the reclining sofas in the lounge were a big hit with the whole family after our many long walks. There was lots of tourist information available to us. Overall, a wonderful week was had by all and we have already recommended the house to others upon our return.
