“Beautiful cottage.”

Ideal as a base to head out walking each day. The views each morning of Skiddaw were just spectacular. I particularly enjoyed sitting in the conservatory each morning, admiring this amazing view and planning the days walk. The cottage was clean and well looked after and the garden perfect for children and definitely dog proof (as there were cows in the neighbouring field that Bob dog was very interested in). However, it might be time to look at getting new beds, as these were uncomfortable and shaped to the last customer. Also, the children's pillows were a little stained. Overall, I would definitely go back and also recommend to a friend.

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.
