A multi-fuel stove in the original fireplace is a welcome addition on winter mornings. Start your day in the sunny breakfast room which is traditionally furnished with a solid wood dresser and built-in pine cupboards that have housed crockery since there were maids to cook and serve the country gent who originally owned the property.Light the fire, pour a drink and enjoy the pleasure of uninterrupted time to catch up with some of your favourite people.

Many guests opt to shop in Keswick where there is a twice-weekly market every Thursday and Saturday, as well as a super choice of shops, tea shops and pubs, as well as bike hire, and fun attractions like the Puzzle Place and the Derwent Pencil Museum. Continue your walk from the village to the Bowder Stone, which measures an enormous 90 feet around and, incredibly, balances on a corner.
The friendly village of Grange-in-Borrowdale is just under two miles from the cottage, with a cafe, a village shop for the essentials, and a graceful double-arched bridge constructed in 1675 that crosses the River Derwent. There is a wealth of footpaths and cycling routes within walking distance of the cottage, including one leading to the peak of Catbells where the views will take your breath away, and another to the peak of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. The woodland is home to a wide variety of birds, replacing peak-hour honking and pollution with something altogether more tranquil. Take your morning cup of coffee outside to watch the industrious red squirrels busily scampering up and down the trees. You don't even have to leave the cottage to enjoy the natural beauty that makes the Lake District such a popular holiday destination. With eight stops and regular departure times, the 50-minute sightseeing tour is a fantastic way to start your holiday. There is a trail around the entire circumference of the lake - some eight miles - or you can take advantage of the hop-on-hop-off Keswick Launch to help you explore. Not only is the lake utterly stunning but the Cat Bells and the Borrowdale Valley have some of the best views in the entire National Park. It barely takes ten minutes to walk through Manesty Woods to the southern shore of Derwent Water, while Keswick is only a short drive or a leisurely five-mile cycle from the door.ĭerwent Water is a favourite Lake District location. The elegant Edwardian house comfortably sleeps up to nine people in four beautiful bedrooms and is surrounded by National Trust woodland.
The Coppice is in a spectacular location in the Borrowdale Valley, at the base of the Catbells and boasting breathtaking views.
