Overview
This location is ideal for families or groups of friends. With much to do on your doorstep it is very easy to leave the car and head out on foot. Many local fells are accessible or stroll down to the lake shores of Derwentwater (0.5 miles) to catch the launch from Keswick across the lake and conquer the stunning Catbells popular with walkers of all ages and abilities. For something more challenging Skiddaw is a slightly longer higher walk and at over 3000 feet on a clear day you can see far and wide. Keswick has an abundance of shops including small independent traders galleries and of course tea rooms. The Theatre By The Lake has many well-known productions too. Set over three floors this property has been completely transformed into a practical yet lovely place to stay. As you step through the front door you will find an entrance hall with the original flooring leading through to the pleasant and comfortable open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge has plenty of seating for all the party; it's an ideal place to relax and contemplate the day's activities and decide what to do next. A large open-plan kitchen with a dining area will seat you all for drinks games and good conversation or a hearty meal at the end of a day exploring. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas range-style cooker microwave and dishwasher. Should you get caught in the rain on the way home there is a handy utility room with a washing machine drying space fridge and freezer. Upstairs there are three bedrooms; on the first floor there is a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom complemented by the large family bathroom with a bath walk-in shower and WC. The second floor offers a bedroom with a super-king-size bed with an adjacent shower room which would be ideal for those wanting a little more privacy or convenience during their stay.
